    The restaurant has a pleasant atmosphere, and the customer service was decent. Unfortunately, the food was very disappointing. I ordered chicken pupusas, but there was barely any chicken—they were mostly filled with cheese. The beans and rice were bland and lacked flavor. The sauces were watery and underwhelming; I was expecting a flavorful green sauce and a rich red sauce to complement the meal, but both fell far short. The chili con queso was extremely thick and quickly began to solidify. The tacos were skimpy on chicken and overloaded with raw onions, which completely overpowered the dish. Overall, I feel like I wasted my money and will not be returning. Now I understand why the restaurant was empty. The prices are high, yet the food is bland and poorly portioned.

    We had a fantastic meal here. Upgraded our fajitas for 2 to include the shrimp and quesadilla and it was incredible. Shrimp was cooked perfectly. The staff was also very friendly and attentive.

    Clean and inviting interior. Great customer service and hospitality. I came with high hopes and an appetite. Unfortunately, the only thing I enjoyed was the aqua de pepito (cucumber water). The food was horrible and presentation was equally bad. I started with some standard a la carte items just to taste the quality of meat, etc while waiting for my son to join me. Beef taco - Im not sure what part of the cow they're serving but it is not any beef Ive had before. It was also severely charred on one side before chopped and served to me. Chicken taco-The chicken was flavorful but they were stingy with the portion of chicken. The tamale🫔...unforgiving. 90% cornbread, 10% chicken and it wasnt served in the husk which made me suspicious. I took one bite, split it in half...still barely meat... pushed it aside. I've never been served a tamale without the husk. Last the $8 guacamole is a complete ripoff. A small scoop of guac on top of a bed of lettuce to make it seem larger than what it really is. No tomatoes or onions in the guac either...just smashed avocado which is lazy. I politely gave it back and let them know I was NOT paying $8 for that. I didnt eat the tamale, my son arrived and ate the 2 tacos. He agreed the beef was seasoned well but questionable, however he was hungry. Chips were fresh but unsalted and the salsa was actually soup. No green or red sauces were available. We decided to go elsewhere since the few items I ordered weren't satisfying. $13 total bill but that could've been better spent elsewhere.
