I will say this was a rare occurrence - eating in the restaurant (I was forced to go with the fam- let me hear it for my latinx peeps!) - but tbh, 1/1/21 started off cool & rainy & the meal made it *worth* it. There are not MANY people I know that truly enjoy tripe but I LOVE it & always have (cmon peopleee. let's get cultured ). If you want an authentic & healthy Latin American meal, this will do the trick. The soup packs a punch of full but soft flavors. I could have done with a LOT more tripe, though the beef bone was a PLUUUS. There are also a TONNNNN of veggies: cooked zucchini, corn, & big chucks of carrots & cabbage. Dish comes with rice on the side, as shown, & three corn tortillas. The zucchini & the carrots I could do without but I won't knock it for being healthy! Huge serving too, where I thought I wasnt gonna finish, but... I did. It comes with a lime on the side, which I don't usually to my ~sopas~ unless it's fish based, but it did the trick this time around.

That honestly should have been my sign to leave. I still ordered a baleada, and it was extremely disappointing. It was so greasy it felt like oil had been poured all over it. I couldn't even get through two bites. Save your time and money. This restaurant is not worth it.

We visited on a weekday morning around lunchtime and were glad they were still serving breakfast…read more The restaurant is somewhat small but the ambiance felt home-y and I liked that customers included regulars and those just checking out the place, like myself. Our waitress was nice and answered questions we had about different entrees. Given this is a Central American fare type of place, I stuck with a simple Latin breakfast:eggs, beans, plantains, sausage, and crema. It was very good but not spectacular. Overall, we were happy with the food and quality.

I enjoyed how crispy the fries were and you need to ask for whatever that green sauce they have is! The sauce had a little kick, but made the food so much better. I was not a big fan of the beans, I rather have them less watery but everything else was great. I will be checking this place out again in the future.

I had the second one later that day and microwaved it for about a minute- taste just as good. Love the cheese and pork mix. Perfect blend. If I lived close by I would go again!

It came out like a meal for 2 lol. Super heavy. I wished there was a bit more salt in it, but it was still good.

The restaurant looks like a cozy hole-in-the-wall restaurant, so it was a very casual atmosphere. I ordered a Guatemalan-Style Chicken Tamal and a Chicken Pupusa with a Fruit Juice Drink (Ensalada de Fruta). The Fruit Juice Drink was full of cubed apples and was on the sweeter side, but it was refreshing for sure. Now onto the food... Guatemalan Chicken Tamal - This has to be one of the best tamals I have ever had! I am used to the Mexican tamales that are on the dryer side, but their tamal masa was gelatinous almost like a custard, and there were big pieces of chicken meat inside. And the plus side is that the chicken was 99% meat and 1% fat! They did not skimp on the meat in this one. Chicken Pupusa - I am used to greasy pupusas, but their pupusa was significantly less greasy, and that is a HUGE plus. Also, these pupusas were less than $5.00 each and came with a huge side of cabbage. The cheese-to-meat ratio inside was also pretty decent; I would say 60% cheese, 40% meat. My husband absolutely loved all the pupusas he ordered and even bought some to take home to our family. We were served by one of the owners who was very sweet and spoke to my husband in Spanish and me in English; this means a lot to me because in other places, I tend to be ignored while they speak Spanish to just my husband. When we are back in Virginia, this will be one of our go-to spots for Salvadorean food. We are used to pupusas being over $5, but these pupusas were less greasy AND much more affordable.
