Last time we stopped in and had some fried plaintains, along with our usual yucca arepas. Mmmm. We also ordered a Venezuelan empanada, which was pretty delicious.

The service has always been friendly, and I think the prices are fair for what you get. Also it's a cute little place, perfect to duck in off the busy street and grab a bite or three.

OSJ International is the most authentic Puerto Rican food I've had on the West Coast (not just in…read moreSeattleso far. Most Caribbean spots around Washington lean Jamaican, so finding a place doing proper Puerto Rican dishes felt special. The menu and quality reminded me of what you'd find back on the island, at least pre-pandemic. They had classics like chillo frito, mofongo, and pasteles, and it tasted like homemade small business cooking. Honestly, I thought it was even better than La Isla before the fire that shut that place down. A few pain points. It's far. The restaurant is south of Tacoma near I-5, so it's a bit of a drive whether you're coming from Seattle or even from the airport. It was also cash only when I went, though you could sit inside and eat. Last time I called it sounded like they were still mostly doing the to-go model and hadn't fully gone back to the way it used to operate. I haven't made the trip again yet, but it's still on my list. Also worth saying, after the pandemic when I moved to San Diego, I couldn't find an authentic Puerto Rican spot there either. That made me appreciate this place even more. After the Benito Super Bowl performance I'm definitely craving some Puerto Rican food again. Might have to make the drive soon.

Not sure if it was always like this or just near closing hours when we arrived to pick up our order., The lady at the cash register was most pleasant and our orders were complete, cooked to order hot and fresh. We ordered 2 orders of the chicken dinners, pollo playero and had bits of pork added to it. We also ordered a side of beans. The food was freshly cooked, so it was nice and hot. It was well seasoned. The meats were tender (with the exception of the pork bits inside the rice). The food had a beautiful presentation with onion, green and red pepper slices on top of the meats.

Ever since my boyfriend and I moved from NYC to Seattle, one of the things we've been yearning to…read moreencounter is hearty Colombian(him)/Ecuadorian(me) food. New York was crawling in delicious Southern American food. So we decided to go on an adventure to Tacoma and visit this establishment, and I'm so glad we did. Upon walking in, the space is decorated in Colombian flags, license plates, banners, and other miscellaneous decor. The tropicana radio station playing in the back made us feel like we were back in Manizales for a brief moment. We were greeted with kindness and curiosity as we exchanged cultural backgrounds. Foods that we ate: - Pandebono (Plain, with no guyaba): One of the many famous breads Colombia has to offer, the flavor was spot on. Savory and cheesy with a nice chew. It was more airy than I was anticipating, so a lot of empty pockets while eating it (it's usually denser), but still delicious nonetheless. If you like a sweet surprise, would recommend getting the pandebono with guyaba inside. - Buñuelo: Another great cheese bread in the shape of a sphere and fried. The inside was super soft and airy as well which is more on brand for this! Although not typically crunchy or hard, the shell did lack a bit of toughness that's normally expected. Again, did not take away from the enjoyable experience otherwise. - Bandeja Paísa: Nearly perfect, we were both so stunned. The chorizo and chicharron were AMAZING. The chicharron had the perfect amount of meat, more crunchy than chewy which is what we preferred. I don't know what blend the chorizo is made out of, but it was packed with flavor. The steak was a little tough but still delicious. Avocado, fried egg, the arepa, all complemented the dish well. I personally don't like maduros, but the one in this dish was not too sweet at all, delicious. The frijoles were also packed with flavor, giving the rice a wonderful flavor to soak up. We definitely need to come back and have their churrasco for sure. If you're Colombian in the Seattle area or are looking to try Colombian food for the first time, this is a must visit!!!

The ambiance was vibrant with tasteful cultural music which I truly could not get enough of. The restaurant was clean, including the bathrooms and what you can see of the kitchen. Now for the food; I was not overly impressed. They seem to be popular for their empanadas but from my experience they were bland, cooked from frozen, and lacked that the booming flavor I was expecting for an authentic Colombian restaurant. Some of the entrees they make looked good but there were a few of those I wouldn't recommend either. I likely won't return but I'm excited I had the opportunity to see what they were about.

We wanted to grab something for our boys to eat and the French fries dish here sounds good so we ordered that. Ordering and paying was fine. They gave us a pager and we just waited. After about 10 minutes, our pager went off and we came over for the food. However, the cook realize they made the wrong order but didn't speak English as well so it was a bit to understand what she was saying. The owner finally came back and explained, so we had to wait another 10+ minutes. The chef seems very apologetic though. Food: we ordered the salchipapa classica and it was good but either the chef forgot to put a sauce on for us or the owner forgot to ask. Without the sauce, it was pretty plain since it's just cheese fries and sausage. We ended up asking for some ketchup so that our kids can dip in it. The place was definitely a little busier than the last time we went but not by much.

It's rare that you find a restaurant that serves dishes across a coagulation of countries. Normally…read moreyou have Mexican restaurants, Cuban restaurants, Colombian restaurants, etc... - but this place is truly a Central American restaurant. There are dishes from practically every country in that region here. I imagine this feels like home for a lot of people. I'm not even from those countries and I still feel the vibe of being local. It's a place where the staff seem to recognize a lot of folks who come in and chat, and the people who eat here seem like they come here all the time. To start off, I had the pupusa, which was filled with chicharron and cheese. I've had pupusas in Costa Rica before, and this one was so much better than what I had there. It came out hot, leopard-spotted on the outside from the grill marks. When I cut it open, the inside was practically steaming. The melted cheese and chicharron were perfect together. The masa on the outside was fantastic as well. For my main dish, I had the pollo frito from Honduras. This was simply a behemoth. It comes out and you're like....woah. The scale is truly staggering. It consists of a quarter of fried chicken, served over a massive bed of fried plantains and pickled cabbage. It's covered in so much sauce you don't even see the chicken at the start. While cool, I'm ultimately mixed on this dish. The chicken is solid - the inside is juicy, but the outside doesn't quite retain its crispiness - due to the moisture from the sauce and pickled cabbage. It's also not really meaty - as it felt more bone than meat to me. The way the dish is presented makes it very difficult to eat with hand, but due to the bone, cutting with a fork and knife isn't great either. The positives were the plantains were really damn good though. Eating that with the sauce and cabbage was very addicting. I was able to finish the chicken - but half the plantains and the rest were still remaining. I think there's just too much other stuff on here. I was super full - but I can always make room for Tres Leches. And this one was huge - I was expecting a single slice, and I got a mini-tray of cake. It was really good - not one of the absolute best tres leches I've had - but done really well regardless. The cake underneath the frosting layer was soaked super well. I could only eat a bit before taking this home. I paid around 50 dollars in total, including tax and tip. Was certainly not super cheap, but the portion sizes are really high. The pupusas especially were an excellent deal. Overall, the main dish was a bit of a miss, but the pupusas, tres leches, and atmosphere makes me want to come back. 8.5/10
