Found the food lacking flavour, the use of disposable dishes is not my favourite, prices are good but its definitely lacking authenticity

Loved finding this little gem!! Delicious food, good portion sizes. Had the flautas and pupusas. Located in the market allows for a strong Latin feel. Will spend a little extra time shopping there next time!

What an adorable little store/restaurant, good atmosphere and amazing food...you would be hard pressed to find a more authentic Latin cuisine experience anywhere in the province I think. The restaurant prices were within most people's budget (you could likely feed a family of 4 here for $40) and the ladies were very friendly and quick. Will stop in anytime I'm through town.

You'll find the most organic and original latin food dishes at this location. Staff is super friendly and attentive. Prices are fair, the food is fresh and delicious, worth every dollar. I am glad I came across this place, one of the best ones in the country, not just red deer or Alberta.

This is the OG. Came for the second time. It was a Wednesday so it was time to try the flautas and the tostadas. I definitely liked the tostadas more, they had more meat. Top it with some valentina s and the salsa verde and you re in for a flavor bomb. The birria tacos are still my fave here but everything is very good here. Total for my flautas and tostadas with a jarritos was 28$ so not bad for a big meal

I have tried the pupusas before and loved them. So I knew I wanted them again. I wanted to try something new as well so ordered the chicken tostadas (sp?) I am so glad I did! They were absolutely fantastic! I didnt know they came 3 to an order though, so those along with the 3 pupusas I ordered were way too much food for myself. Lol. I love that this place exists so I can fill my pupusa cravings.

The pupusas are fabulous. I had friends from El Salvador I was a teen and on New Year s Eve their moms made us big trays of pupusas. I would struggle to find any as good in the years following. There were some that came close, but this, this is how you make pupusas. *chefs kiss*

Food was good, I had pupusas. Unfortunately, you get what they make for that day which usually consists of 2-3 dishes. And once they run out you miss out. I am not from Red Deer so I drove 1.5 hours to experience and missed out. Next time I will plan better. The good thing is that you can call ahead or message them in social media for their daily meals or pre-order special pastries. Also, this is a small Salvadorian grocery store with a little seating area to eat. Bathrooms not so great though.

Amazing. We were passing through Red Deer in search of some good food (as always) and we found it with bells on! First of all, the hustle and bustle of a family-run establishment adds a spark to the wonderful atmosphere theyve got here. The food was amazing. So much love in the cooking!! We browsed the grocery store before ordering and found so many goodies that we struggle to find anywhere back home. We will stop here next time we pass through Red Deer for sure!

The girl serving the food was friendly but the cashier didnt smile, instead glaring at me like what are you doing here? You dont look Latino. Also over the phone they said the lunch was a whole chicken with rice and beans for $12.99 and when I got there, it was just a chicken thigh and leg. Something got lost in translation there.
