Margaritas are delicious
Jean S.

I have ordered a handful of items from the menu and they never disappoint. The food is always tasty and fresh. I only have a picture of the margarita which I highly recommend. friendly staff and excellent service.

Menu

Amazing food and huge portions size. The Plato Guanaco wax enough for 2. Will be back next time we come to Seattle.

A happy man with papusas
Nate H.

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.

Plato de Pollo Asado A La Parrilla (Nicaragua)

Wonderful selection of Central American platos. Friendly staff, very attentive. Thursday evening and lots of customers en familia. See my photos and captions for the good eats. My niece lives close by and comes here frequently. ¡Maravillosa!

El Casado (Costa Rica) with Chicken
Wendy K.

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.

Plato Guanaco (El Savador)
Ploy N.

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.

Camarones Rancheros
Kulwinder J.

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.

Fresh corn tortillas!
shayan j.

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!

Phillip P.

Definitely an experience in Latin cuisine from all different parts of South America. The dishes Definitely felt different from a Mexican restaurant and the atmosphere felt like a bar. The menu was split by the country's and had bar menu also.

Carne Asada (Honduras)
David H.

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.

Passion fruit and tamarindo
Vic A.

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.

Salpicon (Honduras)
Cari L.

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!

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!

There was plenty of parking near the location. When you enter, you see the restaurant half which is a lovely, cozy space that can seat many customers of all party sizes. They have a section for napkins, utensils and to go boxes too. If you go to the left, that is the bakery as well as small store of different goodies. They had all types of pastries, cakes, and snacks that you can choose from. The prices seem fair. When we entered the bakery side, the employees welcomed us and told us to let them know if we have any questions. Very friendly and quick service! We definitely want to come back to try their pastries, cakes, and food again. They also do have a point system that you can sign up for to get discounts and even a birthday reward too.

The tamales are a bit expensive at 6.50 each, but they're a safe food for me with my food allergies. So to me it's worth it! There are potatoes and peppers in with the chicken. The chicken was flavored well. These are gluten free and dairy free My partner had the pupusas. The chicharron was his favorite of the two as it was very flavorful. He also really enjoyed the sauce which tastes like a tomato soup flavor vs like a more traditional salsa. He wouldn't get the spinach again, but it wasn't bad. He said they were very comforting. We will be back! $25 to leave full and content.
