I wasn't super familiar with Salvadoran food, but the menu was very easy to navigate. The star of our lunch were the chicken pastelitos. Similar to the concept of an empanada, but fried and scrumptious. Perfect appetizer. The fried platanos (plantains) were also perfect. They got the crust outside just to my liking. The tamales were also outstanding. It's hard to find restaurants that do very freshly steamed, tender tamales like this. It was served in the husk. We got the one with the pork filling which hit the spot and complimented the sauces they provided. I would totally stop by here to pick up a large order of tamales, I'll have to look into if they can do that. All in all, this place is incredible and worth the drive if you've never tried pupusas or anything of the sort. Very casual, but sit-down and order at the table.

We had rice and refried beans on the side, along with the salsa and chips, and some cheese dip. That was the best salsa I've had in a LONG time, and the cheese sauce was VERY good, too. I liked mine, as did hub; but we weren't as crazy for his gordita. And they use corn tortillas instead of flour. The service was excellent. Our one complaint was that they served our main food in the same kind of basket that they served the chips in; fine for anything to be picked up and eaten, but not able to cut our food up in. But, the very nice, personable server gladly brought out a regular plate. We will go back and try some other yummy things.
