Review №1

Had a very bad experience today at your location . I had ordered some food and I told you workers if they can make my order one of them told me that her helper was going to make my order and they were going back and fourth to say who was going to cook the food.. I was there for 15 minutes and none of them took my order I was very disappointed I have been your customer for many years and I live around the area and enjoyed the food but with this experience I don’t think I will be coming back I feel like your staff needs to treat better and be more professional once it comers to Greet customers ….. if they don’t want to work they should be working ..

Carne Asada Tacos and Cheese Papusa!! Excelente. Definitely coming back. Helps to know a little Spanish but not necessary. Meat is marinated and made fresh cooked to order. Great salsa and toppings. I could have split the tacos with someone but I was hungry. I’ll be coming back.

My son and I went here for Togo food. Girl behind counter didnt understand us. A guy sitting down eating communicated with her and we got our food. Thanks Sir.

I ordered 4 pupusas and only got 3 and they claimed I told them 3 but I said 4. They gave me the wrong order and they don’t even pay attention to what’s going on around them. I miss the old employees not the new ones

I always grab a decent meal from the carry out every now and then. Good food, most importantly reasonable price. The grocery has the best cashiers ever. If they had something I wanted I will wait just to buy it here. That kind of attitude could really keep you in business.

I was Introduced to the carry out two days ago. Fell in love. Customer service at the time was exceptional. Today I went back in to order the same dish and not only was it different but the two that served me today were rude.(and I felt as if my family were the butt of their jokes) There were things that were deliberately left out that I had to ask for for my meal. The cheese was imitation and mush for a quesadilla. There was barely any meat. And even though I asked for no tomatos they put some on and took them off. I asked for none because I have allergies. And I made sure to ask the attendant in the grocery store to order since I do not speak any spanish. Lost what would have been a loyal customer. All my other encounters with the staff was great, but I wont be returning.

Chicken was cold and dry. If you dont speak the language, good luck getting service. I asked for salad and was given coleslaw...smh I will NEVER come back to eat herr again! They are lucky I cant give a negative star!

Great el salvadorian food. Take out only. They have a few stools but it really is a convenient store with food.

The restaurant side has wonderful food and the grocery side has great Latino food. The only problem on either side is the language barrier. If you have a little Spanish, it is well worth it. If you dont, it can be a frustrating experience.

Please dont go to McDonalds for breakfast. This place is directly across from them and their breakfast is delicious and fresh and for a great price. My Spanish isnt great and I always get what I want so dont worry about the language barrier. My favorite is Numéro Quattro - eggs mixed with peppers and a side of sour cream some avocado a side of bean paste I think with some cheese, two fresh tortillas and a helping of warm plantains. Sooo good! Theres a grocery connected to it also.

The best place to get pupusas! This unassuming take-out place is attached to the El Paisa Grocery store. Pupusas are handmade, perfectly-sized, cooked awesomely with its crispy exterior and cheesy interior. The curtido de repollo is also fresh and a lovely complement to the pupusas. Dont forget to try the Tacos al Carbon Carne - marinated strips of beef that was just oh-so-savory. Brush up on your Spanish, because this place is as authentic as they come!
