"Maria Elizabeth “Betty” Hernandez, a native of Honduras, came to Pittsburgh in 2013 and launched her eponymous restaurant in Pittsburgh’s burgeoning Beechview neighborhood (home to many of the city’s most exciting Mexican, Central, and South American restaurants) in 2019. From a menu of Honduran, Salvadoran, and Mexican dishes, start with baleadas, the Honduran staple with homemade flour tortillas, refried beans, and fresh cheese, or Salvadorian pupusas with fried pork belly. The restaurant’s mammoth torta Cubana is one of Pittsburgh’s grand sandwiches." - Melissa McCart, Hal B. Klein

First went there on a Wednesday night and it was great. Went back tonight (Saturday) 12/7/24 about 6pm. There were three tables available, the rest filled with Hispanics. 2 of us (white) sat down and waited. More people came in and sat down twice and the waitress ignored us twice and wouldn’t give us menus. The place was silent until we got to the door as we left . So take it for what it is. Authentic food and an equally authentic experience

We come here often for lunch and dinner. Gigantic agua frescas and awesome meals, I recommend the bistec entomatadas. If it's busy, be prepared to wait a little while if you get one of their big entrees.

The food was delicious and the atmosphere was very good. Everything that we ate was good. My mom had fish. I had Pupusas and they were all good.

Amazinggggg food! Definitely the best enchiladas I ever had😻 That chicken soup was perfect, the chips were freshly made and were served hot. All 3 salsas were super delicious and we enjoyed everything. Idk how is this place not full! Highly recommend

This place is the bomb! Gotta give a try for some authentic pupasa's. LaCocina de Betty does it up right and won't disappoint. Check out the menu for other specialities. Good flavor and just the right amount of food for lunch. Served with quickness and friendliness. Don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions about the menu. Fresh ingredients! I'm coming back 4sure....

Love this place! Very authentic food at a reasonable price. Make sure to have cash, as it is cash only.

Be patient, seating is limited but the wait is worth it! We ordered a little bit of everything and nothing disappointed!

This is a place hard to forget. All the pupusas tasted the same, very consistent. They were filled and great portions. They just had NO flavor (only one with beans) and the chicharrón went MIA. Not sure what went wrong, it was just bad. I had this place in my list and cannot undo the damage. Gave 2 stars and not because of the food.
