I have loved the Salvadoran food I get here for nearly 20 years! They have had MAJOR improvements since I first went there in 1999/2000, and still serve the same delicious food plus offer a small selection of store goods. I was fortunate enough to meet the daughter of the original owners who is now running the restaurant and store while the parents remain involved cooking! Vegetarian options: Pupusas with no meat. Parking: About 5-7 dedicated parking spaces in front and alongside the restaurant
The food is AMAZING ! I had pupusas for the first time in San Diego at a Mediterranean spot and this place has surpassed theirs. My food was delivered slow and even after reheating everything was good. Will be ordering again today for lunch, thanks El Tio
Very pleasant staff, very authentic food, and they took my order in English! (A plus because my love for Central American food is great but my spanish is not!)
