The most fantastic, fresh, and wholesome meals and baked goods come from this restaurant. From the moment you sit down you’re welcomed and cared for like family with a plate of mini tortillas and beans to dip. We ordered the pupusa special (2 pupusas with rice, beans, and curtido.) with fresh Jamaica. Hard to overstate the care that went into these enormous savory pupusas. I got the veggie pupusa and the bean and cheese pupusas I added loroco to each one. Our server read back our order and she was careful to honor small requests. There are so many reasons why the thoughtful touches of these dishes were delicious. The veggie pupusa had vegetables that had been pre-charred so there was a mix of freshness and smokiness to the flavors. The generous portion of curtido was served in a glass with tongs and it had a lovely but not-too-spicy kick of jalapeños. If you like spicy, you can ask for their hot sauce which is scratch made, in house. When you receive the bill they have homemade candies on tiny spoons like a lollipop. I can’t say enough about the generosity of this restaurant, they are truly serving love with every bite. I can’t wait to return!

Had been a few years since I initially went and went there again recently. It’s a good Guatemalan and Salvadoran restaurant. I had the Desayuno Chapin, wasn’t bad asked for sunny side up but they ended up over easy, chorizo wasn’t bad; the platanos fritos con crema, frijoles revueltos with the queso fresco were good. My lil one enjoyed the kids pupusa meal that has 2 of them with apple slices, frijoles and rice. The agua frescas were good had the Jamaica and Tamarindo. Instead of chips was given small tortillas with frijoles as appetizer. Would go again and try their other melas for lunch or dinner, went for a brunch meal this time around. Definitely check this place out and support your local Latin American restaurant!

I absolutely love this place. The menu is Guatemalan, Salvadorian and Mexican food. Their specialty is traditional Guatemala food. They have all sorts of traditional foods. Including platanos Fritos, empanadas, desayunos typicos, pepian, tortillas hecha a Mano, yucca frita, pastelitos and tamales de chipilin. It just hits me in all my Central American spots! Specially the atol de elote! In store there is also a mini bakery where you can buy bolio and Guatemalan bread. The atmosphere is great, very traditional. The ladies here are very nice, and are bilingual. Please come try out this place, you won't regret it!
