Lillian Anaya Quintanilla has been selling her golden-brown, crispy pupusas & banana-leaf-wrapped tamales at farmers markets around the Seattle area for over 10 years, drawing customers willing to wait up to an hour for her food and Salvadoran-style horchata. On March 9 , 2022 , she finally opened her first restaurant. Like the food cart, the restaurant serves various types of pupusas (jalapeño and cheese and pork, to name a couple) & pork, chicken, & corn tamales, but there are some new dishes as well. The chiles rellenos on the menu, unlike the Mexican version, which is filled with just cheese, are stuffed with pork or chicken with green beans, carrots, potatoes, & mushrooms. The Salvadoran carne asada plate has thicker cuts than those at most Mexican restaurants and is served with chorizo sausage, fresh cheese, rice, beans, and avocado. And she’s still serving the Salvadoran-style horchata, called horchata de Morro, which is made with ground peanuts, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, cinnamon, and rice, among other ingredients & has a rich toasty, nutty flavor. Izaya’s painted mural @ Lily's - his intention is for the viewer to feel as if they are stepping into Lily’s world, to experience where she’s from and the things that made her happy. This captures the place where Lily learned about herself & shaped how she relates to the community, family, food, and her culture.
