Reviews for La Cuscatleca East in Des Moines, IA
Food is a 5 star and I would've given it a 5 star but the attention to the customer slacks a bit. It's not horrible by any... means. I think just adding a louder chime to the back of the restaurant to signal the waitress of someone walking in or outshould do the trick. Besides that food is great Read more
Food tasted great!! I didn't get exactly what I ordered. The staff didn't speak a lot of English but used a translation app to... overcome the language barrier!! I will definitely be back!! Read more
Melissa was so quick to get our drinks and orders in. She was very kind and was cleaning tables doing everything. I was very... impressed with the service she provided. It's very hard to find employees these days with great attitude and such passion tohelp their hungry customers. Our food was so good. These are the best Pupusas in Iowa. I had some cheese ones, chicharron ones(pork cracklings) and loroco (herbs and cheese). Our friends and I took 2 people that have never tried pupusas in their livesand they were in love. We took some for the office and they loved them. Read more

Really authentic food from El Salvador, delicious Pupusas, I really recommend La Cuscatleca.
Pupusas are delicious, large and priced fair. (Most are $2 each) They serve large portions of cortido and two bottles of... salsa. The other entree we ordered was incredible. Meat was tender, delicious, sauce was incredible and the rice & beans wereperfectly prepared. Read more
