“ Incredible flavor & service! Would highly recommend trying out this resturant. Owner was kind & genuine. We will be back : ) ”
“ Food was AMAZING!!! The place is just so cool, very different inside. The only thing that it was a bit pricey but you get what you pay for! Plenty of food and leftovers! ”
“ The interior design is colorful and lively. The food did not disappoint. To start, I got the pork and cheese pupusas and it was amazing. The pickled cabbage and onions along with the salsa took it to the next level. I then indulged in some empanadas and that was great too. The rice and beans were ok, but who's going to a restaurant for spectacular rice and beans anyway. I tried a dish, I've never had before, which was the Baleada and it was decent. Finally I got the steak quesadilla and the steak was tender, juicy and seasoned so well. 9/10 would recommend. This place is a diamond in the rough and the prices are great too. ”
“ Starting with the service, they were very kind they attended me immediately. There’s no wait time and the place is very cozy very quiet very clean. They answer all my questions and they were above and beyond to serve me. The food is fantastic the fish hands down decent fresh fish in the area. Unlike going down to the beach you have to pay 50 for less quality fish. The drink is unbelievable and I have shared the pictures of the menu as of today. 06/22/2025 ”

“ Food was really good. We had the pollo con tajadas, pupusas, and baleada de carne. Will definitely be back. ”
“ We stopped here for a late lunch while in town. The food was authentic and so good. We had queso, sweet plantains, and tostones to share. All 3 were done so well. My husband got steak tacos that had an amazing Verde sauce and were fantastic. I has a vegetarian corn empanada that cane with a pickled red onion side that was phenomenal. Service was great and really enjoyed it. I hate that I forgot to take pictures! ”
