    Pupusas for dinner... why not? I'm back in LA and was suddenly overcome with a desire for a good pupusa. I live in North Hills so fortunately for me there were several spots around me but I found the Estella's on yelp and it was highly rated so I decided to give it a try. The restaurant is super tiny with only like three tables inside but there are tables on the outside if you want to eat at the restaurant. I called in my order and was told it would take 20 mins. I ordered the cheese and beans and the pork cheese and beans palisades. Because it was a to go order they put the salsa and the cabbage slaw on the side which is great so that your Pupusa isn't soggy once you get home. I could only finish one because the portions were big but it was very tasty and not too greasy. I just wish it was stuffed a little bit more with ingredients but what I had it was really good. Definitely will come back and try different flavors.

    Plátanos fritos tuve que botarlos , rechinados oh con sabor a aceite viejo , bueno miren el color y el sabor lo dice todo , me dio dolor

    Pupusas pura masa , plátanos negros con Sabor a aceite re viejo y rechinado caro realmente fueron buenas en un tiempo hoy es horrible .

    Bien rica y caliente la comida, nos gustó mucho. El servicio excelente y muy rápido. Las pupusas estaban bien grandes y deliciosas. Encantadas de todo muchas gracias a estella por su comida y servicio bueno

    Takeout pupusas.

    This place is tiny! About four tables or so and very cramped, especially since there were other people dining in; and picking up food. There was hardly any room to stand. I was craving pupusas, so I ordered the revueltas (bean, cheese, and pork). Within 20 minutes I got my takeout. The pupusas were delicious. Flavorful and good ratio of masa/filing.The cabbage slaw (curtido) and mild salsa tasted fresh and complimented the pupusas. As much as I love to eat these wonderful Salvi corncakes, without the curtido and salsa - I find them a little too heavy. I love mom and pop type places such as this one...good food and friendly service. I will be back to try out their Salvi style breakfast and soups in the near future.

    Gross.

    No clue how they got the reviews, but these were the worst pupusas I have ever tasted. And it looks like they add water to their beans. Absolutely disgusting.

    The food is delicious, it's made fresh. It's a little pricey but all prices are tax included. FYI- they changed their phone number 818-571-2815. Cash only

    Food is good, pupusas are a bit over priced but the size is pretty big, so I understand.

    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.
