Excellent restaurant salvadorien! J'y suis allée plusieurs fois, en famille & entre amis. Le service est toujours chaleureux, les serveurs sont d'une grande gentillesse & te reconnaissent après quelques visites. La nourriture est délicieuse (pupusas, plats de viande, déjeuners) & les prix sont très honnêtes. Je recommande vivement!
