" La Cocina de Betty is a delightful culinary experience! It’s evident that they focus on authentic ingredients and traditional recipes. I've been here multiple times and never left disappointed. The pupusas are a must, and their agua fresca is refreshing. The only challenge is the limited seating, but that just proves how loved this place is! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family loves La Cocina de Betty! I've been taking my kids there and they always want more of the pupusas. They are so filling and flavorful. We appreciate the freshness of the ingredients, and the dishes really deliver on taste. The service is just okay—it could use a little improvement. But overall, I see us returning often for such good food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a great meal at La Cocina de Betty! A friend recommended this place, and it did not disappoint. The enchiladas and pupusas were so good and authentic. The staff sometimes has a hard time with English, but they are polite and helpful. It’s a no-frills spot, but I think that’s part of its charm. I’m looking forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the chance to dine at La Cocina de Betty with my family. We ordered a variety of dishes, including enchiladas and tacos. Everything was made with fresh ingredients, and you could really taste the authenticity in every bite. The service was good, although somewhat slow due to how busy it was on a weekend. It was a cozy atmosphere which we liked. We left full and happy, and I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for real Central American flavors! " (*Curated Review*)

" Food from La Cocina de Betty reminds me of my grandmother’s cooking. It's very comforting. I ordered the chicken burrito which was huge and bursting with flavor. My partner had the tacos, and they were filled generously. The staff may have a language barrier, but they were very helpful and attentive. The ambience is casual but warm. We felt right at home. If they could just expand the seating a bit, I think it would solve some of the wait issues. Overall, an excellent spot for anyone craving authentic Central American food! " (*Curated Review*)

" La Cocina de Betty is a delightful escape into Central American flavors. The atmosphere is so warm and inviting, and the pupusas have an authentic taste that is hard to find elsewhere. We enjoyed the variety, and everything was fresh. Service was decent despite being the only downside during rush hours. I'd highly recommend it to anyone seeking true Central American cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a wonderful experience at La Cocina de Betty! The authentic flavors were refreshing in a town where so many places skimp on taste. I ordered a bunch of different tacos, and every one of them was delicious. Some of the best I’ve had in Pittsburgh. The only downside was the language barrier, but the staff really tried to help. Plus, a cozy location. I’d recommend it without hesitation! " (*Curated Review*)
