I stopped in to watch the Brazil vs. Morocco game and was so glad I did. Coming to a family-owned place like this was a completely different, better experience compared to the stressful and superficial vibe of major chains. The vegetarian super burrito was meticulously prepared and absolutely delicious. Having lived abroad for a long time, being able to enjoy authentic food like this in our area feels like a real privilege. The atmosphere was incredibly family-friendly, and the service was just as great as the food. I truly hope this wonderful local business continues to thrive--they deserve it! Thank you!

Now, I know food costs are up, but I ordered beef soup, 32 Oz, that cost me $27.00. Almost $30.00 for soup that has three or four small pieces of meat. The majority of food in this 32Oz container is broth and vegetables. For that reason, I give them a one star. However, to be clear, their food is good. I'm back to edit my review in the interest of being fair to the restaurant and their staff. The beef soup I ordered is amazing and quite frankly, it's the best I've ever had. They also provided more than three or four pieces of beef. However, almost $30.00 for beef stew is high.

Since I was in the area today, I finally went in to get my chicken tamal (if you're not familiar with Salvadorean tamales, they're sooo worth a try! They're wrapped in banana leaves instead of corn and are much more soft and moist). These were $6/tamal. Kinda pricey but they are a bit bigger than most-however the size is moreso due to the amount of masa to meat ratio, which I don't mind since I do love the masa parts. I do wish their chicken was either more shredded or more flavored since some bites of chicken were on the dry side. The bites that wern't so dry were delicious though! Looking at their pics/reviews now it seems other people have tried other kinds of tamales, but I only saw one option on the menu so that's what I went with. All in all, not my absolute favorite tamales, but it hits the spot.

I have curious about pupusa after watching several YouTube video reviews. Although I have seen…read morerestaurants offering them for as so long as I can remember I must admit I have never had any. So today was my day for an adventure. I found this El Salvador Restaurant nearby has decent review albeit not many though. It looked clean and tidy. Walking in around 11:45 am to an empty dimly lit dining, a lady behind the counter greeted me and told to sit anywhere. It was warm with no air circulating as the ceiling fans weren't turned on. I mentioned to her it was my first time having pupusa so she patiently pointed several options. Complimentary chips and salsa were served. I thought the salad needed something to give it kick. I chose lunch #1 that consists of 2 pupusa, plantains, red bed beans and sour cream; separately ordered a lemonade. The drink came short afterwards. It was lemony slightly sweet. My plate came hot as it should and the accompanying coleslaw and red sauce were brought over as well. Pickled coleslaw and red sauce were added to the top of my first pupusa which as the cheese a beans. It was too hot to hold by hand so I ate it with knife and fork. It was definitely something g I never had before. A little hot sauce helped. I wish the doughy covering wasn't so overwhelming as I would appreciate the filling much more. It was the same experience for the second pupusa that was the pork, cheese and beans. Finally the fried plantains, I haven't grown to appreciate at this point and this example didn't improve my opinion, I'm hate to admit. I wasn't sure how to apply the red beans and sour cream so I dipped the plantains in them. I guess I need some guidance. On this initial visit, overall, it definitely was a good experience, service was pleasant, food was good though not sure if it was a great representation of this particular good. But I felt it was a good experience and I'm quite open to trying other dishes here.

The décor and hood are nothing fancy, but the food is well worth the trip.

There's actually plenty of seats inside for dine-in, but I think I've seen more take-out orders than people dining in. If dining in, I've always ordered at the register and paid first. But I've seen a few El Salvadoran customers eat then pay when they were done, so I think they get a different level of service. No big to me, just an observation. Agua Fresca ($4ish/3.5*) I saw a large glass jug up by the register that looked like a melon agua fresca. I order one but was told it was a mixed fruit version. I'm down tried it anyways. Sure there were a good amount of shredded cantaloupe which gave its summery orange hue. But there were also chunks of apple and maybe orange, so it was definitely fruity like a homemade punch. Too sweet for me tho, as I only sipped a third of it there with my meal. I brought the rest home and diluted it with more filtered water and I was able to stretch it out whilst making it more refreshing. Pupusas ($5ish/4*) I had these twice, one being a revuletas (mixed) and another time with cheese and chicharone. They are quite petite, so 1 for an app is good while 2-3 for a meal would be required. Their masa mix is nice and soft, but they don't griddle it enough for my preference. I like em well browned maybe even slightly charred on the exterior. Here they barely get them browned, so kinda like a medium rare pupusa. Lol. One time it was nice and browned but another time it was pretty pale, so it even looked kinda raw, but it wasn't. The fillings are solid, especially the ones with cheese in the middle. Their curtido and thin tomato salsa is spot on authentic, great crunch with good acidity and bold hits of oregano. So good with the warm pupusas. Platanos Fritos ($6/3.5*) Fried very ripe plantains, so the plantains are quite sweet and soft/mushy. I like bites of this to go with my entree as I like the rotating hits of savory with sweet. Very oily tho. Menudo/Sopa de Pata ($17/4.5*) Perfectly simmered tripe that were so tender and silky which I love. The pata was just 1 small piece, not crazy tender, still had some bite to it. I still love the collagen filled bites, very ethnic eating which is quite natural to me. I think I actually got the hybrid of menudo with their Sopa de Pata, cuz even tho I got a good dose of tender tripe, the broth was white-ish (no red chiles) and there were lots of veggies like sliced zuccini, cabbage, carrots, yucca and corn. Those are definitely not usually part of the menudo definition, but I welcome such veggies in a rich protein meal. I loved this bowl, with a touch more dried chiles and a squeeze of lemon, with bites of fresh thick warm corn tortillas. So filling and so satisfying. I still want to try an El Salvadoran breakfast plate and maybe a carne guisada (stewed beef) platter, so I'm sure I'll be back. Yeah buddy!

Very solid taqueria featuring some of the best pupusas in the area…read more Today I had a pupusa revuelta (cheese, chicharrón, and beans) and another with carne asada and cheese. Both are hand-made to order with fresh masa and come out so hot you're gonna want to let them sit for a minute before digging in, if you can restrain yourself. The revuelta pupusa has a soft and flavorful filling that comes together kind of like cheesy frijoles charros. It's kind of the classic pupusa filling and I think for good reason. The smooth and well-mixed filling ensure every bite has masa, each element of the filling, and ideally a healthy pile of curtido and salsa. The asada pupusa is a little bit more of a novelty, but the asada itself is solid and I like the variety of having different feelings to work with. If this is your first time here, I recommend going with the asada. My only critique of these pupusas, which is a critique of pupusas I have in general, is that they could use a little more filling, particularly around the edges where the bites can be kind of masa heavy. Pro tips: they just got kiosks for ordering and you won't see a pupusa with asada on there as an option, but you can do so if you order at the register. By default, pupusas come with a traditional thin tomato sauce that isn't spicy, but I always ask them for the salsa they bring out when you get chips instead. It's chunkier, spicier, and slightly more acidic and I think it pairs better with the pupusas. I ask for this and plenty of curtido when I order takeout from here.
