Food is delicious! Lots of variety. Steaks in the platter was very tender and well seasoned. The Tripe/Mondongo soup was was very authentic for Central America served with vegetables, rice and tortillas, not spicy or strong gamey taste. So the Tripe is washed properly and cooked for a milder flavor. Family Friendly. Small Bar area. Decor, bathrooms and eating area was very nice and clean.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

My friends introduced me to this wonderful restaurant in Gainesville , GA. I wanted to try one of everything on the menu. I will have to return many times until I do. For starters I ordered an ice cold Modelo Especial on draft beer (or draught beer) and a Columbian shredded beef empanada. The empanada is deep fried to perfection and is stuffed with tender shredded beef. You definitely have to eat this with your hands. The beef empanada has become my favorite. I also tried a pupusa with pork and cheese. Don't forget to add the slaw and tomato sauce on top. My friend had the shredded chicken pastelito and we split a carne asada entree and still had leftovers. It comes with flavorful meat that is so tender you can cut it easily with your fork. Rice with veggies (Don't forget to add the bean paste) and slaw. The prices are reasonable and they give you a lot of food.

Great experience. Highly recommend. Got seated quickly and very friendly staff. The music was good and at a decent volume. Tried the pupusas( chicken, jalapeño, carne asada, and revuelta) carne asada was our favorite! Drink was La Sandunga, fruity and strong!
