Jan 2024: a mix of Mexican and El Salvador food found here. Very spacious dining room. Not crowded on a Friday at 5 pm. I tried to ask questions about beer and cocktails but they just did not understand me, but were courteous. We had 2 kinds of pupusas and the enchilada platter tres (cheese, chicken and beef) that come with standard rice and beans. Food was good but not exceptional. Comes in at a cafeteria level. It’s also a sports bar and they have karaoke on some nights, so it probably functions better as that.

The food was so good and well priced for the amount of food you get. The service was great the owner/ cook talked to us and made my son smile she was so sweet. You can tell she made the food from her heart definitely recommend 1000%

This is our Friday date night place. Where else can you spend a whole evening enjoying drinks, great Salvadorian / Mexican food, and listening to very good karaoke singers (mostly in Spanish). Order appetizers, have a beer, and order dinner when you’re ready. Most restaurants hurry you to get your meal and give up the table – not here! They welcome families to set up several tables and party all evening. This is a real hidden treasure in Germantown. They have karaoke on Fridays and Saturdays. We’ve tried nearly every dish they serve, and they are all excellent! Try the pargo Frito if you love fish.

To start Miguel the bartender was excellent. Unfortunately, the barria tacos lunch special that two of us ordered had more lots more cheese then meat. The flavor was good, the au jous was flavorful but the cheese was overwhelming. Their steak tacos & shrimp tacos were very tasty. Definitely will go again to let them redeem my 1st impression.

Pretty good Salvadorian/Mexican restaurant in Germantown. The place was pretty big inside and not a lot of people were there, so I was able to get the table right away. I ordered mix fajitas, paella Salvadorena, quesadillas, and some pupusas. All the dishes were pretty good and i really enjoyed the Salvadorian paella. Portions were huge! They also had a happy hour menu, so we got some Mexican beers go along with all the food we ordered. Service was just okay, she rarely checked on my table. I also noticed that a lot people order takeouts in this place.

All right so could not get a table where our initially wanted to go for my birthday so I ended up here to discover. In the end the food was way better than expected and the overall experience was great. I ordered a piece of fish that was almost $50 and walked away full and quite content with the experience.

The food is OK. But the service is horrible not only they don’t know how to speak English properly especially the waitress (Mayra) but has a very disgusting attitude with a customer that’s gonna be tipping her and it’s not obligated to do it. It’s embarrassing for someone that is your same race have to behave with that type of attitude and I know for a fact, she does not have her credential because her English is very poor. For that type of behavior is uncalled for and especially with this type of situation that is going on Right in this moment. The owner itself should do something in regards of this with his waitress with his bartender with the staff that he has. Because if they behave this way with me how many other customers they have done that too? If they are not happy with their job, they should quit and find another and not be taking their frustration with others. I am furious that I wasted my money my time with that type of behavior and I’m coming from work. Just wanted to relax waiting for my children to finish The high class it’s unnecessary and I am paying isn’t like I’m not paying for my food. If the owner doesn’t do anything that says a lot, the type of restaurant they are running. And I’m writing this for other people that wanna know exactly the review is not even worth it to waste your time and energy with this type of attitude.

I ordered a tres leches cake from Abi Azteca and unfortunately received a moldy, old piece of cake. When I called to speak with a manager, I was told there was no manager available and the person on the phone hung up on me. I called back to see if anyone spoke English so I could explain the issue, and the response was dismissive and unhelpful. Even after my coworker explained the situation in Spanish, the staff didn’t seem to care. Very disappointing experience. If you decide to order from here, I recommend checking your food carefully before eating it.

This place is lovely!
This is a beautiful family restaurant where the food is great and the drinks are always refreshing.
Each time I have come here, the waitresses and waiters are extremely attentive and dedicated to the patrons.
My mother loves their soup as I love their papausas that they sell! If you are looking for papusas de cangrego- this is the most delicious place to come!!
