| - It's all about the papusas... and the tamales ;)
Cute, quaint, kitschy...
Maria is in the back, cooking everything from scratch.
The pupusas are great. I love the tangy hot sauce. I could eat at least 5 of them. But then I wouldn't have room for a tamale. I've had quite a few tamales in my day and I must say, these are some of the best. Wrapped in a banana leaf and so tender and steamy, the chicken filling to corn is in perfect ratio. I get a little miffed when there's barely any filling. These are perfect. I also love the pastels. They are similar to an empanada, crispy with filling.
I've also had the chile rellenos. It was just OK, nothing too earth shattering. Some friends of mine got carne asada. They said it was severely overcooked. I had to try it for myself. Umm, yep... Note to self, stay away from the steak entrees.
The drinks can be a bit hit or miss. I always order the horchata. It's sweet, but not sickeningly so. The tamarind drink is a bit much. Too sweet to be enjoyable for me. The ensalada drink was just weird and too sweet as well.
I come here for the ambiance, the ethnic experience and the finger food. The rest, well....
