“ Wife is guatemalan and loved the tamales and enchilada guatemalteca! Pupusas were good too, Stuffed with meat !!!! ”
“ Our party of two stopped in this quaint restaurant for dinner. We got the chips and guac (the best and freshest I’ve ever had -look at the color!) and split 2 birria tacos-the meats was so juicy and tender! They were just fabulous and the consume that accompanied it was so good I wanted to drink what was left. I had horchata for the first time which was wonderful-rice milk with almond and cinnamon. We capped off dinner with a shared lava cake which was rich and fudgey and a hot chocolate. I asked about the eloto hot beverage (made with corn!) and it was very tasty but not something I might order again. Will be back again for the grey, friendly service and fresh perfectly flavored and cooked food. ”
“ Stopped here to try some pupusa for lunch. This was a first time of me trying the pupusa. It was good - freshly made. I tried all vegetarian ones- with zucchini, beans and one with some flower- I don’t remember. My husband had Birria tacos and he said it was amazing. Vibe is casual but cute. It’s a small restaurant- great for casual lunch. ”
