"Good spot for a quick bit or a full meal. I stop like ritual every morning for my pan con frijoles/huevos/creso duro, can't go wrong. The food is delicious and the girls are nice, not mean like other places I've gone. I think it is a spot that is underrated, been in a corner, no parking lot. Feels cozy. Like one of those little spots, you go in El Salvador and get surprised."

"Best Pupusas we have ever eaten!! Soo Yummy!! We ordered 3 cheese, 4 queso con loroco, and 3 revueltas. All delicious, although queso con loroco is our favorite! Everyone there gave excellent customer service and that is a plus! Finally how can I forget, the pan dulce that we tried. I would not be able to explain characteristics but I can 100% say it was DELICIOUS. My husband bought two at first then after trying it and already in the car he went back and bought 3 more. In my opinion still weren't enough!!!!! They were gone asap!!. Lol. I definitely recommend this restaurant if you want to enjoy authentic Salvadorian food! ( FYI, my husband and my son mentioned that while waiting for order they noticed some other plates on tables which look very appealing)"
