Berta's is THE BOMB. Crispy-edged, hot pupusas fresh out of the frying pan and topped with their delicious salsa and slightly spicy slaw. My favorites were the pork (slow-cooked to perfection) and shrimp (I think they added a lil extra cotija in there - fabulous). I mean honestly, it doesn't get much better than this. Riquisimo!! Staff was very kind and attentive too. Some of my favorite food in Burien!

Great pupusas!!! And the service & atmosphere were lovely. I think I was the only native English speaker there, which suited me just fine.

Felt pretty 'authentic' all the way around. Great food, friendly service, sports TV and a dog under the table! Definitely worth going to...

Ordered some food for our office. Highly recommend the Plato Cuscatleco. They have a variety of pupusas and tamales to choose from. They were able to accommodate to our vegetarian staff offering replacement options. We all loved it!

The pupusas were AMAZING. It's a very homey feel, like you're at a family members house for dinner. The ladies who seated us were really nice, so was our waiter. When I ordered a second pupusa, he let me know that it would be 10 minutes, because they aren't made until they're ordered. It is perfect! Crispy edges, hot and delicious filling, soft dough, and FRESH. Not much beats a hot and fresh, handmade meal. (That's feels and tastes homemade)
