Excellent place! Fantastic service! We were nearby at an art show. This place had great reviews so we tried it out. It did not disappoint. I loved the different options. Everyone could find something to eat here. Portions are large and filling. Vegetarian options were great. I had a veggie sandwhich. It was delicious. I loved the soft bread. We will definitely go back when in the area!

My wife is from El Salvador and she said that this is the most authentic Salvadorian restaurant that we have been to. The service was excellent the food extraordinary, they even have imported beer and sodas from El Salvador. As you enter it's like you're transported to a little restaurant off of one of the main streets in Salvador. The decor is very warm and homie. We ordered pupusas, chicken soup that comes with a bowl of rice, salad, and a whole fried chicken leg. We first add yuca and chicharron as an appetizer. In doing a mural I indulged in a 32 oz bottle of Regia beer.

We love eating out. Yesterday we visited this magnificent place which we didn’t know before. We enjoyed a beautiful evening there with very good dishes and a well-trained team and a great chief cook. We put this venue in our phone list and we shall definitely visit again very soon. We highly recommend.

The owned of the establishment welcomed us. He asked us where we would like tosit. he tehn gave us a menu and asked if we had ever eaten Salvadoran cusine. He went down the various offerings. Asked about water for us. When we ordered he explained what ccondiments went with what. The food was amazing - we got the appetizer platter and it was more than enough for two people. The tastes an d textures of the food - incrfedible.

First of all the place is nice, servers are really nice, I dare to say that this is a good example of salvadorian hospitality and cuisine. Pupusas of course are the main thing here by the way are great no matter what you are craving for, got Yuca with pork which is great. If you are with kids that want more american food great try burgers and pizza.

Chose this place to eat on a whim and was not disappointed! We only ordered off of the Salvadorian menu and everything that we got was very good. Special mention is the appetizer sampler and the individual pupusos. The sampler had a lot of food with a good mix of items. Plenty for four of us. The pupusos are delicious and cheap. Tempting to just order a bunch and have them as the meal!

Great little spot to get delicious Pupusas. Tried the Pan con pollo as well and it was fantastic. The chicken was seasoned perfectly and the bread roll tasted freshly made. I took away 1 star, because 2 out of my 3 Pupusas were a bit undercooked for my liking.

Yes yes and yes! The pupusas are so legit here the only bad part is that their alcohol is really not strong at all you minus well order a lemonade. The service is OK but the food is amazing!

One of the fun places on Grand we keep going back to. We have tried about half of the menu so far, and everything has been tasty. It's also fun to learn a bit more about Salvadorian culture by trying their foods. The service is fantastic and the dining room inside is quiet enough to have a conversation without shouting, always a plus for us. A great place to take friends or out of town visitors, as well.

If you’ve never had a papusa, now is a good time to try one at this cozy Salvadoran restaurant. These savory lovelies are hand made with masa and stuffed with a variety of fillings. I tried the chicken with cheese and the black beans and cheese. Heap on the traditional cabbage garnish and salsa for a delicious meal. I can also highly recommend the stuffed roasted mushroom appetizer. I am looking forward to a return trip to try other traditional Salvadoran dishes in the menu.

I've never had Salvadoran food before, so I didn't know what to expect. I thought the pan pizza Salvadoran style we had for the appetizer was great. The Bistec Encebollado I had for the main entree was good, but not great. I will probably visit again and try another main dish.
