" While I enjoyed the food, the service was exceedingly slow during my last visit. I tried the carne asada fries and they hit the spot! The pupusas, while good, could be fresher. I understand that busy times can slow things down but it impacted the overall experience. Will give it a shot again though because I think they have potential. " (*Curated Review*)

" Great food overall! The tortas were delightful and offered a variety of flavors that I enjoyed. The setting is more casual, which matches the vibe of the restaurant. The service was prompt, and the staff was helpful. I think this spot has a lot of potential for even better food with just a few tweaks. Looking forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)
