"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
Wonderful Central American restaurant. We had pupusas that were super rico. Perfectly made and comparable to in other cities. Comes with great curtido (lightly pickled spicy cabbage) of course, and nice horchata. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an authentic affordable and friendly Salvadoran place in the PGH area! Must visit and is conveniently on the red line of the T light rail so very easy to visit from downtown. (For some reason I or Google posted this review by mistake to Las Palmas so I’m reposting in the correct place)

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....

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

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

Incredible food and staff! Has a concise and well curated menu, and the ribs with salsa verde were some of the best I’ve ever tasted. Also amazing horchata 💚🍀

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.
