Delicious breakfast tacos. They make them to order so expect to take a tad longer they fire up the pan. We had several combinations of tacos and they were all large and plentiful. Will have to check them out for lunch or dinner.

Found this place on my radar for TacoTuesday and some papusas. The woman working the orders is super nice and pointed me to what I was looking for: tacos, papusas, and that yuca con chicharron. Tacos were incredible with the flavors of the carnitas and steak; papusas were steamy with the nice cheese pull. Wasn't too impressed with the yuca con chícharron; it's a bit overpriced for how much of the pork you get and I felt the yuca could use more seasoning. I also got a horchata to wash all the food down which had the perfect sweetness to it. Portions are large and it was nice to find a neighborhood spot like this. Can't wait to return for other stuff!

We were in the area for a short visit last Friday so we decided to Door Dash instead of driving around looking for a late lunch. This place turned out to be a crowd pleaser! I placed an order for a variety of pupusas and one beef fajita quesadilla to feed 4 people. The prices were fairly typical considering upcharges for certain ingredients and most restaurants having to change prices due to the numerous challenges of COVID. I specifically ordered the queso y pollo for myself, that's always been my favorite. We also got several each of queso, queso y chicharron, queso y fajita and revuelta. It took a while to arrive, especially for an off peak time. It almost seemed like they accepted the order... and then accepted again more than 20 minutes later. The menu was varied, although I would've liked to order some a la carte side items. That's probably just a limitation of Door Dash though. The food itself was a big hit, only a couple of pupusas made it to leftover status and then there was the infamous standoff in front of the fridge later where several people are demanding to know the fate of the rest. Sometimes you have to decide if you are hungry or love your family, but damn I was looking forward to more! I really loved the queso y pollo, it had the perfect ratio and texture and was top notch delicious! I wanted to try several others, but we're a bunch of animals and ended up doing zero sharing so I can't weigh in on flavor profiles for anything else. However, there were no complaints and everyone said theirs was really good multiple times. I would definitely order again, but I'll plan better and save myself a secret stash next time!
