This tiny restaurant, just off the Dunellen central business district, shines as an impeccably maintained star. The colors are the deep cobalt blue and white of the Salvadorean flag, painted neatly across everything, counter to tables, even to the outdoor café umbrellas. Olga and one or more assistants deliver on a satisfying menu of traditional Salvadorean dishes such as pupusas (stuffed corn cakes) and tamales, complemented with a good selection of meat, chicken and fish main dishes. Prices are reasonable and portions are generous. A lunch of Pupusas with a drink will cost about $5, and main dishes are slightly more. It's a great little place for breakfast or lunch.

We ordered the sorullos, chicharron de pollo, and chicharron de cerdo, along with side of rice and beans. The rice, beans, and sorullos, were hot and fresh. But I found the fried chicken to be dry. The fried pork belly had an off taste/aroma to it as pork sometimes does. I've had better for the price.

Now I don't trust people to be truly honest in a setting like a wedding, so I looked for proof. All the food was gone! Gone! So many took some home with them, there's was nothing to store or even throw out. So yeah I would say that past the test. Recommend a visit to eat there, or to cater especially if your event is in Pennsylvania. Your only other choice is to drive food in of this quality from New York itself.

I walked in and two super nice young ladies were making and serving the food. I appreciated that I was greeted right away and my order taken right away. If Yelp had star options for both the food and the service, I definitely would have given them 4 or 5 stars. I almost always go completely overboard when I try a place the first time. I picked up almost $80 worth of takeout so that I could try a little bit of everything. I really, really wanted to love the food here but I didn't. Unfortunately I didn't really find anything that I ordered that flavorful. The food wasn't bad by any means, it just didn't have the delicious flavors that I normally associate with great Puerto Rican food. As I mentioned it was an unbelievably hot day so maybe the cook was having an off day because of that. If I'm ever driving by there, I'd probably give it another chance since it has such great reviews from other people.

The rice had too much soy sauce and the rice was partially undercooked. The Jalea was on the smaller side this time around and had more calamari than anything else. Usually it's a good mix. My husband ordered grilled fish ( which was a filet ) we had to send it back the fish wasn't cooked all the way through. They took the same fish that my husband had removed a small piece before we realized it wasn't cooked thoroughly and cooked it longer and by the time it came back to the table it was almost half the size. True disappointment this time around

My…read moremom lives in the area, and I thought this would be a good place to take her to celebrate her birthday. I ordered the Churrasco Campesino, which was good, I don't remember my mother's and sister's orders, but they really liked their meals as well. I did research some reviews and remembered reading that some people didn't like how the tipping was handled. I forgot to keep this in mind when I paid, I included a tip. When I got home, I reviewed the check because it seemed a little high and realized the tip portion isn't preprinted on the receipt like most restaurants and it was built into the total price. So, I basically left over a 40 percent tip, I should have analyzed the receipt better before paying (this is something to keep in mind). I enjoyed the food and the experience, but the tipping situation may prevent me from returning.

Beautifully decorated for Christmas and such a cozy, festive vibe. The service was excellent, attentive, and friendly. It was a bit loud where we sat directly in the middle and many people were celebrating birthdays so lots of singing. The vibe was so on point! The premium cocktails were on the higher side at $21 each, but they were well-made. We ordered the Picada Grande for only four of us and could not believe the amount of food that came out. We couldn't finish the food. Everything was delicious, and we still left with around 6 pounds of leftovers! A great spot for a fun night out with fantastic food, beautiful ambiance, good entertainment, and great service at a good price! There are vendors selling flowers and framed pictures of you choose to partake. We did and loved the framed pic! Highly recommend checking it out. Great value and good food!
