ive been coming here since I was 4 years old, it’s comforting to me even though I don’t get to have it often, I’ve been all over Boston I even went to Guatemala this year and no one has better horchata. No one. I’ve loved their horchata forever and I just turned 19!!! the people there are sweet , their chicharrón pupusas are the best. Their salad and tomato sauce???? Omg I love their arroz con frijoles ahhhh I miss it so much im going back soon.

I tend to not write negative reviews but this is just uncalled for. I ordered a ‘torta’ last night to go and when I got home this is what I was surprised with. Rotten lettuce, no protein, jalapeños weren’t even diced up, the sandwich wasn’t even cut in half. Horrible, I took two bites and it tasted like a BK sandwich. Not very good quality food if you ask me, needless to say I won’t be coming here again.

Tacos de res are the only thing I get from there. They are good but I stopped ordering from there because it’s mostly fat from the meat that you get in the tacos and I hate having to go through every taco to take out all the fat

Food is amazing and friendly waiting staff. Do plan ahead to call and order as food needed about 30 minutes to come out.

Wonderful experience. Service was friendly and punctual. Restaurant is clean. I ordered a salvadorian sandwich, my wife ordered tilapia, and my in-laws ordered steak. Everyone was satisfied. We will absolutely be going there again. The entire experience was superb. I highly recommend visiting this establishment.
