"This Nicaraguan restaurant in Pico-Union is home to the nacatamal, a giant pork, tomato, and potato-filled tamale that comes so neatly wrapped in boiled banana leaves that it wouldn’t be out of place underneath a Christmas tree. Let us rephrase that—we’d be completely fine if one ended up under ours, because the combination of the spicy pork and the pop of salty acidity from the green olives makes this one our favorite versions in town." - brant cox, sylvio martins
19 Incredible Places to Eat Central American Food in Los Angeles - Eater LA
"LA’s most popular Nicaraguan restaurant covers the classics: baho, vigoron and chanco all piled on a plate with an unwieldy structure of tajadas verde (green banana strips), fried squares of cheese, sweet plantains covered in cabbage slaw on a bed of gallo pinto (beans and rice mixed together) in a culinary Jenga that gets toppled upon your first bite." - Bill Esparza

The place is a little dated, and parking on the weekends can be a pain. Other than that, it’s pretty authentic. I got the fritanga and cacao. They had a musician, so it was kinda loud.

Love this location. A little bit pricey, but worth it since it’s authentic and fresh. Best days to visit is when there is a performer

Couldnt rate it as it closed at 9pm and we had to go elsewhere. What a shame. Wanted to eat some good nica food but many places close too early.
