Muy rica la sopa de gallina recién preparada! El ambiente no es muy bueno pero tolerable para un rápido pick up de comida!
Absolutely fantastic tacos! Authentic and delicious. I ordered for my employees to thank them for all of their hard work during this crazy COVID time with Cinco de Mayo tacos. Everyone loved them! Beautiful sauce and guacamole- I highly recommend!
This is a warm familiar type hangout for local El Salvadorans and either upbeat Spanish music is playing, or a soccer game is on the many tvs. There are varieties of pupusas, which are hand pies or enclosed hamburgers?, made from tortilla dough, and filled with various meat, cheese or vegetable combinations and pan fried. Horchata is a rice milk drink heavily sweetened and flavored with cinnamon and nutmeg. Delicious but very very sweet and they serve it in 16 oz glasses. I had a chicken tamale, which had large chunks of chicken inside and the tamale dough (masa) was much smoother and less dense than traditional Mexican tamales. It didn't have the strong corn flavor either, but I enjoyed it. The sopa con pollo - chicken soup was delicious. There was a big chunk of corn, zucchini, onions, carrot, a huge grilled jalapeño and several of yucca which is close to a firm potato in texture but more fibrous, and the flavor is mild but not earthy like potatoes. There was some sort of broken spaghetti pasta in the soup also. The soup came with two big pieces of crisp pan fried chicken ( one of the biggest chicken legs I've seen in ages) on the side, a chunk of lime and two thick, fresh grilled flour tortillas. They were welcoming and helpful, tho English is somewhat limited. A definite return for pupusas and that wonderful soup.
MAS + A (PLUS) = MASA LUNA! Woah! So I have work next to this place for over 3 years and have never been. I can't for the life of me think of why! So I went on Friday! Such a gem! Great food for a reasonable price. I had a chicken tamale and the mixed fajitas. I got my food to go so I don't know anything about the service but I do know that the food was was absolutely delicious! Boom goes the dynamite! GO!
This place is delicious! A hidden gem! Just be aware that they don't speak English very well. To me, that is a good thing because that means there's a good chance the food will be really authentic. I had to pull out my phone and show my server a picture because she didn't understand the English word I was saying. It was no problem for me though. The only reason they didn't get 5 stars is because they were out of what I wanted. I then tried ordering a second dish, but they didn't have that either. Finally found something they had on the third try. Whatever I picked (#47) was delicious and I'm really glad I got it. Definitely check this place out.
