    We're from out of town and where we live is really really rare to find a good salvadorian restaurant specially one that has a traditional flavor but WE FOUND IT AND IT WAS SO WORTH IT. Their torrejas were the best and their pupusas were so delicious I really recommend this place, plus it was so cheap!

    Although the food is amazing and the venue is nice and clean, their promise to be open from a certain time to a certain time as posted on Yelp and on the outside of their door is disappointing. I've visited twice and twice they have been closed. Not a reliable place to visit.

    If your coming in for fri d plantain STOP! Don't come here ... First of all it was hard to get parking. Luckily Sunday's the street parking is free.
    We got our drinks. The fruit salad drink was ok.
    Pupusas with beans are cheese .. hardly any beans and the cheese my children described as gummy it was way too much cheese ! The cabbage that is eaten with the pupusas was plain my 6 year old daughter could have made it lol... no flavor at ALL totally disappointed!

    Fried plantain hard and dry inside never had I ate something like this before, ate the rice and beans with cream. Not coming here again. Period .
    Customer services not the greatest.  To explain the wait time . She said next time you can call in your order so you won't have to wait !
    Crazy.

    This place is great! It's super clean, the food is authentic and so delicious! Nothing we ordered and we ordered pupusas recueltas and loroco, empanadas de leche, caldo de mar, pastelitos, orchata, plato de guineos confrijoles, arroz, y tamal de elote were disappointing. Everythimg was delicious and perfectly made.I found my new Salvi restaurant!
