This place is awesome! Food made with love, the most important ingredient. I’ve had takeout a few times now and loved every bite. The first time I was sick and needed soup it was perfect and huge! The sopa de pollo has a whole chicken quarter in it and comes with rice and tortillas. The prices are fabulous and everything is made from scratch. Next time I’m going to eat there and try the whole fried tilapia.

The street outside may look a bit uninviting, but don't let that stop you from giving this place a try. The service was warm and welcoming, and the Carne Guisada I had was absolutely delicious.

The staff were so friendly and welcoming! I was one of those customers asking several questions on the food and they were helpful and patient. The passion fruit drink was amazing!

We've gone a few times over the past months, and encourage you to give them a try for well priced, truly home style Honduran/Salvadorian cooking. The place is family friendly, with gracious service. Immaculate, and it's definitely like food you have in someone's home.

Don’t let the outside fool you. If you want a lovely experience with Authentic Honduran/El Salvadoran food ven aqui!! (Come here). The atmosphere is fantastic with the blue and white interior and wooden floor you truly could not ask for better. Breakfast for 2 just 40 with the addition of chicharon to the menu’s breakfast. Keiry was our server and fantastic. She greeted us with a smile had coffee to the table in minutes, our order was correct (and delicious) and she maintained attention without hovering over us. It is hard to believe how many tables are available considering the quality of the food, attention of the staff, and value for the money. Get here and get you a bite before the word gets out on how good it is.

Amazing family owned business. Delicious Salvadoran food. Friendly staff. Great atmosphere. It is a hidden gem that I love bringing people to. I would host a special event here. The food is welcoming to all pallets and tastes. It is criminally inexpensive for the value you get in terms of fresh and delicious food. They have their own off-street parking lot too. Love it!

Delicious food! Chicken soup broth is very flavorful, the chicken juicy and tender and a healthy serving of rice and bread to go with it. I will return and dine in next time as the interior decor was very welcoming!
