This food was delicious! Such a big portion for this price and honestly, everything was so good. If you even kind of like El Salvadoran food, this is a must have. While I was the only white person there, you definitely don't need to speak Spanish to get by (although it may be helpful if you really don't know what any of the food is). Super authentic, super good.
