    You know it's good when the place is packed. I had the Churrasco and it was large and DELICIOUS. Have some Sangria and top off with their Flan and you are in Heaven. Well done, and I will be back.

    First time I am visiting this location and was blown away! Had the traditional desayuno which was finger licking goooooood. I’ve been to several Salvadoreño restaurants and I could not get over how delicious their popusas were! I bought 7 of them! I typically drive 45 min north to a local spot on commercial but thanks to this gem, I’ll be visiting this location instead. The lunch menu was a steal unbelievable they can serve this much food for $8.99!!!! The service was good just right for me. If you need someone constantly refilling your drink and checking on you ever 2mins hit up a larger chain where they’ll have plenty of staff to adhere to your needs. This is a local restaurant where you will get AUTHENTIC food for an amazing price. Already recommended this place to 3 friends. Make sure to visit.

    I can guarantee you will be stuffed by the time you walk out the door. Not only are the portions large but they are SOOOOO GOOOD! The wait times are a little longer than average but so take that into consideration. But overall the food is definitely worth the wait.

    El mejor de los Atlakat! Make sure you're okay with a crowded restaurant, this place is always packed for a good reason. Delicious, nutritious food, good service and affordable. Highly recommended for authentic hispanic food lovers. If you notice I didn't post any pictures of the food it's because we ate our pupusas as soon as it hit the table. 5 stars!!

    This restaurant does not disappoint. Delicious El Salvadorian food. Everything I've tried so far here is pretty good. It's small but usually getting a table has not been an issue. The waiting service needs some work which is why I gave it 4 stars. But I definitely recommend if you enjoy eating and trying Latin foods.

    This is a traditional Hispanic restaurant that offers great food choices and Cuban coffee. The portions are huge,the prices are very low and the flavor of the food is delicious! the staff members are very friendly and knowledgeable about their menu. The restaurant looks is ok, nothing fancy but their restroom needs an upgrade like ASAP!

    I’m here on vacation, and a lot of things have changed. My family took me out for breakfast and introduced me to this restaurant. The food? On point. Breakfast, lunch and dinner available? Yes. The coffee? Delicious. The service? On point. I’ll be back for sure.

    Went around 7pm for a party of 6- no wait time, friendly staff, and a lively ambiance. Food portions are big, which the family loves to see. The appetizer was the Especial Atlakta Carne Pollo Camarones and that had us close to being full. I ordered myself a bistec encebollada paired with white rice and frijoles (red beans). In the end, this place had us leaving with a bunch of to-go containers.

    Great food, great service! Staff always on the go and practice good customer service. We had a great experience there. They were very conscientious of our wait time, and we’re very generous. Plenty of variety of food and great prices. Good for take out or dine in. Will definitely return.

    As always, their food is phenomenal. My favorite is the pupusas de chicharron, they are flavorful without being greasy. And their curtido is second to none!

  • 5/5 Tousignant K. 6 months ago on Google
    Excellent cuisine and service! Employees are always moving and provide excellent customer service. There, we had an amazing experience. They were very mindful of the time we had to wait, and we are quite giving. Excellent rates and a wide choice of meal options.

  • 5/5 Chris “mrchrisbeasley” B. 10 months ago on Google
    Grilled fish and shrimp was good, However for the extra $5 they charged to have the shrimp added to the fish I was severely disappointed with the fact that it was ONLY 2 pieces of shrimp. I could have bought more shrimp for $5 at the store with the spice on them and cooked them on my own. So I would recommend the grilled fish just not paying to have the grilled fish and shrimp. In my opinion not worth it.

    Delicious food, it's not too expensive either. The portions are amazing as well. I get the children's size, and I still feel full always. The sampler is my top pick. I can't get enough of the rice.

  • 5/5 Carlos s. 1 year ago on Google
    100% authentic food!!! Excellent service. I come here very weekend. Very addictive.

  • 5/5 Abigail M. 1 year ago on Google
    A great location to sit down with family for some authentic food. We had the sampler, some beef soup, and a Nica breakfast con Carne. Everything was tasty and the prices are good compared to other similar restaurants. It was full on a Sunday morning but worth the small wait for the table.

  • 5/5 Erik G. 1 year ago on Google
    I love this place. When I am in the mood for sweet corn made tamales or pupusas I go here. Their chicken tamales are also fire. Service is always good. Ladies are super nice and attentive. It does get very packed, so order ahead to avoid the wait.

    First time. Some plates are too big. I ordered Lomo salteado, meet was soft but more quantity than quality. Overall ok. Room for improvement. Waiters seem nice. Place seems clean.

  • 5/5 Oscar G. 2 years ago on Google
    I like the food and service. Food is great and very affordable. Generous food size. Good taste.

  • 3/5 Telma M. 2 years ago on Google
    The food was delicious and the service excellent. The only complaint was that we were charged $16 for service fee. It was 5 of us me my husband and my three babies. At least give people a heads up before they choose where to seat.. it's going to be the last time we visit this restaurant. Unbelievable
