“ Great Salvadorian Food, higher prices than most places but it's worthy. ”
“ I love this restaurant!!!!!!!!!!!! Anything is very good. I especially love seafood soup! ”
“ Been going here since I was a baby. Best salpicón I've tried yet. Also if it's the right season their panes con pollo are to die for. The service is very nice, Veronica is patient even with my senior parents who are nearly unmanageable lol ”
“ Great customer services Jen.was very helpful and friendly! ”
“ this was my go-to place when i lived in ktown. Best caldo de gallina & pupusas are top tier. All other food is pretty good too. Only giving 4 starts because there’s a female waiter that whenever she serves us, she’s brought the wrong order, spilled the drink while putting it down but doesn’t care to clean it up, and almost hit my grandma in the face with a plate… All other servers are really nice and positive so overall great place for Salvi food. ”
