I've been coming here for years to get their amazing pupusas but decided to sit down for dinner. Between the owners hospitality and the food alone, this will make you want to keep coming. They serve up very authentic Salvadoran food and their prices are extremely reasonable. They have a 2nd location as well which makes it easier for people on the north shore.

One of my favorite go to restaurants, it's pretty close to where I live and I only go weekdays. Weekends it's crazy packed mostly with men day drinking. During the week though it's a cozy place to go eat. Not much to it when you look at it but the food is some of the best Latin food I've eaten, and that's saying a lot since I come from a Central American family. I've tried almost everything and have always enjoyed my meals there. The wait staff is friendly. It's great for just a low key meal.
