    I think I found a new favorite! It's a nice Salvadorean restaurant with a full bar. Tucked away in a shopping center whilst offering table service. Inside has a nice theme to it with booths and tables for seating. To the left is additional seating and a full bar you can sit at and also eat! I started off with a mango margarita and passion fruit agua fresca. The margarita seem to taste mostly of sweet n sour mix. I didn't like that very much. But the agua fresca was delightfully delicious and refreshing. The Pollo Guisado blew my socks off. Perfectly stewed chicken that falls right off the bone. It was stewed in a light tomato like sauce. I enjoyed the fried plantains, simple and lightly crisp. Perfect execution of fluffy rice and the pinto beans were good with the perfect amount of salt. My daughter was boring today and got the kids menu mozzarella sticks with fries. It was a nice size cheese stick and plentiful cheesy. We both enjoyed our meals. We received good service, had a bilingual server and ate some delicious food! Must try!

    How I got my food. Just an empty chicken bone.

    Im so angry with this place. Another restaurant that thinks they can rip off doordash orders with no repercussion. They gave me old hard chicken and a chicken leg that was just a bone no meat on it at all. Unbelievable.

    Delicious food... dine in or carry out. Tables are kept apart . Had fish, rice. Slaw. Yucca. And chiccharon

    Omg the shrimp soup is a must have. If you don't try this I feel sorry for you!

    The food is fresh, the drinks are good and I love the ice cream shop next door. The vibe is always good and the bar tenders are pleasant. The weekends are super busy but exciting if you want to have a fun night out. I highly recommend

    Tucked away in a big, run-down strip mall. I've driven past dozens of times and never noticed it…read more There's really no sign you can see from very far away. It is next to a plasma place and what might be a market. If you're coming off Cleveland or 161, look for the car repair place and it is straight back from there. They said it's been here two years, but in the three months I've been a fairly regular visitor to the area I've never noticed it. Step inside, and it's nothing fancy, but with lots of comfy booths and tables. A drink cooler off to the side with Mexican Coke, etc. Small menu with the basics (I should have taken a picture of that.) Beef, shrimp, fried plantains, etc. Some breakfast items and pastries. I went with carne azada. Strips of beef, marinated and grilled, and probably the best I've had. Sided with a mix of rice and beans that was pretty good, pico de gallo, excellent guacamole, a roasted pepper, and perfect, hot and fresh corn tortillas. Wrap it all up or eat it individually, it's great either way. Great food, at a decent price, in a non-descript place. Service was stand-offish at first for someone clearly not a regular, but as I wolfed down the food and smiled, they warmed up. I'll be back.

    The menus do not have English descriptions, so have your phone out so you can use google translate…read more The food was really good, the service friendly, and the place was clean though well worn.
