This will be my new baseline for el salvadorian food. Great flavor combinations, great portions,…read moreand tons of options. It easily made it into my top 3 of colorado springs. We got the pupusa in green chili sauce and plantains and both were amazing. I appreciated that they didn't need to doll it up. They just let the good food speek for itself. The pupusas were a nice mix of savory, tangy, and the plantains were carmilized on their own sugars. No notes. Now here are some notes. It is packed most of the time so get there early. We went once on a friday and everyone was shoulder to shoulder waiting for a table. The music level was also one that got to my wife. Luckily we were sitting further away from it but if we were closer I don't think we could have had a good conversation. The final one that got me was the plastic cups. This seems like such an easy fix and is such a bumber. The best way to give themselves a little extra time for dishes and reduce the cloud is probably just too open up a new location. All that being said, they are still great.

We both got a bowl of soup. She got grandma's chicken soup and I got the chicken enchilada soup. Both come with a slice of focaccia. Both soups and the bread were delicious! The total was roughly $15, so not bad. It was a lovely bite of food. The service was fast and friendly. The atmosphere was so cozy also. I'm kind of shocked we haven't done this before.

Service was great and friendly, definitely a popular spot because lines form quickly! My brother had a chicken sandwich that he very much enjoyed and devoured, and my mom had a salad that was huge and she was super full and satisfied after eating it. The vegan breakfast burrito gets a 15/10 from me, and I didn't even add any extras. Incredible flavor, didn't fall apart, and was just perfect! I also got a vegan chocolate chip cookie and it was huge and absolutely amazing!! Ambience was awesome, outdoor and indoor seating upstairs and downstairs so no issues finding a table. Overall, I would love to go back on my next visit and my family loved it as well! I want another breakfast burrito if I'm being honest

Visiting from Denver as we stayed at Hotel Polaris, we found this "Dim Sum Tea House" on Yelp. This…read morearea of CO Springs seems run down and the homeless were abundant. It was 98-100 degrees and really think we should of chose a different place after our experience and lack of customer service here. Parking was $1.50 per hour (First 2 hours) and then goes up per hour on the side street in front of this establishment. When you walk in, the place looks cute but after wandering around, it needs a deep cleaning and dusting. Our table was sticky, floors dirty. If you sit at the tables, you have to take your shoes off. There is no clear direction of what to do. We waited and I believe the owner came out and asked if we had reservations. There was no one in there, two women were seated at the regular tables. Also, you are charged $5 per person for this "tea ceremony" which is basically the other worker pouring hot water in the tea pot. So you get one tea choice per person. My nephew wanted cold tea aka their boba. He asked for a Mango slush boba but got watery straight milk tea that was inedible. We asked if he could switch out for another drink but they said No! If he wanted another drink, they would charge another $6 which the lady said was $5 if you got cold or hot. As a business owner, if someone asks for another option, customer service would be to either take it off the tab or offer to remake it correctly. The dim sum was edible but not really. Hearing microwave beeps. They came out hot but I don't know how fresh. I guess coming from Denver, we have real dim sum on carts and CO Springs is just a weird city with essentric taste buds. All the places we ate at were not great but Yelp reviews had 4-5 stars for them. Also, the way the place is set up, we heard all of our tea server's convo's. I won't mention what we heard but definately not what you want to listen to. Pictures attached and trust me look better than what they tasted. Taro buns were the only thing we liked. I am confused how people like this place. Neat concept but needs a lot of work and cleaning.
