The best authentic central/Latin food. The owner is amazing. She cares very much about her customers. She will take care or you and serve you amazing food. Everything here is amazing. Please come here. It's my new favorite restaurant
I have been a customer of this establishment for yeeeears so when I saw their second location being built, I had to give it a try. The restaurant has an inviting and clean environment and the waitresses are super attentive. I'm so happy they opened a second location now because now I have options on what type of atmosphere I want for that day. The food is delicious and that says a lot because I'm a very picky eater. The pupusas are just how I like it, thick but not over powered with maza (the dough they use), good amount of filling and not overly greasy. Their plating is gorgeous so it ties the entire experience together. You want delicious authentic Salvadoran food, you found the spot!!
The place is small, but has parking. Staff was friendly and bilingual, but food took a bit of time. Understandibly, we had a group of 10 ordered various dishes and while it was okay some lacked a lil flavor some salt had to be added here and there. Side note The mely's breakfast is referred to as something else in back of house so it got a lil confusing. I asked for scramble and got over medium needed to send that back but once I got My plate the beans were the star. The platano was a lil soft but still good. The Tamale de elite needed more steaming and I would've preferred it in the husk instead of peeled for me.
Currently typing this review while in a food coma from eating here! This restaurant is amazing! The food is delicious, the staff is outstanding, and the presentation is great. Also, the place is very clean. Make sure you order a papusa with your meal because it was the best I’ve had. Same with their Salvadoran Horchata. I definitely plan on coming back to this place…very soon.
