I was in the area for work and am so glad that there is such a wonderful, authentic Central American restaurant in town. I had a warming and spicy Mexican-style shrimp soup, a pupusa with excellent curtado, platanos and a horchata drink. Very friendly service and very affordable as well. The restaurant is inside of a grocery store and bakery focused on Central American staples. If I am ever back in the area for work, I know exactly where to eat.
Just walking into the restaurant and the bakery smells amazing. Mix of Salvadoran and Mexican options and everything is delicious. There's also a market attached to the restaurant and bakery. I've had tacos and papusas here before, and today it's the carne asada and a papusa with an agua de jamaica. This isn't an Americanized place that has lost all the culture and flavor, go check it out if you're wanting something authentic.

We love this place! Never had a bad meal there to date. My husband loves the mojarra frita every time and had it with fried shrimp on it last night! So delicious! I try something different every time and haven’t been disappointed. I had the Guatemalan tamal which is deliciously flavored by the banana leaf it’s wrapped in and tried the bean and cheese pupusa for the first time. Everything was delicious as usual! Definitely recommend this place?
