"Best freaking pupas con lorocho I’ve had in a long time, great central and South American foods and the market has all the specialty items I can’t find in the American or Mexican markets around! 10/10 I’ll be back all the time weather to eat or buy products to cook or clean!"

"The little restaurant has the best Mexican/Salvadoran food I have had. It is authentic, freshly made and delicious. The abuela cooking in here knows what she is doing. If you are someone looking for the same old Mexican food you find everywhere else go elsewhere. But if you want some rightly seasoned, crispy, delicious carnitas this is your spot. They are generous with their portion sizes and friendly. The wait times are long and food is fresh. I like it when it’s too hot to put in your mouth. The carnitas taco and Loroco and revueltas de chicharron are amazing. But you can’t go wrong with the burritos, caldos or seafood. All my friends that love rightly seasoned food love it here. I hope they never change they truly are a hidden gem like another reviewer posted. This lady knows what she is doing! The guy crying his meat was burnt and overly salted should stick to McDonald’s. Edit: chicken mole and anything carnitas is delicious!"
