    Pupusa with chicken and pork
    Nick F.

    This was my first time having Salvadorian food. This place was not easy to fine but there is plenty of room inside. I was told by my coworkers that this place was pretty good. I've always heard of pupusas but never had a chance to try them until now. I got myself the pork and chicken with cheese pupusas. If you've never had pupusas before, it's like a stuffed pancake, and two is more than enough for a grown man. What also is crucial to have with it is the pickled cabbage and the tomato-based sauce that comes with it. It may seem like a weird combination but it actually works well and complements the dish. My coworkers also ordered pupusas and they also order fried plantains that came with a sour cream dip and what I only assume was a molé sauce. Turns out that sauce was made from a type of bean; nonetheless, I lost a bet and now I owe my coworker a beer LOL. I would have to try some different dishes before I give my full opinion about Salvadorian food. But as of right now I would call it pretty good.

    Great ! Clean ! Wonderful service ! Wonderful food... hidden jewel , be careful .... it's carb overload but boy is it worth it !

    Free starter tortilla strips and beans with cheese! Yum!!

    Great tasty salvadorean food. Carne asada chorizo plate is the best! The mixed pupusas are excellent. Restaurant is recently remodeled, super clean, great service. Most soots give you stale chips, this place gives a fried thick tortilla strip with beans and salvadorean cheese. I come just for these bad boys! I'm a huge critic but this place gets me right in my tummy! Two thumbs up!

    Bistec encebollado! Bomb.

    This is an established restaurant on Whittier Blvd in Pico Rivera just off the 605 fwy. It's…read morebetter to access the parking lot off Gregg Rd instead of the "main" entrance on Whittier which is easy to miss. Food is reasonably priced and tastes good. Obviously steaks but chicken and seafood are also ok the menu. We did the Sunday brunch for $49 which included bottomless mimosa, champagne, or fruit juices; a starter salad or parfait and a breakfast entree of your choice. I chose the sirloin steak and eggs. Very good value! Our server was excellent! She kept our drinks full and explained everything on the menu! She also went out of her way to meet all the requests from our large group (including our bill splitting request). Ambience is best described as dark. Not spooky or gothic; just no windows and lighting that requires you to use your phones as flashlights. For good food at a reasonable price with great service - highly recommended ; just bring a light with you.

    I've become a regular here for multiple reasons:…read more 1) The ambiance can't be beat! Great music, ambient lighting, classic steakhouse vibes that are hard to find these days. 2) The servers! Tiffany always gives quick, friendly, excellent service at the bar and knows how to make a great cocktail. Her knowledge is extensive and varied, and I've never heard her say she doesn't know how to make a drink, no matter what has been presented to her. Even when they're slammed, Tiffany has never been short or rude or grumpy towards me or any other customer that I've seen. 3) The food: classic, huge portions. I always have enough leftovers for a second meal later in the day or the following day. I love this establishment and hope it remains open for many more years!

    My boyfriend and I came in on a Friday night, so we expected a wait. The hostess took our name and…read moretold us it would be about 20 minutes, so we happily went outside to wait since the lobby is tiny and the staff looked like they were fighting for their lives. As we waited, I started noticing something interesting: two parties who came in after us were seated immediately. Then almost 30 minutes went by. At that point, I poked my head back in and said, "Hey, we put our name down about 30 minutes ago, and I've noticed people coming in and getting seats." Immediately, the hostess who originally helped us said, "Yes, yes... sorry about that. You can choose a table right now." So apparently our table had been available in the Witness Protection Program. To make matters worse, we were seated next to one of the parties that arrived after us, and we got to enjoy the thrilling experience of watching them receive their food before we even ordered. The food itself was good overall. The only miss for me was the mac and cheese, which tasted like KFC mac and cheese that had a passionate encounter with a jar of jalapeño juice. Would I come back? Maybe. The food was decent, but for a first visit, the service definitely left a stronger impression than the meal did.

When we pointed out that we had ordered regular fries, the waitress insisted they didn't even carry regular fries and said she had heard us order home-style fries, even though she had acknowledged our order twice when we placed it. That was frustrating. My husband also ordered a T-bone steak but was served a sirloin instead. As for my meal, I ordered the special omelet, and it was nothing special. It lacked flavor, and the cheese didn't complement the dish. The home-style potatoes were simply sliced potatoes that were overly greasy and dripping with oil. Overall, it was a very disappointing dining experience. I hope the restaurant pays closer attention to order accuracy, food quality, and the details that make for good customer service. Unfortunately, based on this visit, I don't plan on returning.

Although there is parking in the front, it's very limited. We later found there is much more convenient parking in the back, which I definitely recommend using. As soon as you walk in, you can tell it's a family-owned, mom-and-pop restaurant. Even though the dining area is small, it feels warm, welcoming, and comfortable. It also seems to be a favorite among the locals, which is always a good sign. The service was excellent. The staff frequently checked on us, kept our water glasses full, and happily accommodated my fiancée's special request for her meal. The food was fantastic. My fiancée ordered the Wet Burrito without the cheese on top. It came with chips, and even though they were in the sauce, they somehow stayed crispy throughout the meal. She loved every bite. I ordered the chicken and waffles with whipped cream and strawberries. The chicken was fried to perfection--crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and well-seasoned throughout without being overly breaded. The waffles were delicious and paired perfectly with the toppings. We also shared a biscuit with gravy. The biscuit was soft, fluffy, and moist enough that it honestly didn't even need the gravy. That said, the gravy was rich, flavorful, and not overly salty, making it a great complement. Overall, we had a wonderful experience. The food, service, and atmosphere all exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend giving this place a try--and don't forget to park in the back!
