The food was fresh & flavorful. The only minor drawback was that the sauce was a bit too runny, which made it slightly difficult to eat.

Latinos are the best: great food with nice portion size, friendly service (even if they were really busy the day I went to). The employees aren't really from El Salvador, I think there's only one. I liked it, would come again :)
