They are open until midnight and have a variety of foods that are already in a steam table prepared so you can eat quickly or you can order off the menu. The daughter is Naomi and she was our server and speaks English. I know a few words in Spanish, enough to order my food, but thankfully, Naomi spoke perfect English. It is a small place with a small parking lot. If you are looking for ambience, this is not an elegant restaurant, but more of an authentic feel. While we like elegance, we much prefer this home style experience. The service was quick, it was wonderful, and very helpful. They have juices made on premise. I had guava, and my husband had soursop. That cow foot stew was one of the best I have ever had anywhere. This is a little gem in Reading and in walking distance of the Santander arena and the Doubletree Hotel. This is a perfect spot if you happen to get into town late because most of the restaurants close very early. We arrived a little after 8 PM, and many things were already shut down and shuttered. El Tronco de Lily's to the rescue.

I was in Reading for a soccer game today and was looking for a place to eat afterwards. As I was…read morelooking on Yelp, I found Olocuilta and decided to give it a try! The restaurant was practically empty when we went in, and when the waitress came over to take our order, I asked her what she recommended. She told me that any of the pupusas were fantastic, the pechuga de pollo, or the carne asada; however, she told me that I should order la especial de La casa if I wanted to try a little bit of everything, so of course I had to go with that. When I looked at the picture given on the menu, it looked like it came with carne asada, a pupusa, and some vegetables. When I got it tho, it was loaded with almost everything on the menu! I'm not sure if it normally comes like this, but it was outstanding! Both the chicken and steak were cooked perfectly, the rice and beans were delicious, and served along side of a cream sauce, some fresh cheese, and avocado. But that wasn't it! Then another plate having some vegetables, a meat and cheese pupusa, and a tamal came out! I was definitely overwhelmed by the amount of food, but I wasn't complaining!! Everything was so delicious and I didn't leave anything behind! This all cost $16, which is a bargain for the amount of food and the quality of the food as well! I also had to get an horchata because it was recommended to us, and it was so good! It wasn't as thick as it can be sometimes, and went down really easily! I will be dreaming of this platter of food for the next couple of days, and highly highly recommend trying Oloculita out if you're in the area!

Also, my yaroa had no cheese; the plantain was semi-green, and it contained nothing but meat, semi-green plantain, and mayo-ketchup.
