Pupusas Locas: Reviews & Ratings

Very homey sort of place, which funnily enough smelled deliciously of Cold Stone, because they're located next door to each other. My husband got the pups gigante, which was good but the flavors kind of got lost in each other because it comes filled with EVERYTHING. My revueltas were good, traditional. It was a bit spendy, but honestly, food in WA is super pricey so this place was no exception. Owners were very nice. I'd recommend.

This is one of my favorite restaurants. Everything I've eaten here is good! Some of my favorites are birria tacos and pupusas. I used to eat pupusas all the time when I lived on the East Coast. This is the first pupusa place I've seen in WA but it's the best pupusa I've had.

This place was highly recommended to me since I love great Mexican food. They're located in Covington directly adjacent to the Kohl's store. Lots of parking and seating inside for about 40 people. The lobby was spotless. Very well laid out. Wait time was minimal once I placed my order and it was well worth it. I had the Birria tacos and they were incredible. The meat was soft and tender, and the consommé for dipping was perfect. They give you a little extra onion, cilantro, and some pickled vegetables if you want to add them. I looked at the menu while I was waiting and it was very extensive. They have something for everyone. I very highly recommend this for anybody that wants to get an authentic Mexican fix.

Just got the best breakfast burritos ever. They were well constructed and packed with fresh delicious food. We had a Birria one and a chorizo one. The stuff was very polite and friendly. Lots of little Mexican candies to choose from also. Great experience can't wait to go back

I have ordered takeout several times from this spot, and unfortunately, I always forget to take a picture of the Birria tacos-- rare for me as I love food pics, but they're top tier! So good. Staff has always been kind and service is quick.

The service was great, the guy behind the counter was very nice and check on us several times throughout out our meal. I ordered the birria tacos and they were delicious and full of flavor. With it being so close to my house it might be my new go to for tacos.

Usually hesitant to eat in suburban areas of Washington as a California native but the food was delicious. I figured I'd try it out because another person who reviewed this place was also from California. I ordered a steak Pupusa plate- comes with 2 Pupusas, rice and beans with carne asada. Quality of the meat was great, tender and did not lack flavor. The beans and rice were alright. Pupusas tasted like home! I will definitely come back. Parking in a plaza.
