The food was delicious! The carne asada was tender, the rice was tasty, and the shrimps were buttery. The pupusa de queso was very good with lots of cheese. The horchata was refreshing

Terrible service, I just bought some pupusas, apart from the fact that they were obviously reheated, they gave me burnt ones and they were very salty, it is an expensive place for what they sell

Bad experience. We got a Carne Asada, taste plain. The server was the worst. She brought the wrong food, didn't bother to come ask if we needed anything after the food, and didn't ask if we needed drinks refilled. They added an 18% gratuity to the check, that's why the server was terrible, she already knew it was going to be added to the check. I asked someone else why it was added, he stated it was added to checks of $50.00 and more automatically. Won't be coming back. Save your money and go somewhere else.

Really good El Salvadorean eats! I had the sopa de pollo and a bean papusa. I think the soup was a bit overpriced. But I will come back to try other items on the menu. If you like El Salvadorean cooking and you are in the area, definitely with a visit!

I'm honestly leaving this 3 star review because the food was good, but the service horrible. The waitress was sitting with her friend or boyfriend or whatever, we had to order the waters again because she was busy with her things and not doing her job, we ordered a plate with beans on the side and with chicken, we He brought beans on the plate and meat instead of chicken. We had to change for another dish that we had ordered the chicken for the meat, because we were not going to wait another 15 minutes for another chicken to be brought to us because of her mistake. I didn't feel like being there. The food was really good, but the service we had was so unfriendly and unfriendly. Interest we will not return. The bathroom, they have a urinal, was full of urine.. and the entire floor and wall with urine. Please improve on that, if you really want your place to succeed because they have good food, but they make an ugly experience. Apart from the fact that they charge 11% in taxes and 18% in gratitude...obviously, as they always receive the 18% tip, they do not worry about providing good service because they will receive the money regardless of the service they provide. We were there on Sunday, July 21, 2024 at 1:30 pm.
