I can only speak for a small part of the extensive menu but the food is wonderful- traditional recipes done well.
The tacos are delicious, especially tongue. The pupusas are popular for a reason, and their tamales are fair. There's a lot of parking shared by all the other businesses in the shopping center. Waitresses are very friendly!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Oct 27, 2017Previous reviewI can only speak for a small part of the extensive menu but the food is wonderful- traditional recipes done well.

Terrible food service. Employees and manager are incompetent. They dont know how to run a business. Drunk people are here all day since the morning. I would never recommend anybody to come for over price and bad quality food. Lots of better restaurant next to them

This place was a little hard to find due to the fact that you can't see it from the street. You have to park and walk to the stores/restaurants that are in the central part of the shopping center. This place looked like it was new when I had tried it. They had a open sign up and no one was inside but the workers (I came at 11ish am during lunch).
The photos really helped me decide what to choose. They don't have great descriptions if you like knowing everything that is in the dish- but they do have a basic description in english under the pictures. I got a some tacos and a cheese bean wrap burrito with a coke!
I really enjoyed the taco's (that were packaged to go). They tasted fresh and included a lime with fresh cilantro and some diced onions. The burrito cheese bean wrap was kind of soggy after travel so I didn't really enjoy it. The coke was super yummy - I don't know what it is about coke in a glass bottle that really pairs nicely with mexican and el Salvadorian food!
The inside of the restaurant was very aesthetically appealing. It looked like they re-did the entire place with three different themed areas. Family dinning, main room dinning and a tiki bar on the other side. I think this place does a fair amount of night life as there were lots of pre-strung lights throughout and a disco ball plus speaker systems. If in the area, I would definitely try this place again!Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Ava B.New York, NY95978Aug 24, 2021
Bizarre experience. Walked in with some friends and wasn't greeted at all so we came to the counter. I think this meant that they thought we wanted to order carry out so we never received menus to look at and instead were trying to read off a broken TV displaying the menu but the options were rotating too fast. While we were trying to figure out what to order the women at the front started ignoring us and when we were ready it took around fifteen minutes for them to come out again.
The tortilla chips that we got with our guac to share were straight Tostitos. Expected better. My friend enjoyed her carne asada tacos but as a pescatarian one of the only options was a bean and cheese pupusa which was okay at best. It was super salty and a bit burnt and overall not worth it.Helpful 2Thanks 1Love this 0Oh no 0 - Njeri J.Washington, DC164488Dec 2, 2022
Delicious & fresh every time!! I always call in my order and it's always ready. Love the service and the food. I have had a couple things and everything is always good. The chicken nachos are so filling it's my guilty pleasure. The tacos are flavorful and so is the Camarones a la crema. When it's in season the mangonadas are also yummy. Can't wait to come back soon!

I stopped by for tacos and left with steak and cheese instead. Why? Because I cannot find the tacos on the menu. Silly me.
Let's get to the good part of the 5 stars. Steak and Cheese with fries came to 7 bucks + tax. The sandwich is huge, sloppy, veggies falling off, melted cheese on nice portion of meat.
I enjoyed my lunch. It is a good day.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Eiza G.Woodbridge, VA01Mar 8, 2022
I came in at 9:10they don't close till 10:30 they said the cook had to go home Cuh they had stayed there all day once they said we could order they exclusively said they couldn't make certain dishes when we were 1 hour 30 min before we came in the lady at the front who was at the customer service she was was pale and had black pants said we could not order because they were closing I asked them why they haven't changed the time on the hour she said it's been like that for 3 years it's not my fault your business is out of order and messy those 2 cooks couldn't even cook 2 meals and a drink and there was 4 of you guys that is embarrassing this place is dirty once I stepped in there was stuff all over the floor did not say anything due to the fact that we should not judge a book by it's cover but this store should be closed down immediately if you cannot give service then why are you open never come here again

This is a hole in the wall restaurant with decent authentic food. There are pictures of their menu in the photo section. The preparation of the food is on point. My children really enjoyed the tacos. Their Lomo Saltado has the same flavor but the fries were a bit soggy. Still overall we definitely expect to be back for the authentic tacos and to try more of their menu.

Wanted to try something new and the reviews were good. Walked in and the music was very loud. So loud that myself and the women behind the counter were having trouble hearing each other.
They do have the menus in English and Spanish which was nice.
The women behind the counter was some what helpful. I ordered three steak tacos to go. Waited at the bar for my order. When the women came out she handed me my order without saying a word or even looking at me. The tacos were good. Wasn't completely impressed with the place, but I will give the place another shot.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0
