So delicious! Great customer service, excellent food. I went next door and got some authentic El Salvadoran hot sauce, champagne cola, and a baked good. I ordered pupusas, chicken, rice and beans. Those beans were fire and desire !!! I loved the flat thick tortilla bread that came with the chicken. Next time I want to try the chicken soup !

Great food but horrible service. I was told 20-25 mins for my order which was phoned ahead. It's been 45 mins and 4 people have come in and been served before me. I'll be late for work now as well.

Really good pupusas, if you go I will recommend to try the one with cheese and beans. Friendly staff and good service overall.

Went inside and nobody at the cashier gfor a good 5 mins. I ordered my food and i was waiting for 40 mins!!!!! one had her mask under her chin and not properly on. I saw an older lady cook rubbing her nose and mask not on properly. I did take a picture of the lady with not wearing the face mask. Just concern due to the pandemic and especially handling with food. I left instead

We really enjoyed our meal on the patio. Great service. The food was delicious. We had the tapas, ordered the cheese board, lamb skewers, and a potato dish. For dessert we had the churro with dulce de leche filling. It was so delicious that we got a second order to bring home to our kids. Highly recommend. Will definitely go back, again and again.

I cannot say enough about this place. It sits in an ideal spot and has a great atmosphere. Some friends and I picked this place to have a late breakfast. It was quite busy and I'm sure it's always like that. We had a 30-45 minute wait, so we ordered coffees until sipped until we were called to our table.

Seriously and hands down the best Salvadorian food in Orange County! All my co-workers at my office love this place.

Meatballs are to die for and come with garlic bread which was yumm! Prosciutto and Burrata are fresh and delicious! Olives are pitted and large with a wide variety. Comes with complimentary bread and dipping sauce. I must come back!

Mediocre food, poor service, and a sneaky 20% gratuity added to our bill even though we were only a group of 3. You can get better food with more attentive service at a better value in a better setting anywhere else on the street.

I walked in and there is no worker to take orders. There was only a woman cook, then some lady came out and I was trying to order and she said very rudely that the wait for to go orders is 40 minutes. 40 minutes??? Are you serious, I just wanted two pupusas to go… not coming back. Rude service
