The macarons were very good. $1.50 each (the size of a 50cent coin). They offered two types of flan: tres leche and de coco. I'm not a fan of coconut so I decided to try the three-milk one. It didn't have a milky flavor at all. It was more cheesy than milky or eggy. I was a little disappointed it was how I expected it to taste. They offer a variety of other desserts, come check them out!

Such a delight!…read more Driven by several times but stopped in for breakfast this morning. Great food, great service, amazing desserts and coffee. I know nothing about Columbian food so tried to order something with variety. The pork sausage was great, beans were so flavorful, roasted plantains that tasted like candy, perfect fried egg... Our service was very patient with my lack of Spanish and offered great suggestions. They sell whole bean coffee as well.

We went on a Saturday afternoon and enjoyed the friendly atmosphere and attentive service. Our meal was excellent as it has consistently been, especially since the changes have been made to the restaurant. I want to make sure that I mention the cleanliness of the women's bathroom. This is the second time in a row that I've used it and it is very well maintained. It's large, clean and odorless. It gives me an overall positive feeling about the restaurant, which adds to my comfort when we eat here. We love coming here. The prices are reasonable, the portion sizes are just right, and the servers are attentive and friendly. A great experience!!

The pork rinds were good, and the plantains were sweet, but the sausage lacked the typical chorizo flavor I was expecting. The breakfast was decent, though nothing particularly standout. The Colombian breads we took to go were definitely the highlight of the meal. Service was friendly, and the atmosphere was welcoming. It was a good experience overall, but I'd be curious to try the lunch or dinner menu next time.

The place was pretty full for around 4pm on a Saturday. But, service was quick and friendly. Everything was packaged perfectly for to-go orders. We got all the sauces and toppings for the chicken and papusa. This is never overlooked by me because it's almost a rare treat to get such service. Now for the food- we enjoyed it! I got the roasted and it wasn't a favorite meal by any means but it was done well. It was seasoned right and the chicken wasn't dry. It also helped having sauces to dip and to put on the rice and beans. It was worth the quick trip to grab and go. I'll have to eat in sometime and try some other items.

I also like to pair it with black beans and rice with a side of sweet plantains. You can't go wrong. The bacon wrapped chicken is good too, but keep in mind the bacon is mostly fatty/uncooked. If you are with a group, the family style meal will save you some money. They have 3 variations, some include seafood. I included a photo of the all meat family meal. For desert the flan is outstanding. I highly recommend it. There is a stage for a band, but I have never been here when they had music. When I go it has always been quiet. You can't easily find parking in the back. On nice days, you can even sit outside. They checkout using an iPad so I didn't get a paper receipt. However, they allow you to look over your bill on the iPad prior. They still charge a fee for paying with a credit card.

The restaurant has both takeout and dine in options. There is plenty of seating both in the front and rear of the restaurant. They have all your typical Salvadorean staples like the famous Pupusas as well as yuca con chicharrón. The typical breakfast dishes are also great. You can't go wrong with any of their dishes. However I suggest you dine in and have some fresh made pupusas revueltas. They are basically tortillas stuffed with Mozzarella cheese and grounded pork. You can also get them with just cheese or just pork. For a cold drink try the Horchata, it's made from a grounded down seed. For a hot drink try the Atol de Elote, made from corn.....deliciously smooth and velvety. The bakery has typical cookies and sweet breads, they are all on display for you to pick and choose. The store has candies, chips, medicine, arts and crafts & shirts all imported from El Salvador. If your missing home this place will take you back. If you want the Salvadorean experience than you have come to the right place! The staff is friendly and efficient, place is casual and laid back. Food is cooked fresh so you may wait a little, be patient. If in Charlotte stop by and get a little taste of my country you most definitely will not be disappointed!

También pedimos las baleadas con huevo, crema, frijoles y aguacate, también deliciosas y eran enormes. El agua de melón fue la mejor de las tres que probamos. Definitivamente volvería y recomiendo que lo prueben también. Está medio despacio el servicio pero es porque se llena y están haciendo todo a la orden. Imagino que los dueños son cristianos porque tenían música religiosa jugado . Todo bien amables y atentos .
