" I had dinner at La Ceiba last night and enjoyed every minute. The flavors were spot on and felt like I was transported back to my childhood. The pupusas had the right balance of fillings, and every bite was homey and inviting. The staff also made excellent recommendations. The only downside was the limited cash-only policy, but certainly, it’s a small price for such quality food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I thought La Ceiba would be a great choice based on recommendations, but my experience was sort of mediocre. The pupusas were decent, but nothing extraordinary. Service was friendly but slow, which made everything drag out longer than expected. I will give it another shot, but I wanted something more memorable. " (*Curated Review*)

" First visit to La Ceiba and it was a terrific experience. The meal started with fresh corn tortillas followed by delicious carne asada. Overall, everything tasted great! Remember it’s cash only, but that is a small detail compared to the excellent flavors. The recommendation to start with their signature pupusas was spot on! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had been hearing great things about La Ceiba, so I finally decided to check it out. I ordered the pupusas, and wow, they are as good as everyone says! So cheesy and flavorful. The ambience is casual, but I was completely fine with that. The only downside was the cash-only policy. But that won’t stop me from coming back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our family meal at La Ceiba was full of flavor and great portion sizes! I loved their tamales and the accompanying sides. The only downside was how crowded it got, leading to longer wait times for service, which can be distracting when you’re hungry. Hence, be prepared for a laid-back experience. It’s worth the wait! " (*Curated Review*)

" This little gem is a delight! I visited La Ceiba based on a friend's recommendation, and wow, was I blown away! I ordered the pollo con tajadas and it was perfectly cooked with crispy skin—so delicious! The service was welcoming and attentive. While the decor is nothing fancy, the homely feel and the authentic flavors make it worthwhile. Definitely a place to satisfy your cravings for authentic Central American food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I must say, I was forever changed by my meal at La Ceiba. Authentic Latin American cuisine at its best! The flavors burst in my mouth—so unique and satisfying. I sampled many items and couldn’t pick a favorite. They do get busy, which is a testament to how loved this place is. A true culinary treasure! " (*Curated Review*)
