We loved the food here! We had a huge appetizer plate. Lots of plantains and tamales! Nothing fancy for atmosphere but very yummy!

Don’t recommend, Disorganized and messy. Stood in line for 15 min to pay for phone order. After it was my turned the lady gave preference to the guy in the back (skipping two other customers) charging him first because he’s order was more money than mine was.From a customers perspective that’s rude and unprofessional.Never coming back

This location was highly recommended for its authentic Salvadoran specialities, and we were impressed by the overall menu, service, and food flavors. The papusa's are a must-try if you haven't before! We chose several including queso and calabaza. The chips/sauce was also excellent - will definitely return to try additional dishes and more of the papusa choices!

This is a spot me and my significant other go to on a constant basis to enjoy great food. The prices are completely reasonable and the portion sizes are worth it. The staff are nice and welcoming. Highly recommend

So I called and ordered a breakfast veggie burrito no meat no cheese with theZucchini pupusa and salsa and chips. And what do you know when I find my burrito there is meat in it! No way Jose I will not ever come back here again! There is no room to make any type of mistake like that.

Ordered the pupusa and it was the main factor for the low starFood was average if thatDrinks were weakPrice was high

Don't go here! I got food poisoning and got really sick instantly. The cashier lady is awful, she over charged us by $15 dollars and said accused her of stealing when all we wanted to pay for was 3 items and a coke. (1 Taco, oysters and ceviche all for $51 doesn't add up.) Really bad service overall and first time her but last time, don't risk getting sick!

We stopped by for pupusas, of course. That's my sons favorite, and there are not too many places where you can get that around here. (I've always thought their pupusa salsa is too salty for me, but this last time I went, it wasn't, thankfully. Maybe they have adjusted their recipe?)Their fruit drinks are super delicious! Arrayan is my favorite. Highly recommend. Next time I will order two, and just skip dinner :-PAs my son ordered pupusas, i ate some sort of taco plate that the server recommended. Very good meat! My son actually left his pupusa to grab my tacos instead, which never happens! I've also had super delicious tacos al pastor here a few years ago where they were searing the meat outside. (If you drive by on El Camino and see them do that, just stop and get some!) If you like Salvadoran food or tacos, this is a good stop in Mtv/Svl. (If they would change the interior lighting, lower their TV volume, and get a different kind of tortilla chips, i'd give them 5 stars).

Food is completely over priced. I don’t mind paying for good food, but nothing here was amazing just blah.Chicken soup was ?$18.00.The lady cashier was rude which sucks because the young man try hard to make sure the services was good. She ruined the experience. I won’t be back.

I love the food here, but the server/cashier Stephanie did not have the costumer service experience that someone should have working in a restaurant. She was rude and seemed as if she didn’t walk to work there. La señora Stephanie no sabe attender bien a la gente. Pero la comida está muy bien siempre me gustaba venir a comer aquí.
