I don't know what happen to this place. This was my favorite pupusa place until today . My pupusas were not fully cooked the harina was falling out. After I told the staff a lady tells me "it's because it really depends on how people prefer their pupusa" I don't know about you guys but pupusas are not steak . I want my pupusa fully cooked not medium rare . read more

We order from La Costa Del Sol often for our office meetings. The food is always super flavorful and there is always plenty of it. Our team requests this place often because the pupusa are so delicious. The cabbage that goes on top of the pupusa is crispy and full of flavor and their salsas are very delicious as well. Highly recommend for corporate and inhouse dining. They've done a nice job of remodeling the restaurant and offering some new menu items which is a plus. read more

I had been craving this place for weeks!! Only to come and have them be nonchalant and unwelcoming. These place needs to update their hours of service. I walked in 5/8 at 8pm 2 ladies had a very unwelcoming reaction and they whispered something amongst them, so I asked if we could sit they said they were already closed. You'd think they would turn off their sign and lock the doors, and of course update their operating hours both on Yelp and google. read more

I have been to this location a few times. I love their pupusas here- it's been one of my top 2 spots I frequently visit for pupusas. Their Curtido and salsa is solid as well. I haven't tried other things on the menu besides the horchata which has a bit left to be desired- it's too watery on top and highly concentrated rice/ spice that remains on the bottom. In my last visit there, about 2 months ago, I found hair in one of the pupusas. Anyway, I would still give them the benefit of the doubt, as I have been here several times and I had anything go wrong just that one time. Their prices are reasonable and I recommend getting the lunch specials. The service is decent- about 20 minutes for walk in/ pick up orders. You have the option for casual dine in as well. read more

Got two burritos and had waaaay too much rice and hardly anything else. The rice tasted like it's been in the refrigerator for a couple days Also I wanted a regular burrito. Asada, beans, cheese, rice, and asked to add sour cream. The lady said the regular does not come with sour cream so she charged me for a super. She looked annoyed when I asked why couldn't she just add sour cream to the regular and just charge me the extra because I didn't want the GUACAMOLE, SALSA, ONION, CILANTRO. I didn't want to argue so I just said charge me for the SUPER but take out the rest of the items. Never coming here again. Food was not good. Service was not good either. read more

I got the bean and cheese one and I got the one with squash. Both pupusas were good. They were very generous with the amount of take out sauce and veggies they gave with the pupusas.

VEGETARIAN REVIEW 5 stars for food 2 stars for the staff / communication. Hubby n I noticed this place while we were here for a drive thru coffee. I quickly yelped the place n found that there were vegan n vegetarian choices. However when we were here for lunch a few days later, we walked in and asked them if they could make something vegetarian, the staff said "chicken ok?" and then i had to explain to her. Her english was pretty good though but she had no knowledge of what vegetarian was. Hubby ordered veggie burrito - easy peasy - it was on the menu. We got a free pappusa for yelp check-in. They were super yummy. I wanted to try something else n asked if they could make the fajita vegetarian. the woman checked with the chefs inside n said yes. now whn you ask for a veggie fajita most places give you sauted onion n peppers, spanish rice, refried beans, lettuce n tomato and sour cream. Here it didnt come with rice n beans. I had to order them separately ! A HUGE plate of sautéed onions n peppers with lettuce on top comes to our table n she asks me if i needed tortillas.. lol... hello?? ofcourse i need 'em! I believe the chips n salsa are free but we had to ask them! they came stale. my fajita tasted super yummy.. even the day after! So - expect some confusion if you are willing to wait for some awesome food. read more

This place is okay at best. I came here twice in the time span of a month hoping to give them the benefit of the doubt, but I just wasn't satisfied with the food both times. We walked in and ordered our food which consist of 1 al pastor burrito, 1 carne asada burrito, and 2 cheese and chicharron pupusas. Waited pretty long for my order even when it wasn't that busy. About 20-30 minutes which isn't bad, but it was dead the day that we came. Had 5 bites of my burrito and ended up not finishing it because it just wasn't tasting too great. I moved on to the pupusa and it wasn't bad, but also wasn't the best. I'd give it a 3/5 and the burrito a 2/5. Probably won't be coming back here, but the service was still good. The workers are nice which is why I have it a 3 stars instead of 2. read more

I decided to try this place out after being recommended to this place by a fellow Yelper. Since it was close to home, why not? Here's why not: 1) After checking into this place, my Yelp app said "Get a free Pupusa or Taco". I presented it to the guy (Hernando) and he tells me it's not for this place. Come again? I must be hella stupid because my check in was for La Costa Del Sol and that's the same sign that's outside. 2) The carnitas burrito I ordered was loaded with rice and beans and only a smidgen of this mystery meat that legends say is supposed to be carnitas. 3) I decided to give this place another shot after Slumdog texted me a picture of their crispy tacos for $2. We come in and place our order for 4 tacos and 2 Salvadorian Tamales and waited as they made them. And waited. Waited 25 minutes for 4 crispy tacos. Does it really take that long to make tacos? 4) Hernando starts ringing up my order and says $15.16. Lemme see....$2 x 4 tacos = $8. Add 2 $2 tamales = $12. How did it come out to $15? Hernando then tells me crispy tacos are 50 cents more. WHAT? Where does it say that? He couldn't answer as he anxiously tries to flip thru the menu trying to find something that didn't exist. Dude--my friend just came here today and got the SAME THING and he got charged $2 why are you trying to jack me? 5) The tacos were stuffed with lettuce and lacked meat. Did Subway contract with you guys? Where's the beef? 6) The Salvadorian tamales had the consistency of drywall paste. They stick a boiled chicken wing in every one with the entire bone in it. Chicken had 0 flavor also. Don't waste your time here. Your shady business tactics, your stupid Yelp check-in deal that you won't acknowledge, and your meatless tacos are lame! I'm never coming back. read more

Oh the expectations and experience I had for this place was quickly ruined as soon as the food arrived. I was so hyped up after seeing photos for the popular crispy tacos and pupusas. Let's try with the positive first. The pupusas were serviceable. Pretty good first experience for the pupusas and the cabbage and sauce were pretty good. Now the thing I was expecting to blow me away came out disappointing. The avocado/guac was browning. I'm not sure how long it's been out or anything but it was spread all over my taco and I had to try to scrap it off. Nothing serious would have happened if I had a bite, I'm sure, but visually it was so unappealing and made me lose my appetite. I might come back because of a Restaurant certificate for pupusas, but man. What a let down.. read more

Haven't been to many Salvadoran restaurants in the area, but I'm glad I tried this one. Ordered the mixed plate, an order of pastelitos, and two pupusas. The mixed plate brought a tamale, plátano, a fried egg, and a pupusa. The food was good, you can tell it was made on the spot because of long they took and how hot the food was. The pupusas were tasty and not too greasy, and so was the tamale. The pastelitos could've had a little more filling, but they were still good. Only downside was the rude cashier who seemed reluctant to take my Yelp coupon for the free pupusa. read more

My husband and I ordered super burritos and were disappointed with the flavors. Maybe because of the Salvadorian influence it wasn't for us. There were huge pieces of cilantro stems in mine and I didn't see any sour cream. The flautas were huge and hand made but pretty dry. They came on top of lettuce which would have been nice if chopped/shredded into pieces I could actually scoop on my flautas. The spicy cole slaw is not spicy and pretty dry.

I also ordered a chicken tamale (they also offer pork) and I was surprised to find a whole chicken wing (no skin) stuffed into the tamale!

After the third time this happened, I stopped calling and claiming my free one. Now I no longer order 10 and instead only get the 7 I need for my family.

Food - YUM! We…read morestarted off with ceviche and crackers. The ceviche was covered in a flavorful sauce. I ordered the Sobrebarriga En Salsa Criolla - steak with yucca in a sauce that came with a side of rice and avocado slices. It was delicious, had a nice presentation, and I definitely had leftovers at the end of the meal. For my drink, I ordered Maracuya with a milk base. It's basically a passionfruit smoothie. I liked how it wasn't overly sweet. Service - our server was friendly, did well with clearing our table. Ambiance - colorful, giving off a nice Latin flare. There were references to Columbia on the walls, and Latin music playing. We have come here previously for the empanadas, and those were delightful as well. We'll definitely be back. :-)

There's a mural toward the back hallway that's a good photo opportunity spot. SERVICE was good and no complaints there. I was able to pay separately from the group because I had to leave early. PARKING was kind of hard as it's a shared shopping plaza parking lot that's small.

Great food and friendly staff! They offer a wide variety of Central American and traditional…read moreMexican dishes. If you're craving Baleadas you must come here. Their home-made tortillas are incredible. These guys know what they're doing! I've always wanted to try white queso dip and finally found it here. It was on point. This might be the only place that serves it in California!

We've given this place way too many chances. The owner clearly doesn't care about improving…read more We usually DoorDash from here. The Pollo con Tajadas tasted like fish--clearly cooked in reused oil. When we called, they didn't offer to remake it. Today we ordered a desayuno and three baleadas. The menu clearly says it comes with eggs and even asked how we wanted them. No eggs showed up. When we called, they blamed us for ordering the "wrong" item and didn't even apologize. Hopefully they get it together, but as of today, they've lost two customers.

My husband had been craving authentic Colombian food for weeks, and since we've actually been to…read moreColombia, we definitely know the flavors and what real Colombian cuisine should taste like. Somehow he came across a YouTube ad for this restaurant and convinced me to make the drive all the way to San Jose... and wow, it was absolutely worth it! From the moment we walked in, the service was welcoming and attentive. The food? Incredible. Everything was packed with authentic flavor, beautifully presented, and honestly brought back memories of our trip to Colombia. We ordered the house specials along with a few Colombian beers, and the entire experience was just perfect. It's not every day you find a place that's worth fighting Bay Area traffic for, but this spot definitely is. Great atmosphere, delicious food, amazing service -- we will absolutely be coming back again. Highly recommend if you're looking for authentic Colombian flavor and a fun dining experience.

Colombian orange rice with chicken, bacon, sausage, green beans, peas, carrots. Served with fries and tomato-avocado salad.

Fonda Colombiana - Colombia's most iconic dish with grilled steak, rice, Colombian red beans, sweet plantain, chorizo, fried egg, avocado, and corn arepa.

Didn't dine here, but parking signage for reserved spots was unclear (marked on the ground with…read morenothing on the wall or posted sign). I had parked in one of their spaces and when realizing it was reserved only for their restaurant I came to move my car. I had not parked for more than 5 minutes. Coming out to see a worker (possibly owner?) outside taking pictures of my car and threatening to tow. The marker saying it was for Jess's Place was on the floor only. They should clearly mark it on the wall as well so its easier to see. Mind you the parking lot had 5-7 other EMPTY spaces. TL:DR Owner was quick/aggressive to threaten towing even though I was in the active process of moving my car right away.

The food is delicious and full of flavor, and the Peruvian chicken is a must-try juicy and cooked perfectly. Definitely recommend if you're craving real Peruvian food.

They said they were able to deliver on a certain amount of orders. I saw here and was quick to response. I had a family dinner of 20 ppl and gave Co Hoang a try. We did everything through text. The day of which is Saturday, 12/20/25, I was to pick up the food at 5pm. You have to text the 15 minutes before meeting them up at a parking lot. Texted and met up with them, food was still piping hot. The whole process was very smooth. What I ordered: * Small Soúp Măng Cua/Bong Bóng Cá Asparagus Crab Meat soup - $120 * Small Gỏi Sứa Tôm Thịt Ngó Sen- $50 * Small Mì Xào / Chow Mein - $50 * Chả Giò / Egg Rolls- $1.50 each * Small Bò Mông Cổ / Mongolian Beef- $60 for 3 lbs of meat * Small Cơm Chiên Cá Măn / Salted Fish Fried Rice - $55 REVIEW FOOD- Overall the food was delicious and not overly salty, so it's great for the older people's taste. Family approved and said it was good. *Soup had so much crabs, asparagus that they definitely didn't gypped you- was good *chow mein had shrimp, scallops and vegetables was good *Mongolian beef- soft and flavorful *salted fish fried rice- good but wish it be a little more flavor *VN salad- this was good! Love that it had celery, cucumbers, strips of mangoes. *egg rolls- meat fillings was good and still crunchy by layer in evening I would definitely order through them for my son's wedding next year or any other party events that I would have. So glad I found them! Service and communication is superb.

This is a mom and pop operation with no store front so you just have to meet them in a parking lot off Berryessa, which was no issue for me. I felt the prices were very reasonable and I was happy with the quality of the food!
