The food here is authentic and flavorful, especially the pupusas, tamales, and tacos, all served in generous portions at reasonable prices. Although the seating is limited and it can get crowded during peak times, the quick service and friendly staff make for a satisfying dining experience that keeps me coming back.

Some of the best food I have ever had! Everyone who works there is very nice, but knowing some Spanish is certainly a plus. If you eat there be prepared for there to be Latin music playing loudly and soccer to be on the tv. There is a second store located in Park St. in Columbia Heights. Highly recommend giving them a try!
