This place is great! Very friendly and kind staff. The food was excellent! We loved the tacos, but all other dishes we've tried are wonderful. Both times we went, the owner/staff gave us some extra complimentary food to try. I'd highly recommend this place.

Great pupusas and the tacos!! Fresh and good quality! Empanadas were good too. The hibiscus tea was just slightly sweet and that was perfect.

Their steak tacos are amazing. The only thing I hate is that I didn't discover this place sooner. Their tacos are in the running for the best I've ever had. No exaggeration. Best get some crema on the side.
