Pupusa de Frijol / Bean Pupusa
Kiersten J.

Food was delicious, the place was clean and super cute inside, parking was easy (there is a parking lot), and service was kind! Will be back!

Great family owned Salvadoran restaurant. The dining area is a sort of covered area that is mostly enclosed but still somewhat open to the elements in terms of wind and temperature. There are parking spots to either sides of the restaurant. Had dinner here with colleagues. We tried a lot of their dishes and took back leftovers - mojarra, pupusas, mariscada, yuca fritada, etc. Everything was super good. We were helped mainly by a sweet, older woman who was helpful and patient. Definitely recommend.

this place was vibrant and satisfying, the portions were big for the price. the flavors were overall good, although maybe not the most flavor-packed thing i have had. the chicken in cream was amazing as were the yucca. pork was okay. they walk around handing out free plain pupusas that were warm and so good.

Carne Asada Combo
Meghan N.

Carne asada combo was soooo good and filling. Carne asada + salad + rice + beans + two handmade tortillas. Me encanto! Todo estuvo delicioso. Gracias

I drove all the way from the San Fernando valley. Is not that far away. I found this place on my timeline feed on social media. So I decided to come check this place out in person. I definitely recommend this place. The staff were amazing. Excellent customer service

Pupusa Revuelta /Pork, Beans & Cheese
Steph L.

Freshly prepared, cheese oozing out over the light crust. Very nice masa & bomb revuelta flavor. Maybe my best pupusa experience ever.

So much food
Thomas G.

First and foremost the food was amazing. This was my first time having Salvadorian food and I was lucky to have the best of the best. The Platabos were sooo yummy, the yucca were amazing, papusas (chorizo and chicharonne), the shrimp, carne, tortillas, all of it was just so amazing. Lastly I had a 1/4 quesadilla for dessert and, I was very confused as to why a quesadilla would be dessert but I learned exactly what it was and boy was it delicious. I cannot wait to come back here.

Breakfast
Sherly V.

Service was amazing. The lady was very sweet and she was the only one trying to serve 4 to 5 tables at a time, and she always had a smile. The Pupusas were deliciously However, the breakfast, the rice and beans was stale hard, and it wasn't fresh. The eggs were a lot of things going on. It did not look appetizing, and everything else was good. I will definitely return just for the Pupusas

Best shrimp pupusas! it is a small place feel with a worthwhile flavor. Highly recommend!read more

My boyfriend is Salvadoran, so we're always on the hunt for great pupusas and yuca frita. We…read moreusually make the drive to North Hollywood, but decided to give this place a try--and it definitely did not disappoint! We started with the ensalada, which was refreshing and had just the right amount of sweetness. For pupusas, we ordered the revueltas, loroco con queso, and frijol con queso. We tried both corn and rice dough, and honestly, both were delicious. My personal favorite was the frijol con queso with the rice dough- so flavorful and perfectly cooked. The yuca frita was exactly how it should be: crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside. The chicharrón was cooked perfectly as well, and the homemade green salsa that the sweet lady helping us made was the perfect addition. She was so kind, welcoming, and always had a friendly smile, which made the experience even better. Another thing that really stood out was how clean the restaurant is. It's spacious, with plenty of seating whether you're coming with a large group, your family, or just stopping by for a meal on your own. We absolutely loved this place and will definitely be back. Next time we're bringing my Salvadoran in-laws- I have a feeling this place will get their authenticity approval too! Spanish! :) Mi novio es salvadoreño, así que siempre estamos en busca de unas buenas pupusas y una rica yuca frita. Normalmente vamos hasta North Hollywood, pero decidimos probar este lugar y, la verdad, ¡no nos decepcionó para nada! Empezamos con la ensalada, que estaba deliciosa, fresca y con el toque perfecto de dulzura. Pedimos pupusas de revueltas, loroco con queso y frijol con queso. Probamos unas de masa de maíz y otras de masa de arroz, y las dos estaban buenísimas. Mi favorita fue la de frijol con queso; tenía muchísimo sabor y estaba perfectamente preparada. La yuca frita estaba en su punto: crujiente por fuera y suave por dentro. El chicharrón también estaba perfectamente cocinado, y la salsa verde casera que preparó la señora que nos atendió fue el complemento perfecto. Ella fue muy amable, atenta y siempre nos recibió con una sonrisa, lo que hizo que la experiencia fuera aún mejor. Otra cosa que realmente me llamó la atención fue lo limpio que está el restaurante. Además, es bastante amplio, con mucho espacio para sentarse, ya sea que vayas con un grupo grande, con tu familia o incluso si vas a comer solo. Nos encantó este lugar y definitivamente vamos a regresar. La próxima vez traeremos a mis suegros, que son salvadoreños, y estoy casi segura de que también le darán su sello de autenticidad.

I came here with a Salvadorian friend of mine because we wanted to try some authentic Salvadorian…read morefood, and I have to say, this place did not disappoint. I've actually traveled to El Salvador before, so I've had the opportunity to experience the food there firsthand. Since coming back, I really haven't found many places that gave me that same authentic taste and feeling--until coming here. Everything we tried was amazing. The pupusas, beans, plantains, meats, and all the traditional flavors were on point. You can tell the food is prepared with that real homemade Salvadorian style. If you've been to El Salvador and know what authentic Salvadorian food is supposed to taste like, this place will bring back some memories. In my opinion, this is about as close as you're going to get without actually getting on a plane and going to El Salvador. Great food, authentic flavors, and definitely a place I'll be coming back to. Highly recommended!

Rode by and saw they were open, so I figured I'd stop in and give them a try. Honestly, I wasn't…read moreexpecting much, but holy cow... I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. I only ordered one pupusa because I wanted to test the waters before committing to a full meal, but that one pupusa was absolutely . The flavor was on point, it was cooked perfectly, and you could tell it was made fresh. If that's what they're putting out on a single pupusa, I can only imagine how good the rest of the menu is. I'm definitely going to have to make another trip back so I can give the rest of the menu a proper shot. First impression? Definitely a win.

I went on a 4 mile walk on the Whittier Greenway Trail, and decided to treat myself to some pupusas…read moreon my way back. I had a pupusa revuelta and a pupusa de frijol y queso. Both hit the spot. The pupusas were fresh (I could hear them being made) and they had aguas frescas, my favorite de melón. I think I'll Make this a habit :)

I really wanted to like this place. This was my second time ordering from them through Uber Eats…read more The first time, I ordered because they were running a buy-one-get-one-free breakfast special. They forgot the cheese I paid extra for, but the food itself was so good that I was willing to overlook it and order from them again. Unfortunately, today's experience was completely different. The order took quite a while to prepare, which I don't blame on the delivery driver at all. I could see that he was waiting at the restaurant for an extended period, so I assumed they were just busy because of the promotion. When the food arrived, however, there were pieces of eggshell in the scrambled eggs. Even worse, while my boyfriend was eating his plátanos fritos, he found a hard piece of plastic in the food. Thankfully, he noticed it and was able to pull it out before swallowing it or getting hurt. I called the restaurant directly and also reported the issue to Uber Eats. I'm not writing this because I'm looking for free food or because I want to hurt a family-owned restaurant. I spent over $90 between the food, fees, and tip, and I ordered again because I genuinely enjoyed the food the first time. But finding hard plastic in someone's food crosses a line from an order mistake to a serious safety concern. Promotions and busy days happen, but food safety and basic quality control still have to come first. Unfortunately, after this experience, I would say eat here at your own risk. We were lucky enough to notice the plastic before someone was seriously hurt.
