If you want to have authentic, no frills El Salvadorean food where the neighborhood folks go, then this is your place. It is located on Columbia Pike on your way to Bailey’s Crossroads. Easy parking and never too crowded. The wait staff is friendly and most of the customers are spanish-speaking.

The food is delicious, though a little greasy, but it’s obvious that this place ain’t for the health-conscious. When you first sit down, you are given a complimentary basket of fried yucca with a dipping sauce. Totally yummy! Also, the horchatas (mexican rice milk drink) are AMAZING!

Expect to hear spanish music playing or spanish daytime talk shows blaring on the television sets, making the place all the more authentic. And best of all, this place is CHEAP, CHEAP, CHEAP.
