the pupusas are not very authentic and the curtido looked very old plus it was extremely spicy which isn’t at all typical for real salvadorian cuisine. ordered a flan for dessert and it was very stale. everything was overall too expensive for such a low quality of food that i usually love very dearly. I’ll keep making pupusas at home myself instead of wasting my money here

My wife and I have been celebrating our Anniversary at La Cabana for over 23 yrs. The food and service was excellent in the beginning but since the owner Don David passed away the food and service was crap as I ordered a meal and was given a meal I never ordered and they expected us to pay for it. After they redid my meal, my wife’s meal arrived ice cold and was told that it was put back in the microwave to “keep” it warm. My wife and I will be celebrating our anniversary elsewhere from now on. It was the last time supporting this place the $10 tip was not even worth it and paid $6 for parking and $96 for tasteless cold disgusting meal. Over charged breakfast.Totally not impressed.

I love La Cabaña!

I’ve tried everything vegetarian on the menu, and my favourite combination is a DIY platter of one pupusa (either the Queso Con Loroco or Frijol Y Queso), a side of Frijoles Refritos, an appetizer of Platanos Fritos, and a huge helping of the Curtido on top of the pupusa 👌

The staff is friendly and graciously tolerates my broken Spanish when I order (muchas gracias).

The food is fantastic and made with love. You must get a horchata or a tamarindo to drink as well.

We came here on Easter Sunday for lunch before we went to the Diefenbunker. We were greeted by a lovely lady who handed us some menus and seated us. I noticed how clean it was in there which is always a tremendous first impression.

We opted for the cheese papusas, plantains, beans and sour cream. And WOW, we were ever impressed. The food was so delicious and flavourful.

This ended up being our favourite restaurant in Ottawa over the 3 days we stayed there. The service, food and atmosphere were all fantastic.

We’ll be back next time we’re in Ottawa.

5/5

This is one of my favorite restaurants by far! They serve authentic and homemade Salvadoran food. I enjoy the pupusas and revueltas that they serve with cortida and salsa very much. The service is great, especially Citlali. And the decor is filled with beautiful plants.
