This was some of the absolute best food I’ve ever had in my LIFE. We ordered a plate (plato) with everything (steak, chicken, shrimp, chicharrones) and fried plantains for dessert. One of each was enough for my son (age 5) and I to share, and we still took some home. I will dream of this meal for years. Yes, it was that good.

I love this place. I’ve moved from South Florida as of three months ago and this is the first place that I found that I thoroughly enjoy their chicharrones and plantains. If you’re looking for authentic- come here.

What a gem! This place is casual counter service with AMAZING food. Lots of vegetarian options. I had a variety of corn pupusas and the best chicken tamale I’ve ever eaten. I’ll be back to try the rice pupusas. My bf got the pork chicharones which reminded me of pork burnt ends- they were so flavorful. You can’t miss their fried plantains. The service was friendly and quick. Would definitely recommend!

The food is DELICIOUS!!! The woman who owns the restaurant was so very kind and helpful. She enjoys sharing her country and traditions with others and that is obvious from the love she puts into the food.

No frills…hole in the wall…. excellent food! The papuysas are amazing. Tried several varieties. The Carne Asada had great seasoning and char (slightly overcooked but still went down fine). Had the tamales too, think moist and slightly gummy vs a Mexican style but a different flavor. Prices are very reasonable. Come here for El Salvadorian food and flavor. I’ll be back. I’m glad I don’t live here because these are the places that I would eat at weekly.

We will be back. Very tasty. Fresh Tamarind juice. I love the sauces – sweet sour cream and home made hot sauce. The little salad was perfect too. Yay!

On food alone this place would be 5 stars. Does not look like much from outside or in, most food is served on paper plates. I started with the Salvadorean famous pupusa. One of the beat I have ever had. The cheese was hot and gooey & the pork had some amazing flavors. I am of Salvadorean decent and I am very picky about pupusas……these compare to my Mon’s! The Yucatan con chicharon, another country favorite did not disappoint. Yucatan was tender & moist, pork was amazingly seasoned and cooked. This place really reminds you not to judge a book by its cover. I had yet to find a great pupusa in NC but my search is over! I highly recommend this spot!

This is a place for great authentic foods, not a place for atmosphere. We get takeout from here at least once a month and it’s money well spent satisfaction every time.
