OMG Delicious! Their menu has a lot to choose from with a lot of combinations and a lot of choices that I had previously never tried anywhere else. I ordered the Pupusa with Cheese, Potato and Ground Beef and it was SOOOO good. Super tasty, melty and messy! It appears that the ground beef is cooked with onions and peppers, but they did not overpower the flavor. (I am typically not a fan of green peppers) I also ordered a chicken empanada which was very fresh and tasty. Again, they cook the chicken with peppers, but I could not taste them. Ordered a chorizo taco, which was my least favorite item which surprised me, but it was very mild and bland chorizo. Finally, I ordered the chorizo and cheese dip with chips which was loaded with flavor and mildly to medium spicy. (I eat a lot of spicy stuff, so mild to me, but probably medium to most) Overall, I had to give them a huge 5 star rating and am already planning my next lunch with them! Overall an amazing value. Oh yeah, I almost forgot, the tortilla chips were hot and fresh too!!!

Their empanadas and Papusas are great. You should seriously consider trying Honduran and Salvadoran food and this is the only place around to try it.

Food is ok for the cost and the atmosphere seems a bit dead while service was not the greatest.

Service was great. The menu offers great variety. I ate a delicious fried banana. My coworker had a very interesting milk shake in a large bowl shaped glass. My pork burrito was decent. I'll try something different next time though.

The food was pretty good, I would say it’s almost authentic as some elements were off. Consistency between photos listed on the menu and posted online isn’t there. I was most disappointed about the sour cream being american style sour cream and not crema salvadorena. The restaurant is clean just very cluttered. You are literally smacked in the face with a tree upon entering and exiting. Booths are super small, which made a tight squeeze especially with all the food we ordered. Felt kind of neglected for there being two servers and no one in the restaurant. I would say the prices are slightly high for what you get.

Giovani was amazing. He took care of our group and food was excellent. We were a party of about 50 and his team was able to prepare food in no time. Most impressive was the quality of food. We have people from Mexico, Columbia and other Latin countries and everyone was just amazed by the quality and flavours of food. Must try this place. I am a vegetarian however others in my group ate meat and were equally impressed.Kid-friendliness: Beautiful setup with booths for families.

It's a culinary adventure that will satisfy both your taste buds and your craving for genuine Central American cuisine. I'll definitely be returning to savor more of what this hidden gem has to offer.
