The food is quite good, I'm not from El Salvador but I'm Latina & I enjoy almost all the dishes they offer, the pupusas are delicious & the meat is great, definitely on the greasy side but if you don't care about fried stuff this is a good option.

I got some takeout & loved it! The decor in the restaurant was plain but the atmosphere was very lively. The service was very kind & quick. The pupusa itself was delicious, not too greasy & filled well. I asked for extra curtido & salsa & they gave me more than enough.
