I had never been to the restaurant and wanted to do a family reunion in Fairfield. I spoke with the owner and she was very accommodating and made sure it was to my liking. My sister had eaten there before and said the food was yummy. I was very pleased with our experience. My daughter is flying in from Chicago and taking my Mother there since we really enjoy the food and quiet atmosphere. I also love the location. Such a great little street. You really can't get a more satisfying meal for the price! Delicious and pupusas are gluten free!
Coming in around 8pm, the restaurant was nearly empty. The waitress was attentive and brought our drinks promptly. Going to this place for the first time, I ordered tacos as my litmus test.
Everything was going fine until we tried the salsa, which had no consistency to speak of. I couldn't tell you if it was good or not, as it was more like a coating I was applying to my chips, rather than a dip.
I tried both the carnitas and the asada tacos, and was not disappointed. I feel the need to point out that they are definitely Salvadoran in style.
As expected, the beef was more bland than one used to Mexican asada would expect, but the steak carried it's own flavor quite well.
The pork was very authentic for the region. Again, a far cry from Mexican carnitas, but well worth trying for that very fact. It was very sweet, tasty and soft enough to fall apart. It was also quite possibly the messiest taco I have ever had. The plate was literally drenched with marinade juice, which I used to sop the carnitas tacos in.
Not the best, but certainly worth trying again. I'm hoping that trying one of the house specials will give me better results.
My family and i have been going here for many years. I love the food. The managers and staff are always very nice. We'll eating there today. 😋
I have been going here for years now and food is always very fresh and yummy.
Give yourself plenty of time to dine here since they make your food as you order it.
Excellent authentic food. Very friendly and accommodating service. I come back here again and again. Great place to eat!
