Good Salvadoran food. Great family friendly restaurant. They have healthy, freshly made natural juices and licuados. I like the mom and pop feeling of this place. They also deliver with Uber eats. The staff and the cooks are really friendly and make you feel like family.

Not form Dallas! Always love to find small pops and moms restaurants when I travel. Today I came here. I had a dessert, empanada de plátano with a rice/cream filling!!! Absolutely amazing. Not too sweet.
