Amazing. Pupusas r fire. The bistec is life changing. You can tell they put time into the food. Come for the food, stay for the fun salvadoreño vibes
I came with my mom and holy cow! The pupusas are so good!! We are Salvadoran and I was impressed. I got the tamal de gallina and the 2 pupusas (bean and cheese and queso con loroco). They are filled the way they should be and the curtido and salsa is not spicy (the way they are made at other places). I also got the shrimp cocktail and it was delicious. I highly recommend this place and will most definitely be coming back.
We stopped here on the way to 17mile drive. Just looked for some food. We had a very pleasant experience. Good food. Very clean place. Everything was fresh. Bottom line: I recommend this restaurant
Personally one of my favorite restaurants in the Monterey Bay are!!!!! So glad I have been to this Salvadoran restaurant!! The service is absolutely Great!! I love the ambiance of this place as it is casual and festive. The food is delicious on so many levels and the presentation is the Best!! Enchiladas Cancun are a must!!!!!
Outstanding food, service and renovations! We enjoyed this lazy Saturday in Seaside, CA. Ordered the Plantanos with Horchata and Cola Champagne. We went to Fiddler on the Roof in Salinas that was also outstanding and still playing until this Saturday.
Pupusas de chicharron with their curtido and salsa! Can't go wrong!! Service is friendly
My friend suggested this place and I am so happy I got to try it! A no-frills Salvadorian restaurant, the spot had a low key, welcoming vibe. We were served complimentary chips and salsa, which was great - the chips were satisfyingly crunchy! I ordered the horchata and it was very tasty. The drink was made fresh with cinnamon and additional spices that made the drink even more wonderful. It was incredibly creamy, milky and refreshing with the right amount of sweetness. My friend and I decided to share everything. We started off the papusa with a chicken tamale. The restaurant allowed us to choose 2 different types of papusa. I opted for the pork and cheese, which was absolutely delicious! The outer breading was moist and tender, and there was plenty of well seasoned and tender pork, along with tons of cheese, making it all mouthwatering! The tamale was also good, with yummy shredded chicken. For the entree, we went for the Tex Mex Fajitas and were allowed to choose 2 different kinds of meat, so we selected steak and shrimp. This also came with rice and beans, onion, green peppers, lettuce, sour cream, guacamole, chopped tomatoes, and onion. And homemade tortilla, of course. The steak was perfectly seared, juicy and bursting with flavor. The shrimp was also enjoyable and they were generous with the amount. Both were cooked to perfection and tasted really amazing in the tortilla with all the trimmings. Our waitress was lovely and she knew the menu well, so made informed recommendations for us. She was friendly and kind. I also appreciated that she was so accommodating with our order. The prices were reasonable, as everything is below $15. Also, the portion sizes are large. I would definitely like to return, as there are so many appetizing choices on the menu!
