Mi Jacalito - Vallejo

Friendly own, clean space and the most amazing food that melts in your mouth!

Great family run business. The tortillas are delightful! We also had the pupusa loco which we recommend highly!

So the first time I visited LaCuchara I did not know that there were two doors (the door I walked to was closed so I thought the place was closed), I was so disappointed I left because I was really craving pupusas. A couple days later I came back realized there was a second door that they leave open. Anyways! When I walked in I was surprised to see that the place was not packed. Other than my cousin I, there was one table of 2. Upon entering, we were immediately greeted by a nice man at the cash register. To my surprise there was more Latin food than I expected from Mexican to Salvadoran. the prices are reasonable. We bought about 15 pupusas, 2 sopes, horchata pineapple juice all for $60. As our order was being prepared, we sipped on our drinks the nice man give us chips salsa while we waited. And let me tell you, this salsa was so good had the perfect kick of spice. Within 15 mins our food was ready. it was all worth it. Our family never had pupusas before they loved it. The only sad thing is we wish we ordered bigger drinks. If you're in the area, you definitely should not miss this place. It might look like a hole in the wall but the food customer service speak for itself.

I’m not sure if I’ve left a review or not before. But, I might just leave one every time. This place is amazing. Don’t even think twice just go here. Get the fried corn tamales in addition to whatever you order. Vegan vegetarian friendly. The owners are super nice and the food is incredible. Big portions and outside seating too! Thanks for the great dinner, again!!

The family that runs the restaurant are so friendly and helpful, very nice! I ordered tamales for Christmas eve, they were ready and hot when I picked them up and were delicious. Next time I will try the banana leaf tamales. Lots of parking, tables outside and a few inside. They also have wonderful looking bakery items. Some traditional Mexican pastries. Definitely try this place.
