I’m salvadorian and when I saw the menu items I was overjoyed as I don’t get to eat Salvadorian food regularly as I did in my childhood. We’ve been here twice. The first time, I will say the service took around 25 minutes.
The shrimp cocktail is super good. I like how generous they are with the shrimp. Both times I’ve gotten like 8-9 pieces. The second time they did tell me they were out of avocados but sadly they didn’t put the shrimp on top like they did the first time.
The pupusas are good. Not as good as the ones from El Salvador but honestly, haven’t come across any in the valley that compare. I like how they aren’t greasy and outrageously huge. The first time it was less doughy than the second. You’ll have to keep asking for curtido if you like a lot of it. I find they don’t give you enough. We ordered like 4. Always happy to see queso con loroco on the menu. It’s my favorite.
Chicken tacos. According to husband good.
Breakfast plate. He wasn’t a fan. The picture on the menu pictures 3 eggs. He only got 2. He did not want to eat the crema.
Ok the meats. It’s a hard pass. The salpicon is hard but the rice is perfect. So freaking good!!
The meat special plate. She recommended it over the fish filet plate. Should have gone with the fish. The meat was hard and mostly fat. The plátanos were too mushy and greasy. The cheese was ok. The casamiento was not good. The rice and beans were hard and over fried/cooked.
Overall the service was really good. They gave us beans and nachos for our baby to eat while we waited. They would stop several times to ask if we needed anything.
One last call out I had that bothered me was that the server gave my husband my pupusa on his plate. He got like 2 big bites out of it. She came and was like. “Darn I messed up. Gave him yours. But he only got
One bite and he is your husband right?” Honestly I should have spoken up and gotten a new one and they should have let us kept the one they messed up on and still given my husband his.
The place is kind of empty for the most part. They play salvadorian oldies which is cool.
