Brunch is great with some carne asada,rice, and beans. This place always hits the right place. Yes sometimes you gotta wait a while, remember the place is small.. but it's worth it. If your looking for some good salvi food, I recommend this place!!!

Full Disclosure: I've known the owner for years, but this review is truly an unbiased opinion…read more Good tasting food and cleanliness is very important in the food service industry. I've taken a tour of their kitchen before, and I can conclude that everything is in tip-top shape. The chef has been there for many many years and can do wonders with her food ingredients. If you truly want to taste Home-Made Salvadoran food (like Mama's secret recipe good), I suggest you stop by Las Brisas De El Salvador and give it a try. I've came here at least a dozen times and I'm still in love with their food! Also, the place has a super cute interior of sceneries from El Salvador. 1) Milk Shakes: I think I've tried almost all of their flavors and Honeydew, Cantaloupe, and Papaya shakes are personally my favorites. 2) My dad and I love their beef soup and my mom prefers their chicken noodle soup. 3) My mom LOVES their pupusas. FYI: I swore they had an english-verison menu a couple of years ago, but now it's all in spanish. However, they knew exactly what I wanted when I came here to order take-out. I would order new things, but unfortunately my 3 years of high school spanish did not do the menu any justice. I really missed the waitress that used to work there about 2 years ago, she was super awesome! Oh yea, it's CASH ONLY and there's a HUGE parking lot in the back!

I instantly became a fan. They are authentic and delicious! PLUS they are reasonably priced. A good spot to go to!

First and foremost this is one of the freshest tasting meals I've had in a long time. The portion…read moresize did not disappoint as you can see! Only thing thing I had to add was a little salt and pepper and the meal was a 10/10. The lady behind the counter was very kind, welcoming and patient with helping me pick the best meal. The food is South American style so some of the items were new to me but I was very happy with my pick. You can choose from a counter of cooked food for a plate or order directly off of the menu for a freshly cooked meal. I sat inside, there's a good amount of seating and it's very chill with a couple of TVs playing Spanish shows inside. I enjoyed unplugging from my phone and eating in this environment.

What I was so so so disappointed was the type of fish they put into my order. The yellowish rice was well-seasoned. The only BIG serous issue was they should be honest about type of fish they use! Absolutely NOT red snapper but much much cheaper porgies. So consumers won't feel like fools. (I was looking forward to my red snappers, which says CLEARLY both on their site and menu. Instead I received two cheap porgies instead)! The delivery was like back in Stone Age, took 3.4 million years to get to my door. The young woman over the phone was nice.
