I read some of the earlier reviews and most are spot on. This is more of a dive than a restaurant. The music is way too loud for a place to eat and enjoy your meal. The food is mediocre at best and I feel it's over priced. Hand made tortillas are decent. I was surprised that if you want "casamiento" instead of rice and beans they charge you extra. I mean casamiento is rice and beans mixed together!!!!! WTF???!!!! I was here for breakfast and before 11 the drunks had arrived and gave a good indication of this restaurant's customer base. Definitely not family friendly, at least not on a Saturday morning. I know at night they play music and have dancing. I think the reason they stay in business isn't the food, but more because of the booze sales and dive bar status in the neighborhood. My rating is really 2 1/2 stars. As such I won't be eating here again. Oooh and the kicker, they charge you extra for using plastic. In this age and day if a business charges their customers a fee for using a card to pay then they don't want my business.

Food is desent, slow service. Waitress is nice. Not much of a family restaurant more of a dive bar type of atmosphere.

I've never had a pupusa before, and this was our first time trying this restaurant,…read moreThe location was in Hawthorne , at 13908 Inglewood Ave. The food was amazing, we ordered a few different types of Papusa's , all were outstanding, but the one that stood out was the Revueltas/mixed which contained beans,cheese and pork. The cheese was so smooth yet salty and combined well with the beyond pork. Then fried on a griddle to perfection. You won't be disappointed, but if you don't phone your order be prepared from a 15-20 minute wait, the staff was friendly and helpful. The only other downfall is parking is extremely limited. they have plenty of seats inside and it's nicely decorated.

Aquí tienes un ejemplo de reseña en español para un lugar salvadoreño donde comiste pupusas:…read more ¡Una experiencia deliciosa en Restaurante y Pupuseria Lemus! Fui a probar sus pupusas y no me decepcionaron. La masa estaba perfecta, ni muy gruesa ni muy delgada, y los rellenos eran abundantes y sabrosos. Opté por la pupusa de frijoles con queso y la de chicharrón, ambas increíbles. El ambiente del restaurante es acogedor, ideal para disfrutar de una buena comida con amigos o familia. Además, el servicio fue rápido y amable, lo que siempre es un plus. Definitivamente volveré para probar más de su menú. ¡Altamente recomendado para quienes quieran deleitarse con la auténtica comida salvadoreña!

I was pretty disappointed with my experience here. I called ahead to order six pupusas and was…read moreasked whether I would be paying cash or card. I said cash and was told my total would be around $29. When I arrived, I was told the total was $29.70. While waiting, I looked at the menu and noticed the pupusas were listed at $4.50 each. Six at $4.50 should be $27 before any applicable tax, so I was confused about the total. I also wasn't automatically given a receipt and had to specifically ask for one. Cashiers demeanor was very condescending. The receipt made things even more confusing. It shows an amount of $30.81 with a $1.11 "cash discount," making the total $29.70, but there is no itemized breakdown showing what I was actually charged for each pupusa or explaining the additional amount. I don't mind paying higher prices if they're clearly disclosed, but the pricing should be transparent and customers should receive an itemized receipt. At nearly $5 per pupusa, I also expected the food to be much better. Unfortunately, I didn't think the quality justified the price, so I probably won't be returning.

Wow!!! AMAZING!!! Delicious food made with lots of love and kindness. Thank you for the service…read morefrom our server and staff. Loved the hospitality and the ambiance is peaceful loved the art pieces especially the Toucan Bird Painting beautiful work. Definitely will be back soon. Thank you.
