Tucked away in a niche, these tacos were so flavorful! The margaritas were freshly made and amazing. They may not have all the typical selections for tequila but sometimes simple is better!

This place is every underrated. The food tasted amazing, especially the lomo saltado, it was so delicious. The horchata was also so flavorful and tasted amazing, I’ll excited to come back for more. They also have a sign outside that says they have karaoke nights, and inside they have some gambling machines and hookahs, so seems like a fun place to come to at night as well.

People of Alexandria and all other hungry people near by considering to eat here, please take heed to the 1 star reviews and do not come here!
I too am a victim of this restaurants shady practices and feel robbed of my hard earned money and dignity.
I was at Home Depot down the street from this restaurant after a long day of work. I wanted pupusas so I googled pupusas and this place came up. Blinded by hunger I did not see the reviews before calling in an order of 4 pupusas to go (take out). The lady over the phone didn’t tell me how much nor how long it would take. Once at the restaurant the lady asked for my card and still didn’t tell me how much it would be. I didn’t think anything of it and gave her my card not knowing it would cost me greatly. As she was swiping my card, and forever changing my concept on pupusas prices, I thought to myself how much could it be, $11 perhaps if the pupusas are around $2.50 each like most restaurants. She then gave me my card back, but did not give me a receipt, so I kindly asked her “could I have a receipt please” in Spanish to avoid any confusion. She seemed reluctant, but gave it to me anyway. To my surprise the 4 pupusas came out to almost $20!! That’s absurd!! And to say the receipt was vague is an understatement. Now, the pupusas weren’t bad. The curtido had little to no flavor and they gave a little cup of sauce that did not taste good. Nonetheless, not worth it. Go to pupusa loca on Duke st and order huge pupusas for that price. Actually, for $20 order take out from red lobster down the street. Now, as for the sopa de gallina, lomo saltado or even the pretty girls that these “five star” reviews are raging about I can’t speak on but definitely don’t think it’d be worth going here for. Thanks but no thanks Aliyah Hall

Where do i begin. Food is terrible. Everything is served in paper plates, coffee is in a styrofoam cup, sugar is in food prep bottle, and the whole place looks like my aunties living room. Literally, anyways i digress. Customer service was okay up until the DJ said in spanish, You animals don’t like my Christmas music ?! At his DJ stand beyond drunk… because he had been drinking at the bar the whole time we were there. Both the food and staff terrible, but i think if i had to choose which was the worst. It was the food. Lastly, they are charging 11% tax on your food, charging 15% tip on the total amount after tax, and their receipt? No itemization. When i asked for an explanation on the 11% she said thats the tax they charge everyone, its standard.

I have been here many times. Milton and Ziayah always treats us well and it’s has the best drinks. Food is delicious and the vibe is the best if you’re looking to have a family dinner on the weekdays or a night out with great music on the weekend. Come here to experience the peak of Latin culture

This is possibly the worst restaurant I have been in my entire life. And I know for sure no other restaurants in the world are as bad as this.
1) food quality
————————-
We ordered a meal, but the rice had a soap-like smell, which we pointed out to the server. Despite our complaint, nothing was done to address the issue, and we couldn’t eat the rice. The salmon was also poorly cooked and unappetizing. My wife requested water, but the glass had small black particles in it. When we asked for a new glass of water, they brought back the same contaminated water.
2) bill fraud
———————
When it came time to pay, we noticed that the bill was much higher than expected. We had ordered items priced at $14 and $18, but the total came to $53. Upon requesting an itemized bill, we found that the prices had been changed from what was initially shown. They claimed the menu we saw was outdated. They refunded $5, but after leaving, I realized that even the corrected total was incorrect and should have been less than $40. Instead, I ended up paying $48, which included an $8 surplus.
3) dirty and smelly
———————————
The restaurant was noticeably unclean, and the smell of smoke permeated the air.
4) communication
——————————-
The server struggled to communicate and understand our requests, which made the dining experience even more frustrating.
Overall, this was a terrible experience. The quality of the food, cleanliness of the restaurant, and service were all subpar. I strongly advise potential customers to be cautious and double-check their bills if they choose to dine here. I hope the management takes serious steps to improve their service and transparency.
