This place was a nice find! Very large eating spaces with a lot of table size choices! A few TVs for sports viewing! Even had a bar with seating. The staff were very authentic and sweetly attentive! My grilled steak was quite tender and tasty! the refried beans were actually some of the best refried beans I've ever had! The rice was tasty as well! I strongly recommend if you crave Honduran, Mexican, El Salvadoran , Guatemalan, or even Costa Rican dishes! You won't be disappointed!!! Street parking! Clean restrooms! read more

Really looked forward to eating at La Cabana's on my birthday Jan 12th. Mari seated us and was extremely attentive. Food was very disappointing. All the meat was overcooked. Tamales were great and both my wife and I said "we should try again"! We both were disappointed, but maybe the cook had a bad day. I liked the Ambience as well as the service. The food was totally unimpressive. read more

La Cabaña is just a fun experience. It looks and feels like you're walking into someone's home to have dinner with them. Everyone here (me) is ready to stuff their face, kick back with a modelo, and watch some soccer, which you will find on TV no matter what time of the year you walk in. This menu is huge. If you don't have any familiarity with South American food, you should look up the pictures on here ahead of time. But no matter what you do, you have to order a few papusas. These disks are stuffed with all sorts of flavors, and come with an awesome cole slaw to balance it out. The entrees are an EXPERIENCE too. I've gotten the molcajete a few times, and it is packed to the brim with everything that you could possibly want. Carne asada , chorizo , cheese , nopales (I didn't even know that I wanted this) , and much more is served piping hot with tortillas on the side. I love coming here, and I'm looking forward to the next time I can come back to try something new. read more

Was meeting friends for lunch Sunday one of the was visiting from the east coast and was staying in the Greenwood area and suggested meeting here. So glad he did cause I really wouldn't have known about it though a few days after we decided to meet here it was on a list of best places to eat. Our friend visiting had been here a couple years ago while attending graduate school. First off just want to say the service is friendly and patient for most first timers making decisions on protein and type of tortilla. We did family style with an app and two entrees glad we didn't go with three like my friend fellow yelper Brian C suggested. Out order: Plato Guanaco (El Salvador): 1 pupusa, 1 tamale, 2 pastelitos, yuca, chicharrones, and deep-fried ripe plantain. Garnished with pickled slaw and pico de gallo, El Casado (Costa Rica): We selected chicken as our protein. Served with rice, beans, fried sweet plantains, pico de gallo, freshly made tortillas, and pickled cabbage, Molcajete (Specialty of the House) This traditional dish comes to you from Mexico. We layer carne asada, chorizo, nopal, queso fresco, avocado slices, and one jalapeno in a steaming hot molcajete stone. We top this delicious dish with our house-made spicy red sauce. It is served with rice, beans, and freshly made tortillas. I would probably try something else over the El Casado next time it was good but not as different as the other dishes. I'm a big fan of pupusas and the Plato Guanaco is a great intro to Salvadorian food. Flavors were on point and it had a variety of textures comes with the traditional pickled cabbage which is always nice helps brighten things ip and cuts through the richness of some of the proteins. The Molcajete os a very impressive dish presentation wise and tasty. Takes a little more effort as you'll need to cut up some of the vegetables and protein but the sauce is so full of depth and flavor. I had never had anything like it before one of our friends had it in Mexico and suggested it. Come out bubbling in a stone bowl. We were too full for dessert but I'm sure what they offer was probably good. I took a bus but there is large parking lot. Two, six and four top tables. Believe there is a bar but we were in the main part of the restaurant. They had a steady flow of customers flowing in and out which was great to see. Definitely will be back if in the area. read more

Their food literally blew me away. I came out of the restaurant a different person, fuller and way way happier. It's one of those dining experiences that left me wanting to hug the people that made the food and they're a small family business which made it even better. We really didn't know what to expect going in and went by pictures and descriptions to put our orders in since we aren't very familiar with Honduran/El Salvadoran food but we we're not disappointed. The Plato Guanaco was essentially a sampler platter of a bunch of different items: Papusa, Tamale, Pastillos, and Plantains. I kid you not when I say that everything was the best version of that thing that I've ever had. Flavors 10/10, textures 10/10, freshness 10/10. It's quite insane. We also shared a plate of the Bistecca which initially looked like the meat would be dry but we're so wrong. Tender and flavorful, the meat paired so perfectly with the rice that was full of different beans and the fresh corn tortillas on the sid were so warm and soft while super thick. Food was so heavenly and portion was great. Service was also sweet. Really a MUST if you're in the area. Heck even if you're not, travel there cause it'd be worth it. read more

We went to La Cabana on Thanksgiving, 11/27/25 around 8 PM for a family dinner, and honestly, it ended up being one of the best decisions we made that day. We weren't sure what to expect since it was a holiday and places can be hectic, but the moment we walked in, everything felt relaxed and welcoming. Nicole, our server, set the tone right away. She was unbelievably kind, patient, warm, and just really genuine in the way she took care of us. She checked in on us multiple times, made sure we had everything we needed, and even gave us suggestions that ended up being some of our favorite dishes of the night. It's rare to get service that feels personal without being over the top, but she balanced it perfectly. The rest of the staff was also friendly, and the place itself was super clean and cozy, which made our Thanksgiving dinner feel even more special. We ended up ordering a little bit of everything because their menu has so many different Central American dishes, flavors from Honduras, El Salvador, and all over. You can tell the food comes from people who know their roots, because everything was packed with flavor. The Chips con Salsa were fresh, crispy, and the salsa had that perfect kick. The Frijol con Queso was creamy and comforting, the kind of dish you just keep going back to. The Tamales de Pollo were honestly out of this world, soft, perfectly seasoned, and probably some of the best tamales we've ever had. We also tried the Margarita with the maracuya add-on, which was refreshing in the best way. The Revueltas pupusas were cheesy, filling, and full of flavor, and the Tilapia Frita came out with that perfect crisp on the outside while still being tender inside the seasoning was just perfect. The Camarones Rancheros had bold, rich flavors that stood out, and the Frijoles Fritos tied everything together like comfort on a plate. Even the smaller items felt thoughtful and well-prepared. What impressed us most was how fast everything came out, and it was all hot, like actually hot, not lukewarm or rushed. And the portion sizes were huge, more than worth what we paid. Even on a busy holiday, the food felt homemade, like someone was really putting love into every dish instead of just sending it out quickly. That mix of speed, quality, and comfort is something you don't find everywhere. By the time we were done, we were stuffed, happy, and honestly surprised at how much we enjoyed the whole experience. It didn't just feel like a dinner, it felt like a really warm, relaxed celebration with good food and good people. We walked out already planning when we'd be back. A huge thank you to Nicole for making our Thanksgiving dinner feel so special. She truly made the night for us, and La Cabana definitely earned a spot on our list of places to return to. read more

This might have been hands down the best latin food I've ever had! The meat was tender, everything was made fresh to order, and somehow across half a dozen completely different dishes every single one of them was the best version of that dish I've ever had. Coming here was really like being fed mouthfulls of joy and happiness. I really haven't had such a wonderful meal in a long time! Service was really nice and the interior cool and clean. I'll be back here everytime im in seattle! read more

Was rec'd this place by many locals and I was a big fan! Maybe I was just super hungry post hike (also a certified big back, in general), but I inhaled everything on the plate and thought everything worked super well together. My homie had a very different experience, however. He ordered the "bandeja centroamericana" and wasn't a fan of how dry everything tasted. Maybe it was just his taste buds, maybe that's just how the dish is supposed to be... either way I ended up eating the majority of his plate, too lmaooo. read more

Our friends raved about this restaurant (and their pupusas) and so we had to check it out and have eaten here twice with them so far. Our entire table just orders pupusas because they're so good, especially with the pickled cabbage slaw and salsa on top. Just two of these will fill me up easily. I'm hoping that one day I'll venture through the rest of the menu but the pupusas are gonna be too hard to pass on! read more

Our go-to for authentic pupusas. Their selection is great, loroco and the bean and cheese is my favorite when the cheese oozes out all crispy. Their aqua frescas are so refreshing and different. Their passion fruit and tamarindo is so good and has a special flavor you can't find anywhere else. The service is amazing, primarily Spanish speaking but that is not a problem. Just point to what you want. The old restaurant is tight and snugged but it's great to walk in and see it filled up. They recently expended next door too. The parking is small but perfect for this restaurant. I love their tamales as well. So fresh and just how I like it, the Salvadoran way. read more

Incredible!! I grew up eating pupusas and the revueltas (bean/cheese/chicharron) here are to die for. Bonus that the staff are so kind and welcoming. Ambiance is very mom-and-pop, and most of the dishes are large so I recommend ordering family style. Note that even though they offer tacos/burritos, this isn't a quick-service taqueria so expect lengthy sit-down wait times (but everything comes out piping hot so it's worth it!). Stopping in for lunch, we wanted to sample a variety of items so we ordered the Plato Guanaco. All the items were good, but the chicken tamale and pupusa revuelta were highlights. Since they specialize in Honduran cuisine, we also ordered the Salpicon. This was on the drier side, but it tastes great mixed with the house spicy salsa. It comes with homemade corn tortillas (not pictured), which were fresh and delicious. Overall I highly recommend La Cabaña for lunch, and I'll definitely be back to try their breakfast! read more

Wowow if you're ever craving all the Central American foods at once, this is the place for you. It's a basic diner with a little parking lot. I came for weekend lunch. When we got there, the place was empty, but as we sat and ate, the place filled up extreeeemely quickly. By the time we left, there were multiple groups waiting for a table. The space is small and gets pretty loud. I could tell the servers got really busy towards the end of our meal as well. We ordered a carne asada plate and a shared plate of assorted appetizers. The carne asada plate was fire. Beef was tender, rice was light and kinda coconut-y? Tortillas were fresh and hot. From the assorted appetizers, my favorite thing was by far the tamale. It's a lot more moist and fluffy. There's a lot of masa compared to filling but it was so yummy. Everything else was good too! But not standouts. Overall, this is a super solid place for a good variety of foods. The prices are also super reasonable and the portions are fat. Service was a little slow, but understandable. Would come again for sure! read more

This place is my new obsession. We enjoyed phenomenal Central American food in a lively, comfortable environment that made us feel just like family! - Bandeja centroamericana: meaty deliciousness enough for 2 people! But as an entree, it was unbalanced because everything was salty and rich. - Pollo frito (with dark meat): my current favorite restaurant dish ever!! Juicy tender chicken with a light creamy sauce perfectly balanced by mild starchy banana - Atole de elote: warm, creamy comfort in a cup, with soft little corn kernels that give a slight bite. There is a small parking lot out front and nice restrooms in the back. Come early because tables fill up! This is a great place to bring the whole family, but it's also perfectly acceptable to come alone and just order their delicious pupusas! read more

This is by far the best South American restaurant I have found in all of Seattle! I found them on Yelp's 2023 list of best restaurants in America, and La Cabaña certainly deserves their spot! https://www.yelp.com/article/yelps-top-100-us-restaurants-2023 My group ordered the "carne asada (Honduras)" for $26.99, two El Casado (Costa Rica)" for $23.50 each, and a dish in a hot pot. The meat was flavored perfectly, the plantains had the perfect texture, and the refried beans were the first refried beans I've been impressed with since I left New Mexico! I would recommend this restaurant highly to anyone, but especially to foodies looking for quality food in Seattle from Central/South America. read more

Food is amazing - I tried the El Casado with chicken. Everything on the plate was tasty. The chicken was thin but juicy, the rice was flavorful, the beans were a great complement to the overall dish. I would definitely get this again! The flavors were authentic and though the plate looked huge, I didn't feel overstuffed after. The vibe is pretty casual. The service was quick. Would come back! read more

I've tried to write a review for this place a few times, and honestly I can't describe it with the literary composure it deserves, so here's the basics - Food is good, not Mexican, so if that's your thing, not here. I don't know Central American cuisine, but what is served here is delicious, I've been here almost a dozen times, and I come out full, satisfied, demanding more, the next time, because the portions are wonderful and almost too much. - Ambiance is a dive, so not romantic, not sexy, not refined, just honest decor, honestly people, lovely, loud.. if you want a date night the is all about having a fun time, with good food, surrounded by energy, then this is your place. The place is clean, well kept. Every plate and silverware was clean, so nothing to detract from the person next to you, and the food on your plate. Service... the people there, great, they come by and also leave you alone, to enjoy your meal, they check on you, and make sure you are doing well. The food take a while to come out, but the servers are always available to give you an update if it's taking longer. It's my neighbor joint, and I'm blessed to have it here... to the jealously of my co-workers who live on the east side. Worth the drive, depends, but being selfish, I prefer this stays a local gem, because it is. read more

The food was amazing. I honestly never had a tamale that good before. The masa was moist and loaded with flavor. It had large pieces of chicken inside. I also had a couple of tacos which were also very good. The restaurant was divided with a nice full bar on the other side. Service was very good as well. I can't wait to stop in again and continue exploring the menu. As it approached closing time there was no pressure or feeling like we had to hurry because the bar on the other side was busy and you can see that they weren't leaving anytime soon. Take your friends or family out for a amazing meal. They have a parking lot too ! read more

Family favorite! We have been faithful customers since the restaurant opened- the staff is always friendly and the food is always hot and flavors are comparable to Salvadoran traditional food. They have recently expanded and taken over the space next door, the wait times are shorter and easier to accommodate large groups. read more

Amazing food! Everything we ate was delicious and had so much flavor. The tortillas were fresh and handmade and my chicken was cooked perfectly--juicy and not dry at all. We had a party of 3 and came at around 6pm on a Saturday. The parking lot was full but we were able to find street parking nearby (it's free!). It was definitely busy and there isn't really a place to wait for a table inside but we only had for wait for around 10 minutes. There are a few bar seats in addition to table seats. They don't take reservations and there isn't a sign up paper once you get there. We just made eye contact with one of the waitresses and let her know that we'd be waiting outside. They're very busy (including preparing takeout orders) but everyone was very friendly! They were attentive with refilling our waters and my partner's beer. The food took a while to come out but we were there with a friend so it gave us time to catch up. I got the El Casado, my partner got the carne asada and a pupusa, and my friend got the molcajete. Everyone said their food was amazing. The prices seem a bit expensive at first but you get so much food and again, everything was seasoned well and cooked to perfection. They provide a spicy sauce (that's actually spicy!) and a mild sauce in squeeze bottles too. I will note that I had ordered some pastelitos that never came so my friend and I were getting pretty hungry while my husband was snacking on his pupusa before all of our entrees arrived. Because it's a small space, it gets pretty noisy. If you're sensitive to noise, it's definitely somewhere to bring noise-cancelling headphones or earbuds. Overall, a great experience and definitely somewhere I'd go for special occasions with a chill, home like atmosphere. read more

Oh my word, I would give this six stars if I could. Everything was simple but filled with so much flavor!!!! Upon entering, the restaurant is bustling with people which was a clearly good sign. Casual but lively which is our style! We started with the pupusas (chicken and zucchini), then I got the El Casado with chicken. You know how chicken can be seen as the less flavorful option? Well not here. The chicken was tenderized and INCREDIBLY flavorful. My husband got the Bistec Encebollado. He said the flavor of the beef was out of this world. The tortillas came fresh and homemade and the sides were all incredible. I also very much enjoyed the cocktails! Service was great, our server helped us pick out entrees since it was our first time. We have made plans to come back this weekend - I am bringing friends! You will get hooked if you eat here. read more

One of the best Latin American food in Seattle! The taste, style of cooking, ingredients are very close to my heart. Pupusas were amazing, and carne asada, it's incredibly juicy and cooked to perfection.

I will go back for the food if I'm in the area. read more

I had a random urge for pupusas and decided to give La Cabaña a try. I placed a takeout order in person and received excellent and friendly customer service. I wound up getting 2x pupusas with chicharron and cheese (which comes with some tangy slaw and not-so-hot sauce). Everything was fresh and tasty. The pupusas had a nice grill on the outside while still gooey within. I also got a "breakfast" platter of fried plantains with refried beans and cream, El Salvador style. Everything was cooked to perfection as well. Loved how the plantains weren't overly fried but had a still had a slightly crispy edge while still soft and sweet inside. The beans and cream were a great balance for the sweetness. The only hiccup was they almost forgot the drink I ordered but luckily I did before I drove off. Altogether I was able to get one dinner and one lunch out of my order. The prices were pretty standard and they had a convenient parking lot. Will definitely be back in the future. read more

Great pupusas!! We have tried every single type they have and they are all delicious! Recommend the chorizo/cheese, chicharon/cheese and the spinach/cheese for vegetarians. These are large pupusas and served with curtido. 2-3 per person is perfect for us. We have been meaning to try more of their other menu items but turn to pupusas each time. The space is on the small side and seem to be pretty filled every time we are there, often times with families. We usually do take out and food has always been done on time! The staff is pretty friendly. Recommend a try! read more

Wonderful food from Central America. Wish they would open in the south end of Seattle.

We had a wonderful lunch here this weekend. The service was incredible. All of our service staff was friendly, attentive, and welcoming. We didn't order much but what we eat was delicious. The bean and cheese pupusa was so tasty and the slaw with it was a perfect pair. Definitely get yourself a house margarita too! read more

Would recommend this place to anyone! We've had some Central American food before but never like this. Everything was made with such quality and care, and we really enjoyed the homey feel of the restaurant and staff. We ordered the bistec encebollado (nicaragua) and plato guanaco (el salvador). The bistec comes with homemade tortillas -- we got corn -- that are so thick and almost tender. Not dry and crumbly the meat itself was delicious, and the tomato and onion sauce it comes cooked in pairs well with everything. The plato guanaco is a good option if it's your first time here, imo. You get to try a little bit of everything - the chorizo pupusa and chicharron was especially good, but we enjoyed everything on the plate. I would come back again to try other dishes! We ordered 1 plate each and there were leftovers to take home. read more
