    Pan dulce
    Melissa S.

    Some of the best pupusas I've had. Staff is always friendly, and there's usually a line, but it's worth the wait! This location is a lot smaller than the one in Van Nuys but it's clean and nice inside. I will say parking is limited, especially during the busier hours. Street parking is scarce.

    SUCH GOOD FOOD!! the food, the drinks, the pastries, the pan dulce, everything here is so amazing! The customer service usually goes by really fast, depending on how long the line is. I also got one of their horchata's and it tasted amazing & was really refreshing. Been here a couple times already and the food is always being freshly made and it tastes amazing. This is definitely a place I keep coming back to! They have a small seating section, but I definitely recommend eating here!

    Customer service of the lady who helped us was horrible. I wish the other young lady would have helped us. I have been following this place in IG and drove from LAX to give it a try. I was so disappointed with the service she gave us. Even after I told her it was our 1st time visiting. She seemed so annoyed & bothered by us. My husband said I should have just walked out & not bought anything. Didn't try the food. Champurrado was super hot, but okay, nothing special. Bread was good. But for the drive, price & and customer service, I'll take hard earned money to my local bakeries. I was considering returning to give the food a try. But no thanks. Unfollow for us.

    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

    Came to this little whole in the wall a while back and saw the high rating and had to check it out…read more The food was delicious they Salvadorian chorizo with the crema and plantain was delicious, had to get a pupusa on the side just to satisfy the craving and it did not fail to impress. The servers welcomed you in like family and treated you as such. I felt very welcomed and would definitely come back for another breakfast combo it was delicious and for 15 dollars. Not bad at all.

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.

The pupusas were the highlight fresh, perfectly cooked, and packed with flavor. The curtido and salsa complemented them really well, adding just the right balance of tangy and spicy. You can tell everything is made with care and traditional recipes. We also tried the Torta Hula Hula, which was absolutely delicious and loaded with flavor. On top of that, the empanadas de frijol and empanadas de leche were both amazing perfectly made and seriously satisfying. We also checked out some items from the bakery, and they did not disappoint. The bread was soft, slightly sweet, and tasted incredibly fresh, perfect with a cup of coffee. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, and the staff were friendly and attentive. It's the kind of place that feels like home cooking rather than a typical restaurant. If you're in the Reseda area and looking for authentic Salvadoran flavors, this place is definitely worth checking out. We'll absolutely be coming back. Recientemente visitamos La Panaderia & Pupuseria Salvadorena Mi Tierra El Salvador y quedamos muy impresionado con mi esposo. Este lugar se siente como una joya escondida si tienes antojo de comida salvadoreña auténtica. Las pupusas fueron lo mejor frescas, perfectamente cocinadas y llenas de sabor. El curtido y la salsa las complementaban muy bien, aportando el equilibrio perfecto entre lo ácido y lo picante. Se nota que todo está hecho con cuidado y siguiendo recetas tradicionales. También probamos la torta Hula Hula, que estaba absolutamente deliciosa y llena de sabor. Además, las empanadas de frijol y las empanadas de leche estaban increíbles muy bien hechas y realmente deliciosas. También probamos algunos productos de la panadería y el pan artesanal estaba riquisimo. El pan estaba suave, ligeramente dulce y muy fresco, perfecto para acompañar con una taza de café. El ambiente es informal y acogedor, y el personal fue amable y atento. Es el tipo de lugar que se siente como comida casera más que un restaurante típico. Si estás en el área de Reseda y buscas sabores auténticos de El Salvador, definitivamente vale la pena visitarlo. Sin duda regresaremos. Muchas Gracias por el excelente servicio y sobre todo por la calidad de los platillos. Por Cierto manejamos desde San Diego para probar este restaurante que nos habian recomendado mucho!

Their carne asada and al pastor tacos are incredible, the tortillas taste homemade, and the portions are generous. The service is just as good as the food -- friendly, fast, and always welcoming.

This place is absolute fire

    Hands down, the absolute best pupusa I've had thus far! We decided to give them a try after finding…read morethem on Yelp. They opened back in November and are relatively new. The location is a bit hard to get to - you can see it from Sherman Way but it's located at the end of a small side street that parallels Sherman Way - it's basically a small shopping center at the end of the street with a bunch of apartments. I missed the turn in the first time around and thought there might be a back entrance around the alley but there's NOT, it's just one way in and out of the lot, off the small side street. The staff here are very friendly and helpful in answering my questions. It was Wednesday and they had a special on the tacos and the 3 pupusas. We ordered 4 tacos - two carne asada and two pastor, the carne asada plate with salad, yuca and chicharron, 3 chicharron pupusas, and the Jamaica drink. It was way too much food. I enjoyed everything, and my top favorites were the pastor tacos and the pupusas. The pastor was so flavorful and perfectly cooked! The pupusas were so good I forgot to take a photo. The combination of crispy edges, light and airy dough with the perfect amount of firmness, and the generous chicharron filling with the curtido - omg so, so good! I will definitely be back to get more pupusas and try their other dishes! They also offer a Mina's Box which is basically a to go lunch box and is a great deal. There's limited parking in the shared lot.
