| - What a delightful, thoughtfully plated meal and experience I had at this little hole in the wall place! As evidenced by the name of the restaurant they specialize in arepas and pupusas. However, I tried a couple other menu items and they were authentic and delicious.
Full disclosure I've been to El Salvador and tried street Pupusas, these were a lot better. We started off with an appetizer of the bean and cheese pupusas (3) and they were huge. They came with a mild salsa and the traditional cabbage mixture that you put on top of the pupusas. Que rico?! It was so good, and easily could have made a meal out of that alone.
Next up I ordered two steak tacos in corn tortillas. The presentation was nice with parsley, lime, and perfectly cooked steak. It had a rich texture to it, I sensed some butter (never a bad thing).
My date had the plantains, a great side dish and/or dessert pairing. They had that hint of brown sugar(?) and cinnamon, with butter. It was excellent!
The portions were huge and the price was little, my kind of place! The staff were pleasant and this is definitely a place I'd like to frequent whenever I'm in the mood for authentic Latin cuisine. Next, I'll definitely have to try the arepas!
