    This has to be one of the best authentic Mexican/Salvadorian restaurants I have gone to. Every time I go I either get the “A la Mexicana”or “Carne Flameada”. The staff are friendly and the food is great, I recommend!!

    This is a fantastic place to go - right in the highlands so it’s near lots of fun things to do. The atmosphere is fun not too loud yet still lively. We always get great service and honestly you can’t go wrong with anything although a family favorite is the queso fundido and the skirt steak fajita

    Food was very tasteful, and the portions were just right! Ordered the Carne Asada, medium, was cooked perfectly, very moist, and juicy, very tasteful!

    Absolutely unprofessional. I called ahead for a pricing breakdown on the fajitas for two. My husband and I needed to place a pickup order for a special occasion. The lady on the phone told me the price. I asked for reassurance about the dish because we wanted the beef for both and not the combo. She stated it would still be $29. Upon picking up our order, I noticed I was over charged. I asked the guy from pick up why I was being charged more than what I was told? He said that it’s more for double beef. I completely understand charging extra for the beef BUT that’s not what I was told over the phone, especially after being reassured. I spoke with the manager and all he could do is apologize and just state that he would speak to his team about them knowing the pricing. Didn’t offer any kind of incentive or any kind of meal comp. Not even giving me the meal for what I WAS TOLD IT WAS GOING TO COST. As a nice restaurant that has a 4.5 star rating, this was absolutely unprofessional and disappointing. make sure when a customer is asking about pricing for things over the phone that you give the right price.
