The food is good all the time but I think it's time for them to go down on their egg price.

Okay, look. This place is amazing. If you haven't been, you need to go. Come and eat the Arepa…read more Get the pork belly one. Get the Aleida's sauce on the side. Ask for extra napkins. Go on, I'll wait. See?!?! You're welcome. The Arepas are the most amazing, delicious, gluten free food I ever eaten. And that sauce?? I want to drink it. The cheese in the arepa... oh my. Seriously. Congratulations, you now have a bucket list goal - to try all of the arepas. I am slowly (since I keep trying a new one and then going back to the pork belly, try new one, repeat) but surely working my way through them all. And they're incredible.

My husband and I came here for dinner and we decided to sit outside…read more I wasn't very hungry so I ordered their single taco with al pastor shrimp, which was an extra $2.99 and lime/guac for an extra 50 cents (on top of the single taco, which was $4.50). My husband ordered their burrito, which came with chips and a cheese dip on the side. Their shrimp was good; nothing special. I did ask to try aleida's sauce, which many people liked on yelp, but we liked their green sauce the most! Overall, very cute and colorful restaurant; loved all the decor. The outdoor patio, where we sat, was covered and nice, until it started pouring hard outside. Not a super authentic latin restaurant. No complimentary chips and salsa. My taco wasn't worth more than $5, tbh, and we paid close to $9..given it was shrimp, but we've had much better shrimp tacos elsewhere for less. I wish I had a photo of my poor taco, but I totally forgot to take a picture :/

Mr R made an order in person to go, and lunch was BLISS. I could see out-of-towners getting…read morefrustrated at accessing the location, especially in rush hour. I had a tamal salvadoreña, which reminded me of a Sunday roast dinner with pork instead of beef and wrapped in steamed masa instead of rolls on the table. So tender, delectable. I ordered more but this dish alone can get you through the day, my goodness. My plantain plate was educational comfort food. The plantains were sweet, beans were salty, and the crema just the right hint of sour. Again, this plate alone would make a great meal. Mr R tried three vegetarian pupusas, all of which include cheese--spinach, mushroom, and jalapeño. There was also squash and squash blossom available (I think, menu says loroco) which I REALLY want to try. That lovely curtido/slaw on the side was much appreciated. This was one of those times where I felt I had to remind him more than once to chew, he was shoveling it down so fast in glee. In case you crave some heat, they included a few red and green salsas lovingly packaged in their own bags which I seldom see. Both the red and green were pretty warm, we agreed on that. Start cautiously and increase if needed. Also grabbed a lime jarritos (we're adjusting to Mr R's diagnosis forbidding high fructose corn syrup and fruit juice, so are extra grateful for the choice) which was the exact right flavor to have alongside this table. Definitely want to come try more of this menu.

Some of the best ethnic food you will find in SM. Authentic food, made to order…read more The owner was running the till and kept checking on us to make sure we enjoyed our meal and to offer extra crudo. These are some of the best pupusas I have ever had. And the tamales are top notch.
