They catered my job's meeting and everyone who attended the meeting love the food. Very professional and had the order ready when they said it would be ready. Definitely planning to use their services again.

The pupusas here are packed. The loroco & cheese is really good, the bean & cheese were my favorite. Delicious! Horchata is a little on the sweeter side (not complaining). And they have Pilsener if you are looking for the unofficial beer of El Salvador. Can't wait to try the empanadas next time!

Fajitas, pupusas, sopa de res or caldo! They got it and they make it DELICIOUS! Authentic and the aguas frescas as so fresh! Agua de arrayan, ensalada and passion fruit were exceptional.
