I was sad when the last restaurant in this location closed, but this place is excellent too! The food is authentic, cheap, really tasty and the portions are big enough for leftovers! The menu is in spanish, but don't worry if you don't...Read More

We ordered two chimichangas. One chicken one beef. Both packed. Both meals came with rice and a salad. The portions for both meals are definitely well worth the price. We were satisfied …

First time there and it was delicious! The menu is loaded with good Mexican and Salvadorian favorites. We are new to the Salvadorian food so we need to try more. As for Mexican cuisine, we are from the Southwest and it is on point.

This is easily the best Mexican food I've had since I was stationed in Southern California near San Diego. 10/10 would recommend. My chimichanga was $12 and I would have felt like I got my money's worth if it was $24.
