Very authentic Salvaorian food, great service, and good atmosphere. My wife is Salvadorian, and we love the Pupusas, Yucatan with Chicarones.
This is my kind of place. I was thrilled with the platter getting samples of all of their best food. I love the flavor of this kind of food so I am biased. I went for lunch and my two friends were also very happy with what they ordered. I had enough food for an entire other meal which I liked so much. I ate it for dinner. Great place.
I had the carne guisada. It was good. Service was prompt and the restaurant was cleanly. I will be returning!
Delicious food! My favorites are the "enchiladas" and the shrimp cocktail (ceviche?) "Coctel de Camarones." Yum! When I go in to order takeout I feel the service is extremely slow and not very friendly, even though I always tip well. I don't really get it. I feel judged by the servers in a weird way but the food is worth it. Maybe it's just me.
The meal and service wr had wad wonderful! I've never had enchiladas like this. The egg and beets on top made a perfect bite.
The pupusas are SO good- had the bean and cheese, and the shrimp and cheese. Enjoyed them with a glass of the Jamica (hibiscus) juice which was refreshing- tropical, and not too sweet. My partner enjoyed the breakfast of scrambled eggs with chorizo (El Guanaco). The staff is great. My only suggestion would be that they pick one soundtrack- the music is loud, and there's the sound from a aTv program playing over it, which sort of set my ears on edge/ might opt for takeout next time.
I can't say I've ever had this type of food and it was amazing! It felt like a home cooked meal. So much flavor. Lots of choices. It's so great to have a small business restaurant in a sea of chains in Johnson County. It got somewhat busy during dinner but they kept the service flowing.
I've been learning more about the culture and food of El Salvador and my boyfriend said he would rate this place 4.8/5 compared to food back in his country! I was shown the proper way to eat pupusas, which is tearing a piece of the pupusa, scooping some of the pickled cabbage with it, then dipping it in the red sauce! Our favorite was the fried tilapia. My goodness we did a number on that one. It was crispy and seasoned really well while still moist inside. I am not sure what kind of rice came along with it but it was really good! Least favorite was prob the shrimp cocktail. Had this weird mayonnaise taste to it? No idea but I was not impressed. I just picked out and ate the shrimp only.
