We ordered the bean with cheese, spinach with cheese, and chicken with cheese pupusas and they were so tasty. I've been going to this place just for their pupusas because they're so perfectly made. Their Salvadoran Horchata is also refreshingly good. The employees have been there for years! I've always had a pleasant experience with them. TLDR: Try this place! Might look unassuming from the outside, but nothing about their pupusas is underwhelming.

Went with a small group and the service was so fast, friendly and on it despite the good size crowd in the restaurant. Tried something new with their shrimp street tacos and they were delicious. Introduced the tea to a new family and they ordered the beef taquitos and a beef quesadilla. Both commented on tasty and tender the meat was in both entrees. Chips and salsa are consistent and on point. Thanks Casa Mota for being my go-to Mexican restaurant on a Friday night.

Stumbled upon this place last Friday when I had to stop by savers down the street. It looked…read morepretty authentic when I checked it out online, and I was right in thinking it would be helpful that my friend was around that spoke Spanish since I'm a no sabo kid. I think you could probably get by without speaking Spanish, I'm assuming the couple next to us probably didn't and they looked like regulars if I has to guess, haha. The menu certainly had some items I hadn't seen at most other Mexican restaurants that I want to come back and try. But I was pretty focused on the "Mojarra Frita" once I saw it pictured on the menu. It's a cleaned tilapia fish coated in seasoning and deep fried. I first had it as a kid when my dad ordered it at a restaurant somewhere in East LA I think. It was so delicious, and I've had it a couple times since then chasing my first high. This is the first time I've had it since then that may have matched the level of flavor. It brought back a great memory for me, and I was glad I got to share a piece with my friend so he knew how great it was too. He said he'd definitely get it next time. It had a nice saltiness. The sides were great too. They included a side salad, a simple potato salad, and some rice. The rice was really flavorful compared to most other restaurants I've eaten at. To top it off, I got a horchata that was a little pricey but came in a large mason jar. It had a great flavor and you could tell it was made in-house. It wasn't overly thick or sweet like lots of other places serve. I already told my friends I want to bring them to this place sometime in the near future. I think they would enjoy trying some of the more unique items on the menu and it has a nice relaxed atmosphere for dinner.

The white rice was cooked to perfection, and as always, the restaurant was clean and well maintained. The customer service can be a little hit-or-miss depending on the day. They forgot my tamal de elote with my order, but they quickly corrected the mistake and I was able to take it to go. One thing I did notice is that the prices have gone up since my last visit, but honestly, I still think it's well worth it. The food has been consistently good, and I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in the area.

On a sparsely traveled side street that separates the Target parking lot from the 91 freeway, is an attraction that will have you slamming on your brakes and craning your neck to see what the fuss is all about. The day we came, a Sunday afternoon, there were about 10 different, brightly colored trucks lined up along the curb, lights flashing, music blaring, and lines starting to form. You can park your car in the adjacent parking lot, there's plenty of room! Yes, this a very successful food truck according to Yelp. And by far the most patronized truck I saw that day. Inside the tiny galley kitchen are 4 hustling adults, including sweet Isabelle, the food ambassador of a husband and wife duo. I loved her enthusiasm and bright smile. At this point, I want to mention that Columbian taste buds are more finicky than many of their Central and South American brothers. So do not expect hot chile anything. Their palates prefer milder, not spicy foods, even though one of the sauces served with the empanadas was a garlicky, bright, herbal, oily sauce, not unlike the Argentinian chimichurri sauce. They call it aji (ah hē). I find it very addictive. Bandera Paisa - this is a combo plate that features a fat, Columbian chorizo (a non spicy sausage), a pile of moist shredded beef, a large strip of pork belly, white rice, Columbian red beans, a fried egg, avocado, and several pieces of fried sweet plantain. There is also one Cheese Arepa included. This dish can easily be shared by two and is a phenomenal deal and interesting taste adventure. Beef Arepa. This is basically a fried masa pocket substantially filled with their signature shredded beef, then topped with guacamole and white cheese. This is very similar to their beef empanadas, so I would encourage ordering one or the other, not both. It's big. Beef Empanadas (3). This is not your usual empanada. The generous beef filling is made from their sensational slow-cooked, flavorful shredded beef with a hint of corn and vegetables. The pastry is actually made of a coarse grained masa, formed into the traditional moon-shape, then deep-fried. It is heavier and far more filling than what I am accustomed to, but it has a chewy, coarse textured mouth appeal and rich flavor. One order is 3 empanadas. They offer an interesting variety of drinks, the most notable being their iced Columbian coffee (intensely rich, creamy, and sweetened) and a Passion Fruit Slushy that is an exotic fruity perfection. Both are pre-made and served out of a dispenser. Columbiana soda, plus other sodas and juices, are available in bottles and cans. The only downside is the seating. A few wooden tv trays and canvas folding chairs are set up on the uneven dirt adjacent to the sidewalk. It appears that using the sidewalk is off limits for seating. I loved their cute, vibrant Cuban music, but oftentimes it became overwhelming as it competed with another truck's equally loud Mexican music right next to them. That, and the seating, effectively convinced me that eating my food elsewhere was probably a better idea, even though sweet Isabelle was frequently checking in on us to make sure we had everything we needed. Our bill was really reasonable, considering the amount of food we had. It was approx. $42, and there was plenty to bring home for another day.

We came late on a Friday night and it's great to find a bustling place that's open around 10pm. We got the Aborrajados, a dessert made of fried plantains, stuffed with cheese, dulce de leche, and guava. We were too full to try more but everything looks delicious and we will definitely be back for more. Highly recommend.
