I go here often since i live down the street my favorite is shrimp cocktail or the shrimp pupusas. Sometimes there’s a wait time but the food is freshly made and the restaurant usually has lots customers so I understand..I was short by 1.09 cents today and the lady was kind enough to let me slide i think her name was caro thank you so much
