In Short
Owner Irma Chavez Mischler aims to make Salvadoran cuisine more mainstream in this sister location to her mother's Kaliente restaurant in El Sobrante. Provided it's not crowde, servers let patrons choose their own table, and diners may start their Latin American meal with plantains, yucca, tamales, or a variety of pupusas (a dish somewhat similar to a quesadilla). In terms of heartier fare, dinner entrees come with tortillas, rice and beans. Drinks-wise, wine and beer are available, as is organic coffee.
Hits: Pupusas--handmade corn tortillas stuffed with vegetables, cheese, beans or pork--are a staple. Choose one of nine offerings as an appetizer, or mix and match to make up an entire meal.
Misses: While the restaurant appeals to all customers, those who've tasted authentic Salvadorian cuisine before might find most plates--and even the hot sauce--a bit bland.
