My family and I ate hear the other night and it was a good experience. Food was good, service was good, prices were good. Fed a family of 4 with dessert for 50 and had leftovers. Kids and I had the pupusas plates which I recommend. My wife had the beef soup which she loved and shared with the kids. Definitely would recommend this place if you want some authentic Salvadoran food.

The food is very good, the prices are excellent, the service is very good and the establishment is very clean. I work on my laptop and I am always looking for quiet places to work comfortably. The staff took great care of me, the service is fast. Without a doubt I will visit this restaurant again.

Not the best, save your money! Service was horrible, food was disgusting. However the music was good & had a wide variety. Wouldn't eat here again. There's food at home.

I’ve tried many different places and this one definitely tastes like home. Best salvi spot in Houston for sure

Hot day in Houston and the tummies are craving for Salvadoran food. Found this in a strip mall with a burrito spot and a few feet down the strip a Tex mex restaurant. In to El Picocito we went. Out server tho on the younger side was a very polite attentive patient and professional young man. Food was good and felt like it was home made, not restaurant type. Place was nice clean welcoming. One could tell it's a family operated business, well done one at that! So kudos to them. The portions were generous and doggy bags are def needed. One star taken away for I would have enjoyed an ambiance that gave more a "going out" vibe versus god food no frills type of place.

It was good but pupusas don't taste like Salvadorian ones to dry

Enjoyed the food here. I went in on my lunch break looking for pupusas. I tried the chicken and cheese. They were decent. Exactly what I expected. The service was fast and friendly. The staff was accommodating, should be noted the English was limited. We made it work with google translate. Not much for ambiance, it was quiet and clean.
