      Small cozy spot. Loud music at night.
      Food was sooo good.
      I ordered the lobster, shrimp and steak dinner. The plate was huge! Three people could have eaten from one order.

      One cold December night, my mom was craving fried fish. I was frantically searching until I found this spot. This restaurant is great for either delivery or pickup. The fried red snapper was delicious!

      This has become my local go to restaurant ever since they opened a few months back. The menu selection is based on popular Salvadoran & Latin sea food dishes, which I my self have given many a try. The quality of the dishes I have tried were simply amazing all tasting delicious ,fresh and cooked to perfection. Prices are well fitted to the very generous size and quality of the dishes. They even give complimentary chips and salsa with every dish, which is a plus. As for drinks they offer a good selection of natural juices, milk shakes and beers. They also offer a variety of sodas and wine. My go to is the ensalada de frutas, which is a delicious mixture of fruits with juice that you eat and drink at the same time. The waiters are very caring and friendly. The restaurant itself has a very comforting feel to it, the interior is very nice, clean and well maintained. As for parking there are three options, the first and my favorite being in the back of the restaurant which can be a bit tricky to get to. You have to drive through the back parking lot of the laundromat next door and then walk through a clean and well lit alley on the side of the restaurant towards the front door. The second parking option is to the right side of the restaurant and the third is directly across the street. As for payment options they accept credit/debit cards and cash.

      As always, I hope your experience turns out as well or better then my own!

      I won't order anything from this place anymore!!! I order thru DoorDash and they forgot to give the hot chocolate that my pregnant sister ask for it ... and when I call the manager he said that they will send it to as. and my pregnant sister it was happy because she was craving for that and pupusas. 5 min. Same lazy manager call me and say that he won't bring it to as because they don't deliver. What kind of game is this. If I was a manager I will grab my car and bring the drink to make the customers happy. Plus the revueltas pupusas it was sour we don't know why!!! And the mondongo soup feels like they put it on a microwave or something. So nasty!!! They are not even close to be a salvadorean restaurant for sure. I will never order from this place never again
