Great service, friendly staff. Food was good.
Great salvadorian food! I love this place :)
We are lucky in San Diego and surrounding cities to have a variety of ethnic foods. Salvadorian food is a unique blend of sweet treats like the Platanitos ( ripe fried plantain ) with savory dishes like Yuca con chicharron ( fried casaba rood with pork cracklings )
Don't go to this restaurant to eat Mexican food and write your review based on that. Explore, ask and investigate a bit of this food that is unique and very tasty. Order some Pupusas stuffed made to order corn tortillas filled with combination of items like Loroco, cheese, spinach, chicharron, black beans, jalapeños and more. Served with pickled cabbage and red salsa. The tamales both pork and chicken are wrap in a banana leave. Larger than the ones you a re just to see. The Pan relleno, the equivalent of a torta is light and delicious.
Of course they will have the traditional Mexican fare for those that are not adventurous but, take the time and ask questions you'll be greatly surprised on the flavors and new ingredients. You can get carne asada fries anywhere. Prices are low in my opinion and the decor is just as the casual restaurants in El Salvador are decorated. Pay them a visit and order Salvadorian food. You'll be happy you did.

Really like the food. I've never been but the food was great. Plus the server helped me pick out what to eat. Even asked for help in the back when we tried to figure out how to translate the menu for me.. Only reason not 5 stars is the decor. Needs updated. But I got my food to go, ????????♂️????
The pupusas are delish, the food is truly Salvadoran, with a traditional flare. The green sauce is the best!
