They recently started taking credit cards which makes it very convenient. The service is always top notch and it’s in great location right next to Carrollton. Can’t recommend enough. ”
“ La Macarena feels like home. From the moment you step inside, the welcoming atmosphere sets the tone, and when you taste the food, you immediately feel a sense of belonging. The buzz around the 3 pupusas on Wednesday’s is true—they're absolutely delicious! Whether you're stopping by for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, this spot never disappoints. Highly recommend! ”
“ The food was authentic, the owner (Manny) was attentive, and the place was small but welcoming! We were there for an early lunch, so it wasn't busy yet and we were able to sit and talk with Manny. I always am impressed when I find a bay leaf in my meals at restaurants, it's a true sign of the attention paid to flavors and is common in smaller, locally owned & operated establishments. We loved it and will be back! ”
