Order: Bistec and 1 Empanada.
Food: The food was excellent. I was especially impressed by their Empanada. The Bistec was alright, not the most flavorful, but certainly not bad. The frijoles were quite creamy, which some may enjoy.
One is allowed to choose what to put in the empanada. I chose to put Jalapeños, pork, and cheese in mine. It was a delicious combination.
The service was extremely slow. I highly suspect they prioritized Doordash orders, and our wait time was around 1 hour. Despite the food being good, I don't believe it was worth the wait and I advise anyone wishing to try this restaurant to order it as takeout or via an app like Doordash.
Similarly, the restaurant was not really designed to be a sit-down location, just a few cramped tables. It certainly seemed like it was designed around carry-out.

Spent a wonderful date night on their patio enjoying Salvadorian food. I am blown away by the quality and quantity of food. Got to try a few new favorites, like pupusas and fried yuca. Delicious Mexican food as well, I had the shrimp ala diablo and was delighted by the spice. Please, please try this place! You won't regret it 😄

Cute little place! I was looking for a good Salvadoran spot to get Papusas since my abuelita doesn’t make them as often anymore. They’re tasty!! Loved the frijoles y queso papusas. We all love the food. The yuca is delicious. Prices are also fair! There’s a cute little outside covered area where you can sit and they’ll come to you. :)

Ordered the lunch special to go, got home and there was only 1 tamale (not two like it normally is), no rice and no beans in the box. Prefer the Auburn hills location to this one if you have a choice go to that one. Otherwise what i did actually get (the one tamale and small salad) was good as usual
