   Always a delight for us and our 4 year old - food is amazing, service is attentive but not overbearing and noise level is lively but not deafening.

   A bit over hyped new Salvadorian restaurant. Food was OK, but not special. Nothing really tasted amazing. The hype and ambiance suggested a more elevated experience and that was not the case.

   This is our second visit but we brought our friends to try this amazing restaurant. Cocktails were on point and the service was attentive & friendly. How many pupusas can a person eat? We loved each and every variety. We also had the best fried chicken in the world! So many other dishes but those were the stand outs. Can’t wait to return.

   Fantastic restaurant. Delicious and whole food. Some of the best fired chicken I’ve ever had and wonderful fully flavored dishes overall. Will certainly be back!

   The Host and the waitress were very friendly and professional. The food was delicious and the flavors were a layering of sweet, savory and sometimes had a bit of gentle heat. They sent us a delicious passion fruit flan for our anniversary. My only suggestion would be for the restaurant to expand their limited wine list. It appears that their vibe is more of a cocktail type of atmosphere.

    Every time I come here, I wonder why we don't come more often - the food and cocktail program are phenomenal, the staff is friendly and attentive, and the vibe is easy-going neighborhood restaurant with some of the most interesting seasonal menus in Oakland. And they are super family friendly; my toddler is always happy with the Salvi side plate + some handmade tortillas, but he also steals bites of everything else.
