El Sabroso - Yuca con chicharron salvadoreña. Y con ese chicharron. Aun mejor...lo mejor de lo mejor. Los mexicanos si saben hacer chicharrones. - Grocery Near Me - Los Angeles, California

CASH ONLY. Family owned and they are so sweet and friendly, don't worry they'll try their best if you don't speak Spanish! Pretty clean inside, no grease on floor. Who doesn't love hot fresh chicharron? Freshly fried chicharron is $10 per pound. I love that you can pick your own pieces. Chicharron is seasoned well. The ones without meat is a little harder and extremely crunchy, has more seasoning and I love that it's just the right amount of saltiness. I prefer the ones with meat still attached, meat portion isn't dry at all. They have lard, tostadas, tortilla, salsa and other items for sale. They unfortunately do not have any guacamole for sale. But it's okay, there are few grocery stores near by that you can pick some up at. read more

I randomly searched for carnitas near me and this place popped up, glad it did! It's a small corner store with carnitas galore. The workers were friendly and helpful. Prices are reasonable and not overpriced like a lot of other spots. You can also buy fresh salsas, manteca, and tortillas while you're there. Definitely worth checking out, support this small business! read more

I was at Sandra's Tamales in East LA. Besides tamales I wanted some chicharrones but they ran out. The owner of Sandra's took pity on me and told me about a place near Cesar Chavez and Eastern behind a new high school. He did not know the name of the place but drew me a map and off I went. I found the place and was pleasantly surprised. It's a true hole in the wall. The chicharrones were good but the pièce de résistance were the carnitas. They have maciza, cueritos and buche. The lady who attended said that they have been there for decades. read more

Good chicharrones, but need to be on Top of the cooking, some days they have a burnt taste. Some usually one pot is the that is not that fresh, read more

I can't say enough nice things about this place. I must have past it over a hundred times on my way to work but finally stopped in. They have a three different sections for meats: carnitas, chicharrón (with meat and just the rinds). It's self service so you can select the pieces you want. Staff have been super friendly and helpful (with my broken Spanish) and have given suggestions on how to serve and store the chicharrón. I've brought this home and to family members to try and we all agree it's one of the best places to get carnitas and chicharrón. read more

Best quality chicharrón and carnitas around. Put on gloves grab a bag and lick your pork. I like to get there early so I can have the first pick lol. The prices are great don't forget to bring cash only. read more

Food 10 Service 10 The only problem I had was that there was no sitting . This place is Chicharrón heaven on earth., but I really wish they had some sort of sitting so that you can enjoy the delicious carnitas, chicharrones and salsas... But if you want to pick up and enjoy at home, then this is so far a great spot for Chicharrones.. I still got 2 other places around the area I have to try and rate. ( zamora Bros, and Chicharrolan ) I'm coming soon read more

Best Chicharrones/Pork Rinds in the country! Most of the area tamalerias and Mexican restaurants buy their chicharrones at El Sabroso, which is a gigantic pork kitchen: chicharrones, chicharrones con care, and carnitas. Not much else, just large burrito size flour tortillas, fresh made fried corn tostada shells, fresh corn tortillas, salsas, crema, sodas. They only make my favorite chicharrones with meat once a week, not necessarily the same day of the week. Chicharrones run about $2 a pound less than anywhere else that re-sells this product from here at a mark up. Just street parking. Cash only. They give you masks and plastic gloves to use while serving yourself. The cashier weighs your purchase and tells you how much you owe. read more

Finally made it here. My expectations were high and I guess that is why I wasn't blown away. Their chicharrón con carne it was almost burnt, to crispy and dry. Their carnitas are about the same. Lean meat and not much flavor. The high note where their cueritos, super tasty and soft read more

I recommending this place to every one I meet. You can smell the chicharrón more than a block away. Be forewarned it is a cash only business. The service was so friendly, the food is amazing to say the least. My family and I won't be buying our chicharrones or buches anywhere else read more

So this will probably take a decade or two off my life by discovering this place but damn this is some fine hog. The carnitas are moist with a nice exterior...still juicy and crispy! The chicharron con carne was excellent and the regular chicharron was excellent chopped up and put into the meat for tacos. If I could I would be here once a week but my cardiologist would flip so I might have to limit myself. The place is no frills and there are not a lot of options...they have some drinks, tortillas and lard for sale. The folks working there were friendly and the price was great. read more

Best chicharrones in ELA. From carnitas, chicharron, salsas, tortillas and more.... I habe been recommening this place to everyone.

Best chicharrones around hands down! This place takes me back to my abuelitos home in Mexico where it all started. They only sell chicharrones, carnitas, buche, and cuerritos. You can pick up tortillas, salsa, and some lard and that's pretty much it. Chicharrones are crunchy and light like if your eating chips! read more

Everything is good: the food is delicious, the service is excellent. I have been visiting this place for several years. I think they have the best Salvadorean food in southern California.

First time going and the chicharrones are amazing! You do have to wear a mask when going inside and they give you gloves for the self serve. But the lady in the front was super nice to explain and who I believe may have been the owner was so sweet to my daughter she even have her a juice. I love it, will be going back for any chicharrón needs. read more

I buy the skins all the time, but yesterday was my last time. Stopped at am pm to get a scratcher was still hungry so I said I'll get some skins they were so stale had a expiration date of 12/21 the worse I've ever had because I have bought them before a couple of times at the store close to my house I just take them back & they were not expired but stale but not near as stale as the one I got not close to home. Something has to be wrong they don't stay fresh until the expiration date. On a lot of products stuff still taste fresh after the expiration date read more

The best we really like it the meat is fresh, we would love to go back but we leave to far. But when is another day off will go back

DELICIOUS!! Found a mine of gold.... that's all the do here Chicharron, Carnitas and Cueritos for those who love a little bit of Forbidden food The chicharon is well fried and very meaty The carnitas are crunchy on the outside and very juicy inside. It shreds very easily and lots and lots of flavor The place is small and super clean. It's mostly get what you want bag it and GO! The side items like salsa, tortillas, avocado dip and the usual lemon with the traditional onion and cilantro are NOT provided here unfortunately. That shouldn't stop you from trying the most succulent fry pork It's a small hole on the wall located on a quiet street corner read more

El Sabroso - Little Forbidden Gold Mine - Grocery Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Get your hog on! This place is by far one of the best Carnitas and chicharrón places in Los Angeles. The masters of pork here are by far some of the best at their craft. The Carnitas are fried to golden perfection not to salty, the pork rinds are spot on fried beautifully and placed in a big casserole within the store. The cueritos are nice and sticky and buche not overtly al dente or overlooked like at other places. This gem deserves your visit. read more

This place is absolutely terrific. This is a takeout only. Serve yourself, Chicharrón, Carnitas, Buche place. They give you a pair of gloves and you serve yourself Chicharrón from the three different bins in the center of the room and you can serve yourself the other stuff from a covered counter. Everything is $9/lb. The food is absolutely great. read more

Best Carnitas and chicharrones in East Los!!! Good prices. Very clean!!! They also sell packaged tortillas and salsas.

This is a great little place for carnitas, buche and chicharrón. You can choose your own pieces of meat. Nice and juicy to chop up and make tacos! Just grab your bag from under the carnitas and serve yourself. Then just place your bag on scale and someone will ring you up. read more

El Sabroso - Great place for carnitas, buche and chicharrón! - Grocery Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I think I love it tooo much The best canitas, chechas, and they use manteca rendered from the pork they prepare...none of that partially hydrogenated oil read more

Although it doesn't look great from the outside, paint is so old , you can barely see the name of the place. This grocery only specializes in Chicharones (pork skin) , they sell some beverages , but other than that , that's it . This place always has fresh Chicharones , usually i buy half a bag and that's enough for like three people , I use pork skin pieces to make corn tortilla tacos, i put some queso panela, cilantro, diced onions and some red salsa . Continuing on my review as soon as your walking in , you notice the scent of the place . It smells so good :), for those that have never tried pork skin , Is just sad because their so delicious , so don't judge food that you haven't tried please. The next thing you see is a big cazuela (casserole) full of pork skins, next to that some lunch bags & thongs so you can pick & choose your own pieces. Prices are so cheap , reason i am saying this ; is because anywhere else i go , the pieces are so old and stiff and prices too high. Only reason i took one star off , away from being 5 is because you have to park in the street . So no private parking but it's well worth it even if i have to walk a block away to get me some fresh chicharones, So whenever your in the area you should stop by ,don't be scared just because is located in East Los Angeles :). I believe they only accept cash $$$. read more
