Lovely place, the food is delicious & very affordable. (FYI this review was written when Iris specialized in Salvadoran pupusas. The restaurant switched owners since then & is now a Mexican restaurant that I haven't tried.)

I had walked by this place a dozen times & went in on a whim not sure what to expect. I got the Iris Special - a filling plate with eggs, pupusa, beans, plantain, & sausage. It was was perfectly cooked, cohesive, & tasty, particularly the pupusa & beans. Will try the breakfast next time!

Dommage. Avant c'était une pupuseria & maintenant ce ne l'est plus. Seulement le matin ils offrent des pupusas. Expérience moyenne. Repas moyen.
