Co-Owner

El Comalito Criollo is a family-owned restaurant run by sisters Ayesha and Ashley. Every pupusa is hand-formed and griddled to order, the curtido is made fresh, and every recipe is made with love.

"Comalito" is the little griddle our food never leaves. "Criollo" is everything that makes it ours — Salvadoran through and through, made with passion and built to stay.

We built this from passion and a dream, and we're going to make it something special.
