Making fresh
Saba

This hole in the wall place was near my hotel and decided to stop by, and was one of my favorites during my trip to california. The lady at the front was very kind, and told me the place has been open for 30 years!!! Tasting the food, i could tell why. I got and queso, jalapeño queso, bean and queso, and chicharron and queso pupusas. Along with this banana dessert the lady recommended. It took about 20 minutes but once i ate it, it was so worth it. Lady's were making it fresh in the kitchen and you can tell. The dessert was also not very sweet and had a strong banana flavor. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACEE.

I think that dark thing is supposed to be a piece of potato.

I'm so disappointed with the pupusas revueltas. They were bland and the beans had a burned taste. They were not the worse though, the chicken tamales were awful I threw one out I couldn't eat it. I'm confused as well because we had their food a few months ago and it was delish. Please fire the cook and rehire the last one.

An alumni from Cal Poly Pomona told me about this place so I decided to try it out and to my surprise the Cheese Pupusas Salvadoran Style and the Salvadoran Style Horchata were all pretty good! Don't forget to add the salsa and soaked salad sides they give you on top of the Pupusas to make the experience better.

Inside, no seating.

The pupusas are amazing and affordable, you can feed a family of 6 and not break the bank. This is our family go-to pupusa restaurant.

Delicious, the service is amazing the employees are welcoming an nice, the pupusas are worth a try…read moreI've had bean and cheese as well as The chicharrón and beans worth a shot to try

1 STAR If I could give ZERO stars, I would!…read more Absolutely HORRIBLE experience! I placed my online order at approximately 6 PM and didn't receive my food until 7:13PM! I spent OVER 30 MINUTES waiting in the drive-thru, only to receive one of the most disappointing orders of carne asada fries I've ever seen.I paid $16.99 PER ORDER for what?! A pile of meat and cheese thrown on top of fries?! No beans, no other toppings, NOTHING! I specifically requested my fries WELL DONE, and after waiting that long, you'd think they could at least get my order right. The food looked like it was carelessly thrown together with absolutely no effort.To make matters worse, the ladies working there had an attitude! As if waiting over an hour and paying $42.37 for this disappointing food wasn't bad enough, I also had to deal with rude customer service. I understand restaurants get busy, but there is absolutely NO excuse for poor customer service, ridiculous wait times, and food that looks like this, especially at these prices! I work hard for my money, and spending over $40 on food that looks like it was just dumped into a container is beyond frustrating. If you're going to charge $16.99 for carne asada fries, at least make them worth the price! Save your money and your time. I will NEVER be returning. Completely unacceptable!

My family is Salvadorean so I am just a little bit picky lol…read more We all ordered pupusas this time but I have had their breakfast and it is lovely. The customer service stands out, I've only ever had the same guy serve us which I think might be the owner. He was busy busy but still provided good service. The decor in the restaurant is very cute and there's multiple signs letting you know that good fresh food takes time lol We ordered pupusas revueltas, tamal de pollo, a side order of casamiento, horchata and a coffee. Prices are great! I love the little bread (Madeleine) he gives each customer. I had it with my coffee and it was delicious. Again, I'm a little picky and I LOVED the horchata. The pupusas were delicious and not greasy, which is important to me. It's so hard to find good salvadorean tamales but these are solid! My boyfriend loved the casamiento. There's so many items I want to come back and try like the bistec encebollado, pupusa de queso con Loroco, sopa de res, empanada de leche and pastelito de carne. If you're debating coming here, don't, you won't regret it!

We've been coming to this place for almost 4 years and have loved every single tome we visit. They…read morehave the BEST Salvadoran food I have ever had, I believe they have the best in the inland empire. The service is so friendly and we are regulars, the owners are kind to us and our kiddos. They always have great music playing for ambiance and the quality of food is always 10/10. Everything is freshly made so do not expect for fast food speed, the wait will be so worth it! I will never go anywhere else for Salvadorian food. This is IT! Some of my favorites are the pupusas with chicharrón and cheese, zucchini cheese and garlic, the huevos rancheros, plátanos con crema , pollo en crema, and the chicharrón if you don't mind fried pork!
