Decent food, but there are no food options below $12. I first ate the pupusa meal. After that I wanted just a little bit more to eat, but not a $12+ dish. So I left and went to another taco place to get a couple tacos for $5. Just some business they missed out on.

Lovely experience and food. Not like anything else I’ve had, except when I’ve had El Salvadoran food many years in the past. It has a subtlety to it that I find very appealing. If I had to make a wild guess, maybe they use a flour that is unique to El Salvadoran food, giving the whole dish a unique taste.Highly recommend, am eager to return with people who will certainly appreciate it a lot.

Fantastic food. Great staff. Had breakfast. Can't wait to come back for dinner

A group of us got together to embark on a new culinary adventure, and we ended up visiting this intriguing establishment. The restaurant boasts ample indoor and outdoor seating, creating a spacious and inviting atmosphere. The staff members were incredibly friendly and kind, going above and beyond to provide us with exceptional service. The food, a delightful blend of traditional and fusion dishes, proved to be quite satisfying. We relished the traditional offerings while savoring the creative twists in the fusion options. The cocktails were particularly delicious, adding an extra touch of enjoyment to our experience. Considering the location, the prices were reasonable and justified the overall value we received. All in all, this restaurant stands out as the finest Salvadorean dining experience I have encountered in the greater Seattle area.3.8 for food3.5 for atmosphere4.8 for service

Dined in on Saturday early evening, and had the best papusas and fish. The margarita's were perfect. Lily and her team took excellent care of us. I look forward to going back. Thank you so much!

Delicious items I recommend:*Chips and salsa. Homemade and made to order*Pupusas: Pork, beans, cheese and habanero sauce (SPICY)*Margarita. You can do traditional OR hibiscus+mint OR mango. I had the mango and it was SO GOOD!!The restaurant was one that our friends wanted to try for a while, so we tagged along. An interesting note is that some of the indoor seating are church pews which felt like a very Seattle thing to do. There were indoor and outdoor seating options.The service was great. Our server made recommendations, explained the process of Salvadoran style tamales, told us her favorite pupusas, recommended drinks and was patient with us as we decided.Overall we really enjoyed lunch!

Vegetarian options: Non-meat items available

Parking: To the left of the building there's parking.

The service here is friendly and delightful. The pupusas are a featured menu item and are delicious. The pork and beans, chorizo and beans, and vegetable and beans options are all delicious. We received three complimentary horchata samples upon arrival, they were unique and different but delicious. For dessert, plantain empanadas were sweet with sugar coating though the flavor didn't make a huge impression.

Food: The carne azada plate is so good, and even though I'm always too full to finish them I always get an order of pupusas for leftovers!Service: super friendly wait staff. Good peopleDrinks: tasty! on the sweeter side, but I enjoyed a mojito and I usually don't like them.Verdict: go eat here!

Tried Lily’s because our usual place was closed and this was close by. A co-worker had let me know this new place was open. The staff were friendly the place was clean, loved the mural and traditional clothes the staff were wearing. Food wise, the best Salvadorean chorizo I have tried in WA! That was about it for the most authentic food, everything else we tried was alright but overly priced. Tried the pastelitos de puerco, pupusas revueltas, tamales de puerco and the Samantha’s special (I think). My hubby got the wrong order (cheese pupusas instead of revueltas waiter took too long so we just ate them). They didn’t have horchata or cola champagne and didn’t have rice flour for the pupusas as an option. We will be going back to our regular spot that is less expensive and more authentic.

The most authentic and delicious pupusas you'll find in Seattle. I'm originally from El Salvador, and the food here is everything I remembered it to be. The staff is attentive and friendly. Definitely a must for Salvadorean cuisine.

Delicious food and friendly and attentive service. Loved the carne asada and the habanero pork pupusa. Michelada was delicious too, their house recipe. It’s a very spacious, airy space. I don’t usually dine indoors but felt very comfortable there.

Delicious and authentic. Very friendly staff and very knowledgeable with their suggestions. Recommend from drinks to mains and to desserts. Must try
