| - Coming back to the USA after being in Japan for two years, my wife (whose parents are from El Salvador) was dying for some El Salvadorian food. She read the reviews here and really, really, really wanted to go. The only problem was that the first night we went, we got here at 1950 and the doors were already locked since it closes at 2000. My wife was in absolute tears, but we made do at a Tex Mex joint that worked out with giant Margaritas.
The next day, I went with my wife, mom, and dad. My mom is Japanese and my dad is a big southern white guy - they rarely eat Latino food, and never tried El Salvadorian. We had the paposa's and they were in love. My mom ordered the giant fish in garlic and it was by far the best fish she had had cooked ever. My dad who normally sticks with beef went with the shrimp soup and fell in love. My wife was amazing happy as my parents enjoyed the food she grew up with.
This place is legit as my wife would like to say. It made her really happy and although the hours are pretty sparse, the food is definitely home cooked, the coffee tastes good, and the service is nice. I wish it was a little closer to the strip since we had a $25 cab ride to get there, but it worked out and we are back in Japan awaiting our next time we can go get amazing legit El Salvadorian food.
