Alamance county’s best kept secret! If you’re looking for REAL authentic Hispanic food, this is the place for you. It’s not fancy. There are no white linen tablecloths. However the food is fantastic and the service is outstanding. My favorite is the Pollo Giovanni. Breakfast is awesome as well.

Pollo Giovanni is delicious, rice spiced just right and cheesey broccoli topper+woot. Steak taco sliced and spicy, chicken taco seasoned just right.

What a fantastic meal! Wonderful service. Took the recommendations of the waitress and was not disappointed. Hubby had the tacos, and I had the Pollo ala Glovanni to share with him.

The pupusas are so good that I really haven’t ordered anything else yet. But I’ve seen food come out to other tables that looked absolutely amazing. Kitchen is a bit slow but that’s no problem when you’re going to get great food. Wait staff is very nice (the guy at the counter not terribly friendly). I love bringing people there for the first time & introducing them to their new favorite place!

Stopped here on our way back home from a camping trip. Food was delicious, service was great. I have food allergies and the server made sure my food would be safe. The music was a touch loud, but I am a bit noise sensitive so realistically it probably wouldn’t bother anyone else. Overall we were very happy and might make dinner here a tradition after future camping trips.

The service was great. This is a great place to go if your family is divided on what to have for dinner. They offer seafood, Italian, salvadoreñen, and Mexican food. Food is made to order and delicious!

This place is great! Very fresh food and authentic. I love the El Salvadoran tortillas. We always go for breakfast/brunch and it can get busy.
