"La Cabaña in Greenwood is Seattle’s undisputed champion of Central American food. This little roadside spot serves Honduran, Salvadoran, Costa Rican, Nicaraguan, and Guatemalan stuff, but it’s not just a busy catch-all. Their multi-cuisine lineup prioritizes quality as much as quantity—and where La Cabaña lacks in bells and whistles, they make up for in well-executed simplicity. Their grilled meats are a masterclass in marination. Leopard-seared pupusas are packed with chicharron that fuses with sticky cheese to make a glorious pork paste. And plump shrimp sauteed with onions and peppers rival the city’s top seafood giants. Be sure to show up when you have nowhere else to be—partly because La Cabaña’s pace is relaxed, and partly because you won’t ever want to rush a meal here." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
