General Impressions of the place itself: typical Latin American themes--lost of bright color , simple tables. nothing exceptional, but you are not going there for the decor --not just Mexican but Salvadorian too!
What we ordered: We love their Chili Relleno --they are the best in town. The Papusas are also outstanding..as are their Margaritas..  Plus they have a half dozen different kinds of Guacamole!
Things we liked and disliked: We love this place, there is nothing not to like  The service is always pleasant and attentive. These are real nice folk, serving up excellent food.
