Delicious. HOMEMADE TORTILLAS. Hard to find a place like this these days. Felt at home, the food and service alike were amazing. Food was to die for. Definitely will be returning and recommending to others! read more

Food wasn't that great. Tacos were just bite sized, compared to their prices. Pupusa's barely had any cheese, too oily, and was not cooked all the way. read more

So happy we drove past this restaurant and decided to try it. We've been getting Salvadoran food from another local spot, but La Cuchara is much better! We have ordered the Salv. breakfast (platanos, eggs, beans, crema, and some cheese) and the bean& cheese pupusa's. The platanos were perfectly cooked, not too soggy or firm and tasted delicious. The pupusas are huge, and the salsa and curtido taste fresh and tangy. It takes a while to make because everything is fresh, so especially with COVID, I suggest calling ahead to order before driving down there to wait for your food. Definitely recommend this restaurant! read more

OMG. Now *that* is a fish taco! For $4.50, you get a huge piece of fried fish (huge compared to what other restaurants give you), not battered, and lots of the standard toppings. Delicious. Friendly server. Covid shield at the counter and server wearing mask. read more

I been living in Vallejo for almost a year and have been so disappointed with Mexican food. I've tried so many restaurants and taco trucks near by and sadly nothing has satisfied me, until I found this place! I drove by one day and this is the only place I come to now for some authentic Mexican food that brings me back to an Oakland feel. The owner is super nice and welcoming, so are the staffs. read more

La Cuchara - Birria tacos $3.50 each and steak tacos $3.00 each - Mexican Near Me - Vallejo, California

Gosh, we've been in this town so many years and just found this little gem - right in front of our noses, of course. Each time I eat there food, be it take-out or eat in their outdoor area, it's a delightful dance on my tastebuds. The food is fresh and prepared to order. And PLENTY. Today, I ordered the Chicken and Vegetable Plate, and hubby enjoyed his Fried Tilapia. I can only recommend this delightful place. I feel safe there and well taken care of. read more

Owner just got his restaurant back. He made me a chimichanga even though it wasnt on the menu. Nice svc. Will be back. My new favorite Mexican restaurant in Vallejo. Try it out. read more

Ordered a burrito de carne asada and it tastes pretty good. The amount of spicyness is my favorite part. Although, I struggled picking out the fat. It had a texture of steak (very thick) and didn't even taste like carne asada. Maybe next time I'll try the chicken. read more

La Cuchara - Salvadorian Breakfast, pupusas and coffee. Desayuno Salvadoreño, pupusas de chicharrón con queso, y café. - Mexican Near Me - Vallejo, California

Best breakfast and pupusas in Vallejo. I recommend the "huevos rancheros" and "pupusas de chicharron y queso."

Unassuming place, but we loved the food. It was a cold night, and got sopa de camarones, birria and the pozole, and every single one hit the mark. Carne asada plate and fish tacos we're tasty as well. Really hard to find such authentic cuisine in the bay area (or I just don't know where to look). read more

Worse food ever plus their door dash service even worse i order food with missing items plus we call the the resturant and they tell me is not their fult if door dash dint pick up my food i say wow ...never again read more

Had a great meal. Let me start off with the "Pan con Pollo" you don't see this sandwich often. I'm used to eating it at thanksgiving with my wife's family. They did a real good job here tender chicken and fresh bread and veggies. We also had the green pozole with lime and onions and cilantro mmmm.... The pork was tender and it was good. The chicken tacos were bomb. The chicken was cut in pieces and not shredded just the way I like it. And last but not least the guy working the counter and checking on the tables (who I think was the owner) was a really nice guy and very helpful. I will definitely be back. I just found my go to Mexican/ Salvadoran restaurant in Vallejo. read more

Such great food here! The owner is super friendly and can recommend what to order if you are unsure. I absolutely love their burrito mojado and pupusas!! Fantastic read more

So I have to say that my high rate in stars is definitely for great customer service!! Me and my kids got real simple food you know like burritos, quesadilla and one taco. The food was good. The guy brought us all kinds of dips for our chips as you can see in our picture. He brought us nacho cheese, red sauce, green sauce and a semi guacamole sauce(which was bomb). I think I've seen this place there forever, it finally tried it and it was very satisfying! Thank you sir for the great service! read more

On a work assignment in Vallejo and looking for a breakfast burrito. Yelp had this as the highest rating within 5 miles. The place appears to be family run, super clean store and nice people at work inside. Pretty good burrito. The place is also a bakery with some real good looking cakes and empanadas. I will be back to try them at lunch soon, but a go to for the breakfast burrito. read more

I know Mexican food and while no one can out-do my enchiladas, this place is the real deal. My breakfast plate (eggs with nopales) was so good and their Mexican coffee was so tasty. Everything was fresh (which is harder to find these days) and their beans and rice were on point, which is always the first test. Some items on the menu may get lost in translation. For example, the Fried Chicken Tacos are really chicken taquitos. The chicken in them was a bit bland, but it was still super fresh and prepared well. The salsas were good and the gentleman that cooked and served was so nice and accommodating. He was super patient when we had a million questions about the menu and we got our food with good timing. I'm a sucker for a good Mexican breakfast so I can't wait to try more stuff. Oh and there's parking in the back, which we couldn't see at first when we pulled up. read more

My whole family has food poisoning? now we have food coming out of both wholes . We ordered pupusas and two burritos one chicken one steak and one of the baked breads and quesadillas!! GRACIAS don't come here, save your money and life read more

Really good fresh food. Their pupusas and Birria tacos were both fantastic. The staff were very pleasant and attentive.

Ordered pupusas and super nachos and am now fighting off the worst case of food poisoning I've ever had in my life.

This place blows me away every time. Unreal tamales, killer soups, atol de elote is sublime, everything is super fresh, and the guy who runs the place couldn't be warmer and sweeter. I definitely want to give them as much of my business as possible. Very very highly recommend read more

Overpriced, zero flavor and don't understand how they call themselves a restaurant. A very paper thin piece of Carne asada $14.50 with one small scoop of rice and beans. Quesadilla should have cheese that you can see stretched but it had barely any cheese and the meat had no flavor. Menudo was watered down and the tripe tasted like menudo from a can Juanita's? Even the canned menudo would've tasted better! If I did not have to leave at least the 1 star read more

YOU NEED TO GO HERE!!! I've tried many tacos around vallejo, and these are hands down the best!! The tacos have so much flavor, it as be wanting more and more. $3.50 a taco, so delicious and worth it! read more

La Cuchara - Quesabirria, the best I've ever had in vallejo - Mexican Near Me - Vallejo, California

Excellent food and service. One of the best Mexican/Salvadoran restaurants in Vallejo. Meats are well-seasoned and flavorful. Tortillas, chips, pupusas, tacos, sopes, birria, salsa, etc. are freshly made from scratch and nicely plated. Great flavor. The Salvadoran tamales wrapped in banana leaves are huge. Owner Eduardo is super nice and friendly. Ladies in the kitchen are great cooks and now there's a cute patio dining, with a dj playing music outside on Saturdays. Nice addition to have during these uncertain times. If you haven't tried La Cuchara, please do. I highly recommend. read more

First time here. Odd location in the middle of a Y in a road in a "bad" part of town. Ordered a carnitas super burrito for $10. Chips a salsa complimentary (yay). Burrito came wrapped in foil on a plate. Got about 10% into it and still no meat. Halfway through it seemed like I got a bean and cheese burrito without meat. Didn't want to send it back for fear of any kitchen retribution. Depressing restaurant/location, blah food for the price. For quality sit down Mexican go elsewhere (Molcajetes or tacos Jalisco) or to a food truck (la Piñata) for outstanding burritos. I'll give this place another try and update my review if warranted. read more

The owner and his family are wonderful people! The food is always delicious and the baked goods are yummy, too. Highly recommend the caldo de rez and pozole. read more

Great place to get some real good Mexican & Central American food. The gentlemen at the front was very welcoming and attentive. Food was flavorful my husband had a biria and I had a menudo. The best part was the hand made tortillas. There is plenty of parking and they have indoor and outdoor dining. read more

I've been eyeing this place for two years now, never went in because it always seemed lonely. My coworker recently told me he went and it was good. So I decided to give it a shot, since my favorite pupusa place shut down. We walked in and we're greeted but weren't given any guidance as towards to order at the register or sit down. We walked up to the register and ordered a pupusa revuelta and 1 sope of asada and 1 of carnitas, also an agua de piña. When I tried to pay, the lady told me I could pay at the end of our meal if we were eating there. My partner and I went and sat down, then she brought us chips and salsa, I asked if they had green salsa and she kind of made a face and said yes. I asked nicely if I could please get a little bit, and she fake smiled then walked away. She brought us the salsa and seemed upset I even asked. When our food finally came I was excited. The pupusa was pretty descent sized, the sopes however were small. The pupusa was cheesy and beany. I never tasted the chicharron. The curtido was ok, the salsa was a little flavorless. The sopes were ok. The meat was seasoned very well and it was chopped up into descent sized pieces. The sope itself was a little on the crunchy side. Which isn't entirely bad. Just wish they were a little bigger. Also, when a white family walked in they were super quick to greet them and seat them, bring them menus chips and salsa... wish everyone got the same treatment there.. and finally the agua de piña was off, didn't taste quite right. Like it was old or something. Needless to say I was disappointed, was hoping for a new delicious pupusa place to make my go to place. read more

Some of the best food I've had and I'm from Inglewood California, the papusas delicious the wet burrito was the best I've had in my life a delicious spicy sauce. There's too many options on the menu so I will be back for a torta, maybe some tacos, or the delicious pazole my girl got 10/10 worth it and recommend for any any and everybody to try read more

SO GOOD. Stopped in randomly on my way to visit someone at Kaiser when I saw the sign for pupusas. Got a squash blossom pupusa and an al pastor sope and they were both outta this world and piping hot, fresh off the griddle. The curtido was great, too. Staff is super friendly. Will totally come back if I'm in the area again, this was the best pupusa I've had in a minute. read more

This place has been here for a very long time and I'm from Vallejo and never tried this place. I took my chance on some pozole not really expecting too much because pozole can be a hit and miss... but baaaby it was the bomb.com ...it is full of flavor with very big chunks of meat... it was awesome and the owner is very nice I will be coming back. read more

Randomly stopped by because the sign said "breakfast borrito". The service was excellent, to a point I was impressed and actually felt welcomed. I wasnt planning to even write a review and all that but this borrito is amazing. My husband and I eat at restaurants a lot and the food is usually good and people are rarely rude but at this place, I left there telling my husband that this is our new "go to" pace. Cant wait to try the Pupusas. Thanks guys! read more

First and foremost was the great customer service. The food was pretty good as well. Got the Super Torta and it was on a Dutch Crunch roll. My daughter loved her pork & cheese papusas & my sons split a pretty big steak quesadilla. Glad we finally tried this spot out. Great experience. read more

Not only is this place tastey and reasonably priced, but the staff is extremely friendly and up beat. I highly recommend this spot to everyone! I stumbled into Mesaluna randomly one day and have been coming weekly ever since. read more
