I want my opener to be about my experience: wow am I so incredibly happy this is in the area, filling a SERIOUS void for good Mexican/Central American food in what is otherwise, a pretty sad neighborhood for those options.
Now, secondly, I'm not normally the type to read previous yelpers when I start a review, but I think it's fair to ask... seriously who orders taco salads at authentic El Salvadorean restaurants. It's clearly the menu item for your friend you dragged along with you, it's not designed to be the main feature.
Adorable family owned restaurant with family children running amok and amazing food! I ordered the taco plate (basic I know) with asada, and a pupusa, and the pupusa almost made me cry. Really soft, rich, creamy. And already not a super common menu item. To the comment that they were pre-fabricated, the manager even came out to explain to me the wait was because pupusas take some time to prep and make... maybe later in the day is a different experience? But it's great as a lunch time item. They have tamales, enchiladas, etc, all of which I'm really excited to try!
Really great flavors, really nice people, and definitely better than any other options between Green Lake to Magnuson.
