Food is fantastic, always made to order, fresh. The ladies at the counter are always super nice and offer great recommendations on the menu. The food usually takes time to prepare, but as said above, that is because it's made to order and fresh.

I stopped here on a road trip, and I was blown away by the service and quality of the food here. The woman who took our order was extremely friendly, immediately greeting us, and offering suggestions and help with looking at all of the various menu options. Since it was morning, we opted for breakfast burritos. She was accommodating and made sure to note down dietary preferences, which included no sour cream on one and no cheese on the other. Wow! These burritos were huge and packed with eggs, ham, beans, and cheese. Whole they were flavorful on their own, the salsa added an amazing touch and hint of spice. The best part, however, were the homemade tortillas which are some of the best I've ever had. Excellent all around and would definitely come back!

Needed to grab a quick dinner Sunday night. Was a little busy. Three of us over ordered so much to choose from. Small little not fancy place for very good food. Tried the empanadas. Light and crispy dough with tasty pollo filling. Tamales were for breakfast but bro said we have to try the Guatemalan style. Haha tried two one with rice and the other corn/masa. Both were a creamy consistency and both very good. Then el pastor. Pop was the flavor. Just a little different from what others serve. Pork was not fatty and so tasty. Pupusas. Did I say we over ordered. . Hand made and delightful. Okay last promise was fried plantains. Perfect savory sweet with black bean puree and crema. Will we be back? You betcha we will.

The place is good, clean and good friendly service. The food is pretty good too, I would recommend it and I would come again. I came in through the store, I got thrown off by that but restaurant is at the end and it does have its own entrance . The food portions are big so come with a good appetite. The store has a good variety of condiments from Central America a plus.
