The pupusas came out hot, which I appreciated, but something was off from the start. They were visibly misshapen compared to what I'm used to, and the filling was just... strange. The texture inside was almost mushy grainy, like cooked rice, which isn't something I've ever encountered in a pupusa. I kept waiting for the flavor to win me over, but it never did. Mediocre and a little flat. Not offensive, just uninspired. The horchata was fine. I finished it. If you're in Larkspur and craving Salvadoran food specifically, I'd keep looking. If you're just hungry and nearby, it'll get you through the movie. That's about the best I can say.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

The outside was grilled to perfection--well done... *not* undercooked like some pupuserias. Lively Latin music played at a nice volume where you can talk with your companions. Merengue and more. You give your order and are given a number. You pick your own seat. Signs are bilingual--mostly Latin patrons, which is my usual litmus test that usually means the food has authentic flavor, which I love and look for from ethnic dining experiences. It's very clean and looks freshly painted. I was here just before noon and there was a steady stream of patrons.

The garnachas which seemed to be similar to tostadas, were surprisingly soft but not too soggy, so it was great. The caldo de res ticked all the taste boxes.

Luckily this restaurant is actually not far! The menu provided was entirely in Spanish, but there are pictures in case you find yourself lost. It was a nice Guatemalan restaurant experience, despite the parking not being the easiest.

The super burrito I ordered was extremely small, about the size of my iPhone, which was really disappointing for the price and the chips were overly salty. Unfortunately, the customer service also wasn't great. I know I haven't visited them in a few years, but It seems like something has changed with the menu prices. Menu prices have gone up while portions have gone down, which is a terrible combination. But the burrito was good 7/10. Sadly, I didn't have that experience that I had in the past.

The energy in the restaurant is lively and loud. There were people watching the game at the bar and many parties chatting it up around you. It's a great atmosphere and perfect for a night out. Started off with chips and salsa. The chips were on the thicker side, which I think made the chips crispier if you're into that. It came with two salsas (salsa verde and red salsa). The salsa verde had a fresh, bright flavor with a nice tang. Ironically, the red salsa was a lot milder. It had a slightly sweet, bold flavor but still tasted a bit watery. I ordered the fish tacos, but found they were a miss for me. The accompanying sauces didn't add much to the flavor profile. The toppings and sauce were watery, leaving the overall taste bland. On the other hand, the lamb birria was a hit, but I think I would have preferred a traditional beef birria instead. Had a strong gamey flavor I couldn't ignore. The food did not live up to their presentation. I did enjoy the atmosphere and service, but the food fell flat for me. If I could describe this experience, it would be disappointing.
