This restaurant truly touched my heart. The cozy house-themed setting immediately brought back memories of my childhood the decorations, the music, and the warm atmosphere all reminded me of home in my country. The flavors in the food were incredibly nostalgic, just like the dishes my aunts and grandmothers used to make when I was little. Everything was delicious and full of love. I absolutely loved the experience and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a taste of home.
Good food but slow service. Called at 6pm for a 7:10pm order pick up. It is past 7:45pm and i am still waiting ---- They checked up on me and offered an explanation and a drink! Appreciate the professionalism
I found best pupusas! There is such a nice experience to taste it. My favourite are with spinach&cheese, chicken and red beans. There are also wide variety of smoothies. The service is great! Food is very tasty!
Absolutamente delicioso. This place is great with wonderful vegan options! I ordered the vegan chicharrón y queso pupusa with a side of frijoles and a Chan fresco drink. It also came with curtido and their salsa. Will definitely be returning!
One of the best beef soups, caldo de carne. The soup includes 2-3 pieces of beef, yuca, squash, corn, plantain, carrots, green beans, cilantro, and a tortilla and limes. Very tasty and delicious. Parking is scarce, you may have to park on neighborhood streets.
Pan con pollo was delicious! Great customer service. It gets packed during lunch time and there is also carry out option . Pupusas are not salty nor greasy. Extra parking can be found across the street of the restaurant.
Fun little place for a weekend breakfast — soccer is playing on TV, families are chilling together having breakfast, and it’s a cozy little atmosphere inside. Nothing fancy or gourmet, but more so comfort food if that’s more your speed.
The food was delicious. We had pupusas, tamales, yucca, a bowl, and a juice. I really appreciated the emphasis on vegetarian options and the eco friendly silverware. Friendly staff and pleasant, mellow atmosphere.
