Great new restaurant in St Geoege with authentic Latin food not the same bland Mexican dishes like at the million other restaurants in town. Food takes a bit longer than quick service however it’s worth the wait for fresh made or order food. They have been open less than a month, give this family run business a try!

I’m in love! La Cocina de Luzita is INCREDIBLE!!! The food is packed with flavor and authentically made. Wow wow wow is what ran through my mind as I took bite after bite. Carne Asada was well seasoned and cut to a great thickness. The jalapeño and cheese pupusa with pickled cabbage was so delightful. Everything we ordered was a hit. Highly recommend eating here.

Wonderful service and delicious food! We ordered 20 pupusas and 4 large horchatas to go. The food is so good! I’m enjoying leftovers today. They weren’t able to get us the horchatas…something happened. However they gave us their fresh mango drink plus an extra for the inconvenience. I’m not one who likes mango but this drink is SO GOOD! Looking forward to going again.

We had the pupusas and they were delicious. We ordered chips and salsa. The chips were round and not very authentic. The salsa was good but on the hot side. Not expected. Service was slow.

My beloved and I absolutely love La Cocina de Luzita—it’s one of our go-to spots and such a staple for us. The pupusas are incredible, so full of flavor, and honestly, we can’t get enough of them. The service is always great—everyone is so kind and welcoming. It’s just a cute lil place with such a quaint and cozy vibe, perfect for a casual, delicious meal. We’re so happy we found this gem and will keep coming back for sure!

Probably my favorite place in St. George to get food. The pupusas are heavenly and I’ve never been disappointed regardless of how many times I’ve been here.

Great pupusas and service! The pupusa with cheese and loroco was great! The fried plantains are also excellent (and we have tried from lots of places)!
