When I take my Family to a restaurant, I don't expect, or want to see graphic Latino dance videos on a tv monitor hanging from the ceiling. The food was not the old Elsie's quality either. First visit......and last visit.

Very good breakfast

Excellent food at reasonable prices and good service. Kinda old school dive. Full bar. Highly recommend.

Our group of 5 ordered to-go with quite a bit of food ranging from a dozen pupusas and Camarones Al Ajo. Food was hot and plentiful. All sides were included and enough to go with each bite. I ordered Camarones Al Ajo and I could definitely split it into two meals for two different days. The shrimp were springy with the delicious taste of a bbq sear still on them. Happy to order again!

Food was mediocre. Service was very slow and they add the top to the bill.

Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day and had to travel north on rt 1 to find a good spot. Now, that I found this place, I will never have to travel for my American breakfast. The place is small but never crowded and definitely no wait. The food is delicious and the staff are extremely nice. I highly recommend for anyone looking for a breakfast spot.

The pupusas are great and for comida tipica (typical Hispanic food) I enjoy the salads. This is a more of a cheap eats for hungry teachers gem. Service is also great!

I am so disappointed in the lack of knowledge of simple pancakes and bacon and french toast, bacon and eggs with cheese. The food came out burnt smh ??‍♀️ but I was trying to give them a chance. Then my and my mom’s french toast was burnt also, the eggs were cooked then a slice of cheese put on top of it, not even melted and we just asked for the check and 2 boxes. The check was $59! It was 2 orders of french toast and pancakes for Christ sakes, I paid and said I would be writing a review. I will never go back, don’t put you cook breakfast all day but your cook can’t cook. I wanted to call John Taffer and ask him to help y’all because when it was Miss Elsie’s this would never happen!

DO NOT GO HERE! This restaurant stole our credit card information and attempted to make charges. Thankfully the credit car company was able to stop it. DO NOT GO HERE!

So much good food! Hubby had the chicharron with pupusa and a side of fried plantain. I ordered a chicken tamale and Tajada with carne asada. We shared guacamole. Needless to say bringing home lots of leftovers. The plantains were my favorite, slightly sweet with with crunchy edges. Everything is cooked to order, nothing pre-made. Wish I had taken pictures before we ate so you can see how big the portions are and how good everything was. There is karaoke at 9 PM on Saturday so it got noisy, but we were almost done with our food so no issues. Was fun to listen to the music.

Delicious! Servers were very nice & restaurant had a friendly, family-run type vibe. Food took a bit to cook but that's because it's made to order! Pupusas were absolutely amazing. Will be eating here again.
