“ As a new immigrant from Korea who just landed in California last month, I had no idea about what El Salvadorian food is like. To say the conclusion first, I loved the food!!! I was with my husband and both of us didn't know what to eat. So we asked the server for help and she recommened us grilled chicken. And we also orderes cheese pupusa. The chiken dish came with a small portion of soup and one plain pupusa. The chicken was a thigh, so perfectly grilled, with little bit of salt sprinkled, helplessly good. Garnished with two slices of tomato, cucumber, beat, and anonimous vegetable/plant was fresh and aromatic. Cheese pupusa was satisfactory because it has enough cheese in it, and goes well with that El Salvadorian coleslaw. (With some chilli sauce, the coleslaw tasted little bit like kimchi! Haha.) Great food. Kind staffs with great smiles. I definitely want to go back to this small and lovely restaurant and try other menus as well!! Highly recommended. ”
“ Small hole on the wall, with great food won't disappoint, gotta try their pupusas they are rare to find to be this delicious, fried plantains with sour creme also another good dish, their chicken soup never fails, over hearing other people conversations they always go back to this restaurant because they feel like home, and food is great, drinks are really good as well they have Jamaica, Horchata and Tamarindo and of course sodas. Highly recommend to give this place a try food will not disappoint. ”
“ The Salvadoran food here is fantastic. And I've tried many. It will not disappoint. Wait time 5-10 minutes for the food. And if you've been to any other Salvadoran restaurant the waiting time is always terrible... The only problem with this restaurant is the interior space. -So Small that you can hear people's conversations... But the food is amazing and very affordable. ”
“ Our favorite are the bean ONLY and the cheese with loroco and beans (lol). We also really like the fried plantains with the beans and table cream. Families pack this place on the weekends so calling ahead might be a good option.. although they also have coffee so I don’t mind waiting. ”
