3 /5 Alicia Taylor: I wanted to give this place a try because its one of the restaurants I havent tried here in Hiram, and Ive tried almost all of them. I tried the chicken tamales..the pupusa mixed (ground, fried pork skin beans and cheese) and the steak pupusa. Comes with a vinger style slaw and mild tomato salsa. The beef soup that came with white rice ( I chose veggie rice), diced onions, and cilantro and handmade corn tortillas. Also, the chicken taco (handmade corn tortilla)came topped with diced onions and cilantro. Came with a green sauce and spicy red sauce. The soup was decent. Needed more flavor, but the beef cuts were tender and the veggies as well. The veggie rice was ok, also lacked flavor, and was a little dry. The chicken taco was ok. The chicken had good flavor, but the handmade tortillas are VERY thick, like eating 3-4 regular tortillas at once with meat in the middle. The chicken tamales were my least favorite. Was cold all the way through. The corn masa was tender, and the masa to chicken ratio was good, but all of it lacked flavor, and the chicken was dry but could have been cause the tamales were cold. The pupusas were good. I would do the steak one again because it too lacked flavor and added it with the very thick masa, I could barely taste the meat. I did like the mixed pupusa and the slaw, though I have had better at another Salvadoran restaurant down not too far from this one. The 3 salsas were delicious. I gave this place a try, and like I said, Its not bad, just lacks flavor, and I dont like salty foods, but i do appreciate seasoned food that has good flavor. Makes me feel like they put love in it when food is seasoned properly. The service was great, and the atmosphere was pleasant as well. Id probably try something else, but Im not quite sure.
