This review is for anyone that would like to know how authentic this food is. Coming from a Mexican I can rate this highly. We are in Washington for a family trip and decided to stop here for dinner on a Saturday night. The menu is a mixture of Salvadorian and Mexican making it a wonderful combination. For an Appetizer we order the BOQUITAS MIXTAS Pupusas Carne asada Grilled chicken topped with a delicious salsa. Delicious mixtas pupusas and Make sure to try their tacos. Happy environment to have a grown up drink and enjoy music. Also the girls that are serving you are very attentive and make sure that you are well taken care off.

Looks like a bit of a dive from outside, but that's misleading. Went with family to practice Spanish. The woman taking our orders was kind and willing to put up with the curious white family trying their best. Good views of TV telenovas from all tables. FOOD WAS DELICIOUS! I got the Chicken Tacos and my sister got an enchilada.

This place was yummy. It was one of the few places still open when my best friend and I stayed at Adam's Inn nearby. I'm vegetarian, so I asked for a few modifications and an avocado on the side, and they were happy to oblige.

Had the bean & cheese pupusa, the revuelta pupusa, and they were oh so bomb ! Carne asada tacos were tasty. Chicken tamal was ok. Strawberry and lime margaritas were awesome . Nice and humble environment with a great Latin musical vibe. Great customer service. Viva Mexico & El Salvador . ...

Awesome place! My cousin, sister and I went here kinda as a last resort. Turns out, this was THE SPOT! The food was awesome, servers were very friendly and tentative. We danced, ate good food and had a very good time for such a small, intimate place! We can't wait to return! We ordered Asada carne, nachos, patron margaritas... ALL WAS DELICIOUS! THANKS!
