I am very picky with pupusas and I work in the area so I'm always going to food trucks or other…read morerestaurants. Since I'm working near La casita, I decided to give the pupusas a try and I gave it a 5 stars because I love how their pupusas are evenly made. They are so perfect! This is my second time purchasing some. I will be back and recommended to people this place.

Found this spot through Yelp and after reading all the great reviews, I decided to give it a try…read more One encouraging sign when I first walked in was that the place was pretty full, which told me I came to the right place. I ordered three chicken and cheese pupusas, and they were a great size. I was nearly full after the first two. The flavor was on point. My apologies for my photo because I was already halfway through my third pupusa before I remembered to snap a picture. I also tried the corn tamale, which my wife and I enjoyed a lot. On top of that, I ordered a steak taco, which unfortunately didn't make it into a picture either because I ate it too fast. What stood out to me was the "shell." Instead of the usual flour or corn tortilla, it uses the same masa dough as the pupusa, and I really enjoyed that difference. We finished our meal with the nuegados en miel dulce, something I had never tried before. I was glad I did because it was delicious and a great way to end the meal. Overall, the food and experience were excellent. If you are like me and rely on Yelp reviews to decide where to eat, I highly recommend giving La Casita Pupuseria & Market a visit. You will be well pleased like I was.

The staff were friendly and quickly seated our party of five in one of the corners where we could easily talk. The complimentary chips and salsa were a welcome starter and then we ordered tamales, a children's chicken tender meal, chicken enchiladas and beef chile rellenos. All the food came out at the same time and it was reasonably quick too. The portions were generous and full of flavor. I really enjoyed the beef in the chile rellenos and the mild spice throughout. The enchiladas were well cooked and the chicken was tender and moist. While not the cheapest food around, it was certainly filling and a good value. I would definitely come back here.

I am so glad that the other bar I was planning on visiting was closed for a private event, because…read moreI probably would not have stumbled upon this wonderful bar/restaurant. The restaurant is located on the second floor of a "random" building, so it might be a bit difficult to find unless you are in the know. Although there were not many folks during my visit, the restaurant gives off a very strong Colombian flare. I originally stopped by to get a drink, but I ended up trying the caserito, which was sort of a combo meal. This meal included a delicious soup, a beer filet, beans, rice, and a small salad. It was quite the meal for only $14 bucks. I do not remember the name of the bean-based soup, but it was out of this world delicious. For $14 bucks, I thought the portions were quite generous. The service was pretty good. Since the bartender/waitress did not speak much English, dining here gave me the perfect opportunity to practice my Spanish. I definitely hope to return in the near future to try more items off of the menu and maaaaybe sing karaoke.

You just have to find parking on the side of the street or a small public parking behind the restaurant.

The queso was good, but we would have preferred that chorizo. The waitress didn't check back with us until dinner was served so we didn't have time to add it. The tuna crudo was good, but too much sesame going on there and it took away from the deliciousness of that tuna crudo. I would give it a 3 out of 5. Now for the real deal...the birria was outstanding. The brisket meat comes in the consommé and is absolutely amazing. You have to get this! The carne asada was also the bomb! The steak was cooked perfectly to medium rare as we ordered it and the crust was so good you didn't need any of the sauces. I ate the steak separately and saved the rest to eat as sides with that super spicy jalapeño. Everything on the dish was worth the $45. With the last two dishes as good as they were, this place is a 5 star restaurant all day long. It's with the drive and the restaurant is clean and runs like a well oiled machine.

I have been hearing nothing but amazing things about Cielo Rojo so I finally went with my friend…read morewho had been several times before. We had a somewhat last minute reservation at the bar high tops, but the only downside was the table was a little small, and we ordered a lot of food. To start, I got a hibiscus margarita that was delicious and refreshing. We got the tuna tostadas which were probably my favorite dish of the night, as well as the aguachiles, the enchiladas tres moles, and a chicken quesadilla. The aguachiles were just OK to me - the tostada it is served with was not a great vessel and the mole sauce went everywhere, including on my white jeans. Maybe if you love mole and fish, you would love it, but I think you can pass. The enchiladas were really good, and every sauce was different and unique. The chicken quesadilla was also quite good, but it had a lot of nuttiness to it which to me overpowered the other flavors. This was all a lot of really tasty food, but we had to get dessert too, and ordered the churros which were fantastic. Overall, I would definitely come back. I think if you don't really like corn tortillas or seeds/nuts in your food, you will not be the biggest fan, but they have so many different menu options that it is also the kind of place where everyone will find something they like.

We're still waiting to pay and we gave up on getting any drink refills. The food was fine but definitely not the best Salvadoran/Tex mex in the area. And it's a bit pricey, especially for items with beef or the tacos which apparently don't come with rice and beans. I often hear of the community support this place has and I really appreciate that. Still, we came to have dinner and with kids in tow, this sort of wait is untenable.

I think they adjusted their lighting a little bit -- it was quite dim, and from the outside it looked pitch black. My friend made a reservation for 10 (only 6 showed), but it was fine and I feel like I always sit at the exact same table haha. The staff were very kind and asked if the first to arrive wanted to wait for others, and yes... yes we did. Once everyone arrived we dove right in and everyone enjoyed everything. We had every type of sangria and some of the highlighted foods were the mejillones, platanos, empanadas, pancakes -- on wait, let me speak on the pancakes for a second. A few times when I previously came they weren't sweet potato. I forget what the reason was, but while they and the syrup were still fantastic, I really missed the sweet potato element. But that's back now, and all is right with the world YAY! The eggs benedicts, patatas bravas, datiles, French toast, and huevos rancheros were highlights too. I think it's new, but they have a note that indicates there will be a charge for excess leftover food. I wonder when they added that?? We did an excellent job of eating literally everything, and everyone was satisfied at the end. The staff did an excellent job of checking in on us, gave us plenty of time for last call, and were so diligent. Mind you it wasn't crowded... but listen, it needs to be. I believe even the owner came by asking how everything was, and wished us well on our way out. It's been around a long time... if you haven't been to La Malinche yet, do yourself a favor and go. They have happy hour on weekdays, but the bottomless brunch... it's $41/pp now. Higher than ever, but still the best deal around.
