Shrimp tacos in mole sauce are served on handmade pasilla chile corn tortillas, alongside grilled organic sweet potatoes served over scratch-made sopes with charred red peppers and guajillo romesco sauce. Appetizers include Nicaraguan-style fried cheese with crispy green plantains, yuca balls stuffed with cheese served with huancaína sauce, and empanadas filled with Certified Angus Beef or guava and cream cheese. The restaurant also offers an "Okonomiyaki à la Latin," a Salvadorian dish made with handmade corn tortilla stuffed with soft white cheese and pork chicharron, topped with local organic egg and curtido salad.

The business began as the ASADA Food Truck in August 2012 before opening its brick-and-mortar location.
