Parking was surprisingly easy, which is always a plus, and the staff were warm and helpful in walking through the menu. It is the kind of environment where you can relax, settle in, and let the food be the star. And the food really does shine. The meat platter was loaded with juicy, well-seasoned cuts that made it a challenge to finish in one sitting, though I happily tried. Empanadas were crisp and flavorful, and the sides tied everything together nicely. Portions are generous across the board, so you definitely leave feeling satisfied. This is a place to come hungry and curious, because every dish feels like a little celebration of Colombian flavors.

I called the restaurant and a person tells me that they close at 8:30 pm but that they really close at 8 pm because they have to clean to leave at 8:30 pm exactly. What a bad service!!

Oh my word! 5 star flavor! This is gas station Salvadorean food and in my top 3 nationwide and the…read moresecond best "restaurant"pupusa I have ever had!!!! We accidentally found this place while on vacation. I had bean and cheese, pork and cheese and a chicken and cheese. The bean was a little burnt but the pork and chicken were flavorful and amazing. The slaw was favored with jalapeños and was more carrot than cabbage and had spicy amazing flavor. The sauce was pretty plain but the slaw made up for it. I was thankful for a local that interpreted for me because I could not have ordered without him. Don't be scared of gas station food! Be adventurous!

Found this place after missing two places traveling through Knoxville. So happy we did…read more It's a small rustic place, very casual. It actually has a small grocery store in the back. The service is amazing and the staff is very friendly. Gives you a family owned feeling. We started with the Papusa's. So fresh and tasty. The masa was delicious and they were very cheesy. I could've ate this for the entire meal. I had the fried chicken on top of plantains covered in cabbage and tomatoes with salsa and drenched in a fantastic tangy crema. The chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Jacob had the same as I, but with beef. The ground beef was so tasty. I could eat here every week. I have never had Honduran food before, so I don't know if I can say the following statement. But, I felt like grandma was in the back making a real authentic family meal.

This place is a mix between a sparse convenience store and a hole in the wall restaurant. But, if…read moreone looks past the informality, one would see a place where workers and families stop on for some tasty, home style South American food. I picked up a burritas hondureñas, which was like a corn tortillas sandwich filled with meat, eggs, beans, cheese, and avocado. It was good but the hot sauce on the table kicked it up a notch. The papusas were everything one could want and more. Cheesy, thick, and topped with a tangy curtido. I left feeling pleasantly plump and happy to see a place like this on my quick trip through Knoxville.

This is the worst best restaurant I've been to. The music playing was beyond loud, and there was…read moretwo guys using hammer drills to add 2x4 supports to every booth bench in the place. Imagine mariachi on 11, with the random grrrrrr of a hammer drill. The food took a while to come out, but was very delicious. The wife loved her deep fried chimichanga meal. I had the Pollo a la plancha meal which is grilled chicken served with fry green plantain, beans, cheese, pico de gallo, pickled onions/jalapeños and sausage. Don't think for a minute I had that memorized, I copied it from their website. The kid had two plain chicken soft tacos with a side of cheese. The men's room was the worst I've seen in a restaurant. It reminds of those old school dirty single stool gas station toilets that you had to ask for the key to use it. The trash was overflowing onto the floor, toilet paper was stored on top of toilet itself. Damn wall light switch was white with a touch of greasy black smudges, door handle was falling off, and it smelled like a kennel. I came out of there dirtier than I went in. Food score 4+, facility experience 1.

Waiter gave me a menu, came back in about a minute, and I was not ready.....then I waited and waited, about ten minutes, before he came back. He was the only worker in the front-- so he was waiting, ushering, cashiering, the whole operation, and it got busier after I had come in. Second, no alcohol. Not a deal-breaker but a beer with good food is nice. Menu is one for all- no real separate lunch menu. So for many items, youi are going to be paying $18-$28 for lunch. I got a dish that was area with cheese and eggs, and said clearly eggs of your choice...but I was never asked. Also got one side empanada. The empanada was the best thing, but it was TINY, I mean like 3 normal size bites. Flavorful and fresh; if I did go here for lunch again, I'd get a plate full of them. The arepa was very thin, so not a full tasting of the gritty cornmeal taste. Cheese on top was bland (I should have known) and then just scrambled eggs on the side. OK, and filling, but BLAND. I would go back for dinner and try the fancier steak or seafood dishes, if I was in that area.
