This place is hands down the best Salvadoran restaurant I've had in the Valley. The plantains are…read morealways fresh, the pupusas are consistently delicious, and the service is amazing. Food comes out quickly, which makes the whole experience even better. There isn't a single thing I've ordered here that I didn't love. My husband and I always go for the steak pupusa, a revuelta pupusa, and a chicharrón con queso pupusa. If you're looking for melt-in-your-mouth, flavorful pupusas, this is your spot. They also offer deals on certain days, which is a nice bonus. Allison and Maritza provide exceptional service and truly make you feel taken care of. They give prima vibes and I'm here for it! The ambiance feels like you're at your tía's house, music playing, lively energy, and just the perfect vibe for enjoying amazing food. They've got soccer on one TV and something else on another.

Restaurant prefers Zelle or Cash. Fee for credit cards…read more Located in a small corner plaza on Tampa and Roscoe. Parking can be limited. Restaurant does have at least 1 reserved parking spot. Ordered 18 pupusas for a party, total with taxes was 88$ . So about 5$ per pupusa with tax on average. Taste was authentic, order was ready on time and service was excellent and personal! Restaurant is cozy but spacious, great decorations and setup. This gives the location a warm , welcoming and authentic ambiance. Overall I like this pupuseria as the transaction and pick up was seemless and efficient compared to other locations.

Johnny Pacific has a great reputation of being a special gem, specializing in Latin-Caribbean and…read morePacific Island inspired empanadas. It's been around for over 20 years and is currently in a newer space than it was before; featuring more parking and a larger space. Ambiance: The interior has a relaxed feel with beachy surfer themed decor. It has a clean modern feel with a bunch of tables featuring accent colored chairs. There is music in the background and a TV on the wall featuring surfing videos. Service: You order at the counter, they ring you up and you get the food brought out. You can see the kitchen as it's open. It was my first time and it was a simple and easy experience. Everything came out in a timely fashion. Food: Some of their specialities include the 20+variations of fried empanadas (meats, chicken, pork, veggie, dessert) that come in both savory and sweet types, as well as their speciality plates such as their Korean-style flat iron steak skewers and chicken satay. The sauces they serve with their empanadas are incredible and some of the best I've ever had such as their chimmi-churri, basil-aioli and sweet & sour Thai. I recently did the lunch combo featuring a choice of a 1/2 salad or 1/2 fries, choice of any two empanadas and a canned drink. I chose beef and Kailua pig empanadas; both were great, empanadas didn't break apart and were crispy, everything was seasoned well; the filling of the beef was a bit more than the Kailua pig however. Drinks: They have various drinks such as lemonade, juices, sodas/soft drinks, and some beers on tap. Parking: The lot is large and has ample parking depending on the day and time. Prices: Prices are to the times that we're in...so not too great. Ala carte empanadas are $5+ but as you order more (4, 12) the prices come down a slight bit.

Their chicken salad is especially delicious! Chicken breast with a big salad and a lot of fresh ingredients. Their drinks are also delicious. Sweet and cold. I could easily stop in for those. The service there is outstanding and everyone is friendly. They have a beautiful dining room with bright colors and decorations. It just feels friendly and comfortable. I've gotten the food to go and it traveled really well. When I pick up, I can't wait to eat it.

My review is based on the prices. I went to order in person:…read more4 pupusas revueltas and 3 with cheese. They told me my total was $38.49 for 7 pupusas. Honestly, their food is some of the best Salvadoran food, and I always recommend them to my friends when they ask for good Salvadoran food. Sadly, I can't afford these prices. It's also strange that everything on the menu has prices, but the pupusas don't. That makes me feel like they charge whatever they want for them

BOOM!!!! A must stop…read morefor Columbian! Know that this is a very busy place to though.This was a truly amazing experience into the flavors of a Colombian meal. I decided to go with here to taste a different part of the world. The dish I selected, is the Banda Paisano Trifeca which is a macro and micronutrient bomb of delicious vegetables, starches, and protein. Apparently many with very hard physically demanding jobs need a "strong meal," and within Columbian Culture this dish was formed. Beautiful story, AND it has blood sausage!!! The place was slammed but got me the first available seat in 10 mins or so, and though we both couldn't communicate beyond the common cordial words and menu semantics, her demeanor and body language was very inviting and courteous. This place was a class act. Get you some!!!

I live 4 hours away from this place, so everytime I am in the Los Angeles area I try to stop here…read more I ate at this place on Monday 6/9 around 5 pm knowing that they were closing at 6 pm. Flavor was spot on as usual. Things I did not enjoy this time: 1. I was charged for 2 chorizos when I had only ordered 1. (Always ask for printed invoice and check before leaving). 2. I was charged $6 for a chorizo that was as long as my thumb. In the past their chorizos were much bigger and cheaper. (Do not order chorizos a la carte). 3. The meat in my "bandeja paisa" was ver fatty. Maybe my negative experience had to do with the fact that the restaurant was about to close.

Traditional Salvadorean Cuisine in the SFV!…read more Our first time trying Salvadorean food at this family owned restaurant in Reseda. Carlos gave us some great recommendations so we ended up trying pupusas for the first time. It's made with a homemade corn dough. It's thicker than a regular corn tortilla and stuffed with ground pork and cheese. They have a variety of fillings. You can add salsa roja, a flavorful tomato-based sauce or habanero sauce. Served with Curtido, a tangy, fermented cabbage slaw. So crispy, cheesy and filling. It came burning hot - I could barely hold it. But, I would definitely order this again! We tried Desayuno Típico, a traditional Salvadoran breakfast, which came with casamiento (beans and rice mixed together), Salvadorean style chorizo, fried plantains, 2 eggs, avocado, fresh cheese and Salvadorean style sour cream and homemade corn tortillas. Tip: Bring Cash. 4% to use credit card

If you're craving authentic Salvadoran comfort food made with love -- this is the spot!…read more The pupusas were perfection -- handmade, and stuffed generously with rich, savory fillings. I got the beans one, soooo good! Crispy on the outside, soft and melty on the inside... chef's kiss. Paired with the fresh cabbage salad and salsa, every bite was full of flavor. The pan con pollo was just as amazing -- tender, well-seasoned chicken with fresh veggies and bread that soaked up all the goodness. So hearty and satisfying! And don't skip the atole -- warm, comforting, and perfectly balanced. It felt like a hug in a cup You can truly taste the authenticity and care in every dish. Portions are generous, prices are great, and the overall vibe is welcoming and comforting -- like a home-cooked meal away from home. 10/10 Highly recommend if you love flavorful, authentic Salvadoran food.
