“This Salvadoran restaurant is a solid spot for comforting, flavorful food. You order and pay at the counter first, then they bring the food to your table. We tried the revuelta pupusa, which comes filled with beans, cheese, and pork. It was well made, flavorful, and even better with the two hot sauce bottles provided on the table. We also shared the molcajete mixto, which came with a variety of meats and soft cactus. It was tasty and a great way to try a little bit of everything. Definitely make sure to scoop up the sauce and eat it with the tortillas. The Jamaica and agua de ensalada are a must to wash everything down. Both were refreshing and paired really well with the food. Service was friendly, but very minimal. Staff brought the food to the table, but it was hard to flag someone down since they often disappeared into the kitchen. There were no water refills or much table service beyond dropping off the food. Because of that, having the payment machine suggest at least a 15% tip at the counter felt a bit unjustified for the level of service provided. Overall, the food was enjoyable and worth trying, especially for the pupusas, molcajete, and drinks. I would come back for the food, but with the expectation that service is more counter-style and limited.”
