" La Cocina de Betty is a hidden gem! I went there on a whim and was blown away by the flavors. The pupusas were freshly made and absolutely delightful. My friend had the carne locas, and I was envious—so tasty! The service was warm and welcoming, making us feel right at home. I loved that the ingredients tasted so fresh and authentic, unlike other places. The prices are also very reasonable, so it’s a win all around! Can't recommend it enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious and authentic! I was recommended to try La Cocina de Betty and once I did, I understood why. Everything from the tamales to the tortas was on point. The price is reasonable for the portion sizes we received too. Staff were friendly but it can be a little tricky to communicate. You definitely get your money's worth. I'll return soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had heard good things about La Cocina de Betty and finally made it there. I really enjoyed my time! The pupusas were fantastic! You can tell they are made with care. I appreciate that they offer a little of everything on the menu; it makes it fun to try new things. Service was adequate, but I’d love to see more enthusiasm from the staff. Still, I’ll definitely return whenever I crave authentic pupusas! " (*Curated Review*)

" Great place to enjoy some flavors from Central America! I had the baleadas and they were so tasty! The homemade tortillas are a highlight; you can tell they put effort into making everything authentic. The reason I would rate it slightly lower for service is due to the occasional confusion with orders, but overall, it was worth it. I’ll definitely come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was surprised by how good the food was! The tortillas were made fresh, and the flavors were so vibrant. I had the chicken soup, which came out hot and was comforting on a chilly day. Not overly fancy or pretentious. The wait was a bit longer than expected, but the staff was friendly. I’ll absolutely be back and bring friends for some of this amazing 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*)
