History

My name is Leydy and proudly own this establishment. I have been cooking ever since I was a little girl. I was born and raised in El Salvador and growing up there I always helped my grandmother cook and always paid close attention to what she was doing. I quickly learned and developed my own style of cooking. I have own and operated many types of businesses but never did what I passion the most.......cooking! After many years I finally did it; I opened up my own place, serving the type of food I know the most. Salvadorean is very different from Mexican and I have made it my mission to show everyone the differences. Everything I make in my kitchen is fresh and made from scratch. It's a family restaurant so only family works here. We're all Salvadorean so we know what we are talking about when it comes to Salvadorean food. I do my absolute best to make the most traditional dishes. Gives us a try and promise only my best for you.

Specialties

If there is anything you have to try, it's the pupusas. That's what we're famous for. They are stuffed tortillas and they are like calzones in a way but with a tortilla. They can be stuffed with cheese, beans, pork, shrimp, chicken and the list goes on. Mix the stuffing any way you want.

The food is good, with friendly and accurate service. Taking into account the preparation time for pupusas, speed is secondary. The restaurant's cozy atmosphere accommodates about 40 diners.
