If you are looking for real authentic Latin food this is the place for you. They have several locations in Midlothian, Chester, Henrico, the east end, and south side. The food is pretty cheap and always fresh. My family is from El Salvador and when we crave pupusas or desayuno alegre this is where we go. Breakfast all day too! My favorite things to order are the pupusas, sopa de res, desayuno amanecer, tamales de pollo or elote, and any of the tacos. You also have to try the melon agua Fresca, it is to die for and so refreshing. I have been to every location and they are all consistent as far as the food goes. Don't forget to stop by the market that is attached and get cool snacks, cheeses, and carne asada that is pre-seasoned to make at home. You won't regret it!

La comida tien un muy buen sabor, pero apparentemente después de las 8:00pm el cocinero hace su propio menu, es decir hace los platos como a el le parece, siempre pido sopa de gallina asada, la manda frita. No soy de los que regresa la comida para que la preparen como esta en el menú, pero esta vez lo hice. Mejor no digo como me mandó la mitad de la gallina. Repito la cómoda tiene un buen sabor .

I had no idea there was a restaurant in the back of the store. I have been going regularly to the store for the chicarrons. Tried the restaurant side today. Very delicious beef soup. Good portions and prices. Friendly ladies. I will definitely be back for the horchata. I want to slowly go through the whole menu. ?

This place is a hidden gem. The grocery has a wide selection, friendly staff, and delicious fresh meats, cheeses, and pastries. The restaurant is where the magic is, though. Shrimp quesadillas, tamales, horchata... it's all phenomenal, and very reasonably priced.Please expect that not all staff speak English, but they are very patient with you if you attempt to speak in broken Spanish.

The service here was good. The cashier was super nice when I was looking for an elote even though they didn't have it. It's ok. I found my puerquitos.

Great customer service. Lovely market! The food from the restaurant side of the store is immaculate! Fresh and authentic. Will be back very soon! Best Horchata I have had in decades!

This is an average restaurant/store. The store is congested but has a good variety of Latino products. I’m just starting to ‘shop’ Latino ingredients, so Jose is helpful and very friendly! The fried chicken breader he suggested was delicious! I haven’t gotten to ‘know’ the ladies in the restaurant but they are ‘cordial’. You could guess their interactions are limited (to taking your order) because they don’t speak a lot of English? IDK but they don’t engage - even when there is no one on the restaurant but me. Anyway, the most important thing you want to know is about the food (I guess). The food is …ok! I would say the tacos are good for a quickie when you’re hungry. I haven’t tried much else other than their cóctel de camarón and I have had better but it’s tolerable. Like I said…it’s tolerable.I will add one thing of importance…they have a SafeService award hanging up…but what’s up with the girls who wait tables, serve food, handle money and brooms and dishrags making ‘whatever’ without gloves. They keep placing the dish they use back in the ‘pot’ and it’s floating their hand germs in pot…going back and forth doing things…this is not safe service!
Great place to eat! I really recommended to anyone…Get pupusas and tacos and beef soups is amazing!Vegetarian options: Get the Pupusas with cheese beans and loroco flowers they are deliciously prepared with rice or corn flour ..

Wish there was an option to choose zero, I was FORCED to put one star when they most definitely deserve zero.Came here for the first time to have dinner and invited my mom and a friend. My food was good, my friend’s food too but my mom’s wasn’t. She ordered Yuca con Chicharron, the yuca was good but the Chicharron was hard and dry. So dry and hard that not even a rat could eat without chocking on it. We kindly told our server about it and said they will charge only the Yuca. Or we can change the entire plate but for extra. McDonald’s would change the entire meal for free if anything is wrong with it…. So yeah, we said we’ll keep the super hard and dry Chicharron, and they ‘said’ they wont charge it… as we were about to pay, I asked for a to go box, and as we were about to leave, she charged me full price cause their manager said to charge me full price because Im taking it home…horrible, awful. Won’t come here anymore, after they ‘adjusted’ the price but still was too much for what I’ve ordered. Horrible experience. On top of that, my friend put some things on the side she was going to purchase but some employee must have moved it. We asked if they seen a basket with things and they all said no. Sus much? Beware of this location.
