I feel this place is one the best restaurants I've ever seen in the different countries where I've lived. The food: it's supper, both the Salvadoran food and the Cuban food. You can find there whatever you want. In my case, I love the tostones with shrimp and melted cheese. The service: it's great. If you go there often like me, you'll feel a family atmosphere from the employees, the people that go there, and even the chefs and the owners. The place is clean. The prices are are very good, what else can you ask for? Give it a try and you won't regret it, Esteban...
