customer testimonial
What customers say?

"This is my favorite restaurant in DC!!! The servers are always super friendly and nice, and the food is delicious. I always get the chicken tacos, and the shredded chicken is so moist and delicious every time. My girlfriend swears by their horchata, and we've tried their Jamaica as well, which is very good. The Chicken Crema dish is one of our favorites, but this week we got the chicken fajitas and they were so flavorful. The best part of every meal though is their liquado beans!!! They're so salty and creamy, and the yellow rice is so buttery and rich. If you get tacos or pupusas, get the platter option, because it comes with rice and beans."

"Polite and friendly staff, delicious food in generous portions, low prices, extensive menu. Makes me wish I lived closer, I'd go often! All six of us got different items and they were all amazing. Lots of gluten free options, almost everything!"

"Went to this little cafe for dinner to try out salvadoran food. We were pleasantly surprised with the flavourful dishes and portions. We ordered the Burrito de Pollo (chicken) dish, tacos, and pupusas. My wife and kids loved each dish. We were so stuffed, we couldn't finish our meals."

"I got take out.. everything was hot and fresh. I got the chicken Milanese and was excellent. I also added the cilantro onion pepper cup which helped with added spice and freshness."
