    This was my very first time here, and I'm glad I did! The service here is beyond exceptional! The gentleman that helped me with my order took the time to go over some of the menu items with me and he is so nice! I would just go back for the service! The place itself, was not very big, but they kept it tidy and nice that there are a couple of TVs in there to keep you entertained while waiting for your food. Loved the fridge filled with desserts and all the candies they had available to purchase as well. As for the food, I ordered a family size Barria pizza that came with a good amount of the Barria soup! This was pretty good and stuffed with lots of meat (steak). It did make the Barria a little oily, but it was still yummy. Also, for the pollo asado, this was nicely seasoned and laid over rice. I would definitely recommend you trying Pupusas Locas. I will be back to try something different on their menu, like the cheese or bean pupusas.

    Located right next-door to Kohl's in Covington

    This place was highly recommended to me since I love great Mexican food. They're located in Covington directly adjacent to the Kohl's store. Lots of parking and seating inside for about 40 people. The lobby was spotless. Very well laid out. Wait time was minimal once I placed my order and it was well worth it. I had the Birria tacos and they were incredible. The meat was soft and tender, and the consommé for dipping was perfect. They give you a little extra onion, cilantro, and some pickled vegetables if you want to add them. I looked at the menu while I was waiting and it was very extensive. They have something for everyone. I very highly recommend this for anybody that wants to get an authentic Mexican fix.

    There's plenty of parking, which is convenient, but unfortunately the food was not to our liking. We ordered quite a bit hoping to find something we enjoyed, but it wasn't what we'd consider traditional Mexican food. Overall, the food just didn't meet our expectations. Service was friendly.

    We came in because we haven't tried this place yet. We came at lunch time around 1130am on a Friday. The place had a couple customers but mostly people were coming in to pick up to-go orders. The menu is pretty big. The employee said #38 and #12 pupusas are most popular. I ordered the lunch special of Fish Tacos because the price was right and 1 pupusa. My husband ordered wings and a pupusa. We were told 10-15min wait for food. Sadly we waited over 30minutes for our order to come to our table. Maybe they were short staffed and the employee was really kind. But he needs to be honest about the wait time because I did see other customers there, that came in after us, that were clearly on their lunch break. First off you should know I hate ranch dressing. Like really really really hate it. When the fish tacos came they were covered in a sauce that looked and smelled a lot like ranch. And sure enough tasted like it too. I was so disappointed because I just never fathomed that fish tacos would have ranch on them. Thank gosh my husband traded me entrees so I had the wings instead. They were alright, a bit over cooked and small 5/10. My pupusa was great and bigger than I thought it would be. Bigger than my hand. It was a fair price at $5.95 each. It definitely was something you needed to eat with a knife and fork though. It was too soggy to pick up and eat like a hand held taco. I so wanted it to be finger food too! The crunchy slaw on top was excellent. I should have just ordered one or 2 pupusas and nothing else. One really could be satisfying for a lunch entree. 7/10 I'm not sure we will be back due to the wait time but if we do, we will call ahead.

    Very homey sort of place, which funnily enough smelled deliciously of Cold Stone, because they're located next door to each other. My husband got the pups gigante, which was good but the flavors kind of got lost in each other because it comes filled with EVERYTHING. My revueltas were good, traditional. It was a bit spendy, but honestly, food in WA is super pricey so this place was no exception. Owners were very nice. I'd recommend.

    This is one of my favorite restaurants. Everything I've eaten here is good! Some of my favorites are birria tacos and pupusas. I used to eat pupusas all the time when I lived on the East Coast. This is the first pupusa place I've seen in WA but it's the best pupusa I've had.

    Chorizo and cheese pupusa

    This place serves delicious pupusas! The fillings are flavorful and everything is made fresh to order. The service is also super friendly, and it's super cute inside.

    We ordered almost $90 worth (take out) came home to find out, all our orders were messed up, paid $4 for guacomole and sour cream on a burrito but came nothing but with beans rice and chicken (dry) ordered the wet burrito with no tomato and no cotija cheese, but it was added, asked for no tomatos on the carne Asada fries but there still was, fries being super greasy. Called them many times to fix the issue but no answer. Never will be back and recommend everyone the same.

    I had written a review on the original location. I heard they sold the place. We stopped by here…read moreafter many years of being away... and wishing, missing this food badly. This is the best burrito in all of Tacoma/Lakewood!!! I tell everyone to try them. People don't know what they are missing, because they are just getting pupusas. Who would think they would have great burritos. So, these are not like any other burritos, because they are not Mexican. They use their delicious black beans, their white rice with a few little veg, sour cream, onions, cilantro, you can get really good chile sauce if you want it spicy. The sauce is so good. No cheese... can you believe it? Cheese is not even needed. You can get chicken or carne asada, or like we got, no meat and they will add avocado slices. I really wanted no meat, and platano frito added. This is what we used to get, and it's great. They should add a no meat option to the menu, and also the platano option. Everyone that loves unique delicious burritos, come check this place out. The guy that took my order was friendly, and even made our burrito half no cilantro. Thanks! They get busy.

    Pupusas tasted great and the staff was nice when they took down my order, but genuinely :/ because…read morevery little napkins given and only a plastic fork in my bag? I ordered to-go, and I am genuinely surprised that they do not have more condiments available, especially with the salsa as I got 4 pupusas. No wet wipe, which may be asking for a lot, but at least make it up with the paper napkins. I love that it is near base, but u might as well order to eat-in the restaurant. That way u get all that u need. Better inspection on my end could have been done, but just :o at the...stinginess. That sounds like a harsh word, I know, but how else do I describe it...?
