Baleadas and pupusas the best here. Prices are fair. Very good
Super delicious mouthwatering food, they take their time to cook it so call ahead to save time, food is truly authentic, service is very good. I am a native Salvadoran so don’t be fooled by the bad reviews from others, I’m a regular customer here because the service and quality of the food are one of the best, the owner makes sure she makes your food to the best quality standards in the food industry sanitation and food poising control certification is required for all cooks per owner’s policy. The atmosphere and Interior of the building are distracting making you doubt about what you are getting to eat. But the dishes are made like if your grandmother cooked it. Prices are very low in comparison to others.
