    Chicken Pupusa  and bean and cheese.  Strawberry margarita
    Goddess M.

    Service and food was great. Music had us dancing .Strawberry margarita was on point. Will definitely be back this week!!

    I love this china cabinet

    The food is always great. I had the chicken soup and it was excellent Almost Like my Mom's soup. I highly recommend it. The service was good considering it was full and there were only a couple people working that night. It is a sit down restaurant, you need to allow time for the cook to cook I love this place. We always dine at El Pueblo viejo every time we attend a show at Lancaster Performing Arts Center (LPAC).

    Pupusas after takeout.

    This review is based solely on pick-up service, pupusas, and their service during Covid. I called in an order as soon as they opened and ordered 2-4 of every pupusa (some are not listed on the menu). I was given a 40-45 min wait time as the order was so large and they had just opened. I was advised they would call if the order was done sooner. I left to pickup and they called on my drive, perfectly completed on time, price as told over the phone, payment was easy. Everyone was in gloves and a mask, chairs were up so nobody would even wait for food, signs on the door, pick up orders arranged on a table, etc. Managing following protocol well. Best part? Every single box was labeled with the pupusas (top, middle, bottom) and we were given so much of the cabbage slaw and the salsa that we surely will not run out on our almost 30 pupusas. Everything was cooked well, hot- even when I got home, packaged well (no spilling or anything, bags tied and taped shut, etc.), there was enough inside of each pupusas and not a heavy tortilla which made it even better. I will be back again.

    Tortilla is almost touching! Where's the chicken?

    The restaurant is charming and clean. The waitress was nice but not very knowledgeable about the menu. The food was like a tv dinner. I ordered a chicken enchilada dinner and got a cheese enchilada. My husband ordered steak nachos and got chicken,lol The enchilada was flat,cold with nothing but congealed red sauce on top. The tortillas was very soggy. The rice was bland,no seasoning or tomato flavor. The beans were definitely canned,served with nothing on top,no cheese,green onions on top.Maybe because it's so stinking expensive to rent on .Lancaster Blvd they don't have enough left for cheese,onions,,Sweet N Low,etc. Never again.

    This restaurant is a must when you visit Lancaster. The machaca and popusas are what you expect from a home cooked meal.

The food quality is spectacular! I always get the Baracoa Cubano sandwich and it never disappoints. The ingredients are fresh and organic with each dish I've ordered. Since I have allergies to ingredients used to preserve frozen food, it's always been so hard finding a restaurant with a menu that doesn't cause me issues--and Baracoa has never compromised with their ingredients! The organic quality of their food is something you'll taste on your first bite. And finally--the service is impeccable and I have yet to see such excellent hospitality at any restaurant I've visited, even in Los Angeles! The waiters are always kind, attentive, and energetic with their behavior and service. It's very easy to tell they love the work they do and it shows in their work ethic. In addition to that, the managers are always making sure we're having an excellent night and have transformed it to a level of service we've never seen! My parents and I went a week ago and talked to Daniel the Manager about how much we missed a Piña Colada from a closed restaurant which would make it in the pineapple itself--and he said if we promised to be there in a week he's make it himself. We came on Friday, and the joy that my family felt was palpable when Daniel came out with the drinks we've wished for years now since that restaurant closed! Honestly, I've never heard of someone caring for their guests so much to do that--truly everyone should visit this establishment and experience true fine dining. I don't think I'll ever eat anywhere else for a special occasion ever again.

It is all made to perfection and there is not one thing we don't love. For about $32 dollars you can get Havana Bites, it is a taste of some of their great items. It comes with Beef & Chicken Empanadas, Papas Rellenas, Platanos Fritos and Yuca Frita all served with Rico Sauce, which is so great. All of their empanadas are great and you can get just one or a bunch. We often get some to take home. The Papas Rellenas is so good and so nicely priced. It is two mashed potato balls stuffed with Cuban picadillo, then breaded and fried to perfection. I love potatoes so I love to get this. We also take these home. They heat up so well. The service is great and they are very friendly. Parking is easy and there is not usually a wait. I am not sure if they take reservations, so call them and check. The place is comfortable and pretty.

    Just don't eat here!…read more We originally wanted to go to the Peruvian place around the corner but they had a "B" health grade so we passed on that. There was a couple tables seated inside this resident so we said "why not, let La try something new". First off they don't have a restroom or it wasn't operational or the Linda at the counter didn't feel like being helpful. We just wanted to wash our hands prior to eating. We ordered the pupusas special on their menu which is 2 pupusas for like $5.69 or something close to that, and one additional cheese and jalapeno one. When she brought the condiments to our table she spilled them which was no biggie. I offed to just wipe it myself. Our food came and we got 4 pupusas. No big deal we weren't gunna complain. Food was below subpar, no flavor and the masa had an off putting smell. As far as the food goes I would NEVER come back here, now would I recommend this place. I wanted to put the tomato based sauce on my pupusas but it was crusty and and when I opened it there was mold growing in the lid. Unfortunately I didn't see this till after we left. We went to pay our bill as she assumed and up charged us for bigger pupusas than what I had pointed to on the menu. When I asked her about it, she said that she assumed that's what we wanted. I let her know that I wanted what we had pointed at in the menu. When I asked her to refund us the difference she said she couldn't because the manager wasn't there and if I wanted to come back. All of this with a very entitled attitude. If there were zero stars, I would rate them that. Incredibly unhappy with my experience here and I'm shocked they're still in business.
