**Meal Type:** Lunch **Price Range:** $10–$20 **Food Rating:** 4/5 **Service Rating:** 5/5 **Atmosphere Rating:** 5/5 **Recommended Dishes:** Desayuno Salvadoreño (Salvadorian Breakfast) and One of Each Pupusa I had the pleasure of dining here for lunch, and I must say, it was a delightful experience. The food was flavorful, earning a solid 4 out of 5, with the highlights being the Desayuno Salvadoreño and the pupusas, which were both delicious and well-prepared. The service was outstanding, earning a perfect score of 5; the staff was attentive and friendly, making us feel welcomed throughout our visit. The atmosphere of the restaurant also deserves a 5; it was cozy and inviting, perfect for a relaxed meal. I highly recommend trying the Salvadorian Breakfast and one of each pupusa—they're a must!

I visited this restaurant for the first time, craving pupusas, and I was not disappointed. I ordered the loroco and cheese pupusa, a tamal de elote, and horchata. The pupusa was fresh and hot, with just the right amount of cheese that complemented the blossoms perfectly without overpowering them. I did feel that there wasn’t quite enough cortido and sauce, so I’ll be sure to ask for extra next time. The tamal de elote was different from what I'm used to, but it was still enjoyable. It was larger and had a cake-like texture instead of the soft, dense texture I expected. However, it still had a nice corn flavor without being too sweet. The horchata was okay, but a bit too heavy on the cinnamon for my liking. Next time, I’ll try the tamarindo. When I'm back in Wenatchee, I definitely look forward to dining here again, as the ladies who work here were very helpful and pleasant.

The carne asada was well-seasoned, grilled perfectly, and served as a tender, flavorful cut of beef, sliced thinly as expected in this type of cuisine. The rice and beans that accompanied the tamales and carne asada were also quite tasty, particularly the beans. The tamales were well-prepared and interesting, though perhaps the least flavorful dish among what we ordered. They came with Salvadorean cheese and crema, adding to their appeal. Two standout elements of the meal really caught our attention: first, the sweet plantains were expertly cooked, reminiscent of typical Latin American style, but uniquely served with a frosting you'd expect on cinnamon rolls, making them more of a dessert than a side dish; second, the tortillas served with the carne asada were very fresh and had a distinct corn flavor. They were noticeably thicker and softer than your average Mexican corn tortilla, almost resembling a hybrid between a tortilla and a pupusa. The horchata was flavorful and on the sweeter side without being overly sweet; it was the first thing I tried, and after my first sip, I felt confident the rest of our meal would be just as great. Overall, the service was good, and everything we ate was delicious. I would recommend any dish on the menu, but the pupusas were definitely the highlight. This restaurant compares favorably to well-regarded Salvadorean and Honduran places I've visited in larger cities like Washington, D.C., and New York. I look forward to returning the next time I'm in Wenatchee.
