Review


Dined there for the first time & was very pleased.

Remember to ask your food be supervised when you order, to ensure your safety. You order and pay at the register when you enter and good sign, the woman was more flustered I was ordering in Spanish, than my insistence thing must be GF! (She managed, btw. Much of the staff are native Spanish speakers. All appears fairly knowledgeable re gluten. The woman bussing the table (Salvadoreña) asked if I was celiac or gluten intolerant.)

That aside, the food was delicious, and authentic. The Pibil excellent, and the tostones superb. Dedicated fryer on site. Top of your meal with café de la olla.
