They took the time to explain the menu and gave us excellent recommendations. The pupusas were the best I've ever had! My favorite was the buffalo chicken and cheese pupusa--it was absolutely delicious. The grilled chicken plate with rice and beans was also flavorful and perfectly cooked. The food, the people, and the warm atmosphere made this place truly special. Everything was clean, inviting, and the service was exceptionally friendly. We'll definitely be coming back! Highly recommend this place.

Really reasonable price for the amount of awesome you get to eat! Also came with two sauces, a creamy cilantro and a vinegary sauce that had a little spice to it. The young guy that helped me also told me how to eat them the Columbian way by spooning the sauce on instead of dipping! Also came with a few bites of salad which was a nice fresh element. The empanada dough is made of corn so it's technically gluten free for you sensitive folk and is perfectly fried to a crisp! This might be the longest Yelp review I have written but seriously I am already wishing I would have gotten more!!! Tonight was the last Cotati market but they assured me I can find them at the Santa Rosa Farmer's Lane market on Saturdays! You can follow them on Instagram @mamazara.empanadas to find out where else you can find them or you can hire them to cater your next event!! Im telling you everyone will be glad you did!! https://www.mamazaraempanadas.com/ call, email, DM or go find them right now. -And buy twice as many as you think you need! Seriously the best thing i have eaten in awhile and last weekend I had brisket smash burgers and birria ramen! Literally trying to plan a party now so i can get empanadas catered!

I've tried over the years at their other location in the SF Ferry Building, try all their delicious empanadas. You cannot go wrong here; these are absolutely the best empanadas I've ever had. If you see an El Porteño, I suggest you order some; you will not be disappointed. The interior is just as delicious as the crust. The service is always on point, efficient, and quick.

We agreed to come here even though it was a bit of a drive from where we were. At first glance we thought it was closed because the closed sign was in the front, but luckily they were open. In all honesty, the place could use a deep cleaning. The bathroom wasn't too bad, which I really appreciated, but the restaurant needs an update. Our server was great, very nice. She brought us out some chips and salsa which were good. They have a pretty good sized menu, which made it hard to choose from but we ended up both getting camarones ala diabla and an order of fried shrimp tacos. Our shrimp plates were good. I really liked the rice. The shrimp's sauce was a bit sweeter than we usually like but we both finished our plates, lol. The shrimp tacos were disappointing. I think they may have left them in the fryer for too long, so the shells were so hard and the shrimp really dehydrated. If I was in the area, I'd give them another try.

The burrito and empanada were delicious and flavorful, and the staff were warm and friendly. The food takes a little time since it's made to order, but we didn't mind the wait.

There's no WiFi, which actually makes it a nice place to put your phone away and enjoy the people you're with. Our only small note was that the salsa portion was a bit small, and we asked for extra - i was surprised to hear they charge extra. Not a big deal, but it would be nice to have a little more included. Overall, a lovely spot with really tasty food, and also serves alcohol!
