Fantastic hole in the wall featuring a delicious variety of Latin cuisine. Chicharron is a must try, you will not be disappointed.

Amazing food and friendly service! Their pupusas are delicious, and I really appreciate having a vegan option... Definitely the best place for a tasty, filling vegan meal downtown, and if you eat meat/cheese there are lots of choices that you'll love too!

Delicious authentic cuisine. This place is the only place for about 400km you can get real birria tacos. If you hate texmex garbage like taco time and want something real, this place is it! Also, to the guy who went to a Latin Cocina and left a 3 star review because he doesn’t like El Salvadoran food - maybe don’t go to restaurants that serve El Salvadoran food - this place deserved better. Will definitely be back!
