    Best breakfast...recommend , and the host are very friendly and service is fast.

    Unjust can't express enough, this place has what all restaurants should have. Food is delicious, service to include the servers is very timely and pleasant to deal with. Price has remain, but for the overall service a few dollars extra is worthwhile.

    They have the best Pupusas in the Valley, by far.

    Traditional Salvadorean Cuisine in the SFV!…read more Our first time trying Salvadorean food at this family owned restaurant in Reseda. Carlos gave us some great recommendations so we ended up trying pupusas for the first time. It's made with a homemade corn dough. It's thicker than a regular corn tortilla and stuffed with ground pork and cheese. They have a variety of fillings. You can add salsa roja, a flavorful tomato-based sauce or habanero sauce. Served with Curtido, a tangy, fermented cabbage slaw. So crispy, cheesy and filling. It came burning hot - I could barely hold it. But, I would definitely order this again! We tried Desayuno Típico, a traditional Salvadoran breakfast, which came with casamiento (beans and rice mixed together), Salvadorean style chorizo, fried plantains, 2 eggs, avocado, fresh cheese and Salvadorean style sour cream and homemade corn tortillas. Tip: Bring Cash. 4% to use credit card

    Came to this little whole in the wall a while back and saw the high rating and had to check it out…read more The food was delicious they Salvadorian chorizo with the crema and plantain was delicious, had to get a pupusa on the side just to satisfy the craving and it did not fail to impress. The servers welcomed you in like family and treated you as such. I felt very welcomed and would definitely come back for another breakfast combo it was delicious and for 15 dollars. Not bad at all.

    If you're craving authentic Salvadoran comfort food made with love -- this is the spot!…read more The pupusas were perfection -- handmade, and stuffed generously with rich, savory fillings. I got the beans one, soooo good! Crispy on the outside, soft and melty on the inside... chef's kiss. Paired with the fresh cabbage salad and salsa, every bite was full of flavor. The pan con pollo was just as amazing -- tender, well-seasoned chicken with fresh veggies and bread that soaked up all the goodness. So hearty and satisfying! And don't skip the atole -- warm, comforting, and perfectly balanced. It felt like a hug in a cup You can truly taste the authenticity and care in every dish. Portions are generous, prices are great, and the overall vibe is welcoming and comforting -- like a home-cooked meal away from home. 10/10 Highly recommend if you love flavorful, authentic Salvadoran food.

The staff was also very friendly and answered all my questions without any issues when I called before placing the order. They have a lot of items on their menu that I can't wait to go back and try as well. We'll definitely be ordering from here again.
