I have nothing to compare it to except Mexican or text mex and it was differently delicious. My wife had the spinach enchiladas and I had the salvadorian plate. Tiny hole in the wall type place in a tiny strip center. Worth finding!!!

What a great place for lunch and Salvadorian food! Great food, friendly staff, nice atmosphere, easy to find from the street, plenty of parking. I highly recommend the salvadorian plate, pork & cheese pupusa and green pozole.

Delicious lunch in Abilene! A great small restaurant with amazing food. Enjoyed the El Tipico with a jalepeno and cheese pupusa. Also had a big glass of horchata.

Divey family owned restaurant. Highly recommend for yummy Salvadoran food, made fresh & hot, as well as Mexican foods. Four or five soup options for this winter weather, too! Expect mismatched chairs & booths in this humble restaurant with great service & wonderful food. You will not be disappointed.

I completely enjoyed my breakfast here. I ate the cactus and eggs. Don’t be afraid to try new things. They have regular food here too. The handmade corn tortillas are the best I have had in years. I enjoyed it so much I ordered other food to go. I only wish I was staying in Abilene longer so I could try their entire menu.
