  • La Casa Tazumal is right off Lorain on W 105th in a sleepy part of town with street parking. The outside isn't hard to miss, with a jungle creeping in the windows near the entrance. After entering the double doors, you're greeted to some Spanish Christian literature and a cozy dining area with plastic table clothes, food paintings and a booth selling herbal remedies. Like others have said, the restaurant is run by an elderly woman with lots of spirit and seemingly fluent English. The menu is two pages, with a third page for dessert and miscellaneous a la carte items. Horchata and tamarindo is fresh and delicious, like dessert in a glass ($1.25). I suppose the main draw here are the Salvadorean pupusas, which resemble Colombian arepas. Corn tortillas are split and stuffed with pork, beef, beans, cheese and other goodies. La Casa Tazumal's are slightly greasy, but definitely filling. For around $1.50 each, you can eat your fill of pupusas without denting your wallet. We ate in the dining area, and the chef's daughter came half-way through and became our waitress in place of her mom. She brought out some pickled cabbage and other vegetables and a wonderful hot sauce. My boyfriend had a tamale, pupusas and empanada, although he had to pack up the empanada. Two pupusas and the horchata filled me up. We also ordered plantanos frito (fried plantain - $2.50). I thought it was going to be deep fried, sort of like yoyos or something, but it was a plantain, split down the center and caramelized. It was sweet and satisfying, but a little heavy for dessert. We packed it up for later. La Casa Tazumal offers a lot of character and great, seemingly authentic Salvadorean cuisine. With many other menu options we didn't try, and a woman who's a triumph for opening her own restaurant and keeping a sweet demeanor the entire visit, we'll definitely be back again. This place could become a weekly staple.
