I got a to go order of casimiento (rice and beans mixed), eggs, cheese, sour cream, and homemade tortillas. It was delicious and generous portions. Great option for a vegetarian. They had other options as well. Next time I'm in town I will try the pupusas.

I like the place, is good.I have been going to that restaurant for about 10 years.I always order popusas.The place is still the same, people are nice and good service.I just feel like the quality of the food is not as good as it just to be and the price is higher than other places that I know of.However I will probably go back if I'm in the area.

The food here was very good. I ordered take out.The guy who helped me was very nice and my was done in like 15 minutes and I ordered a big order. The papusas were tasty and not dry. And the beans were really flavorful. I like the slaw it wa served with too.

Food a was delicious though pretty expensive. I wish there wasn't a tv showing violent fighting, especially for our kid - he was a little perturbed by it. Staff was very friendly taking our order, but they didn't come to check on us or refilled our waters - at their price point, I would expect a more attentive service throughout our whole visit.

I found this little hidden gem by accident, and I have to say, I'm SO sad that it's SO far from my house!! The sopa de res was delicious, with chunks of meat that melted in your mouth. It completely hit the spot on such a cold and rainy day, but the star of the show was definitely the huge chicken Tamal. The masa was so fresh and perfect. I'm not sure if they were rajas de chile or jalapeño slices, but they brought in so much flavor. The chicken though... Let me say I was not expecting a whole chicken leg in there. The meat was so juicy and it slipped off the bone. It was perfectly seasoned and delicious on its own. I am so mad at myself that I didn't bring some home for later! The restaurant was quiet when I got there but filled up as I ate. There was a good selection of refreshments in the refrigerator by the cashier. The staff was friendly and helpful. There was a TV on in the main eating area and the establishment was clean. I will be making the drive to pick up some tamales soon, because i can honestly say, this was the best chicken tamal I've had in a VERY long time. And I love my tamales, so that's saying a lot!

I had delivery and it was amazing. Had the chicken pot roast. So homey and clean with generous portions.

The food is SO good here! After looking for Salvadorian food online, I came across this location in Lakewood WA. The gentleman at the counter was very cordial and helpful providing me with information when I was choosing my food (my order was to go this time). I know that my elderly parents will love coming here with me next time. They have traveled the world extensively and love international cuisine. My father is retired US Air Force. The atmosphere here is very comfortable - casual - with booths - which I love!! Very Pleasant Experience ☺️!!! - Thank You!!

I've never had Salvadorian food before, but I'm glad we stopped in. The worker was friendly and helped us decide what to get. Pupusas are delicious! I also got a drink called atole de elote, I can't pronounce it but it was like a corn based horchata but very thick and creamy and absolutely delicious. I wish I had taken pictures!

I order some pupusas and let the owner know the pupusas was not completely cook and she didn't lime it, me I will never go back there, you need to hear what the customer tell you and that is the way we can help them, but in this case she was mad.
