Je suis très déçu de mon expérience dans ce restaurant aujourd’hui… la cuisine était bonne mais le service désorganisé & le serveur peu courtois dans son attitude.
C’est un restaurant que je connais depuis un bon moment, par contre je ne suis pas certain de vouloir retourner…

Le serveur fait erreur sur la facture & parle avec les employers au lieu de prendre le temps avec les clients ! La comida es excellante al menos !

Me gustaba mucho este restaurante, toda mi familia y yo hibamos a comer, pero desde hace algunos meses todo cambió, cuando fui la última vez me decepcionaron, las pupusas bien pequeñas y no tenían nada de relleno, era solo tortilla , y las pupusas de queso, todo el queso salido de la pupusa y quemado.

Très bon restaurant! Cuisine très goûteuse & ambiance agréable! Tout ce que j'ai mangé était très bon & c'est plaisant de goûter à des plats salvadoriens (si vous y allez, les pupusas sont incontournables!). Bref, j'y retournerai, c'est certain!
