I walked in not knowing what to order at a Salvadoran restaurant. Waitress treated me very well and explained my options to me in detail. Food was better than I expected, it was delicious. I’m going back soon.

Called ahead before making the drive, they said they could wait for me and my girlfriend despite being near to closing time. The place is clean and the smell of fresh bread is welcoming. The food here is fairly priced, I’d go as far as to say, they could definitely get away with charging a dollar or two more. The tortillas were handmade, orchata here is very distinct compared to 75% of other restaurants with the same style of food, it’s delicious and has a nutty taste. Their green sauce lacks heat but makes up with flavor. The reviews don’t lie, there’s a reason for the 4.9 stars, I bet over 80% of their clientele return. I gave it a shot some weeks ago because Marco’s is next to it, didn’t disappoint then, didn’t disappoint today, and I expect to be satisfied next visit just like today.

We stopped here for breakfast after delivering Thanksgiving meals from Operation Turkey on Thanksgiving Day. The people were so nice and friendly that we felt at home right away. The food was hot and delicious. They also had a nice selection of pastries to choose from. I had a fried plantain filled with milk cream and my husband had some pupusas wrapped in banana leafs. Both were so tasty. We want to go back and try some of the other dishes.
