    Polo con loroco

    Found this hidden Gem in LB parking is street parking. Authentic El Salvadorian food!! Super fast service the place was packed , while walking in to be seated I couldn't help to watch everyone's plate and wanted to order everything. I couldn't stop eating ... now have food coma.

    I just pick up an order a few mins ago, we order revueltas which is cheese and chicharrón when I open this thing there was only a small portion and no cheese. They hired new people so the quality of their food is horrible, find another place to buy Salvadorenean Restaurant. This is the 3rd order where food had been horrible I wanted to support them but they clearly don't care about the quality of the food. Find somewhere else to eat and avoid this place!

    Bad service and pupusas were served cold and the whole experience was not worth the money spent.

    Disorganized. Be careful with takeout. They don't check orders and will give you the wrong food. Even after you ask them to double check.

    Took an hour to make my order and the food was mediocre at best. Bland no taste. Definitely not worth it. Go somewhere else.

    Live music
    Kitchen open late

    Stopped at this location after our concert. No wait time to get seated. Sat down and ordered some…read morefood and beverages. Received our food in a timely manner. Food and Service was good. We really wanted to hear some latin music while we eat. We were dissapointed since the dj or live band was set to start late. It was already 1030pm, no music to vibe too. Just to give you a heads up, there are two locations. Long Beach and Costa Mesa. The one in Costa Mesa displays shows like Flocorica dancing and live latin bands. Long Beach, not so much Overall, the food, service and latin ambience was great. I would comeback and try again.

    If you want good paella, do not come here…read more This was honestly the worst paella I've ever had, which was really disappointing because the restaurant itself had a nice atmosphere and live music. We ordered a half seafood and half meat paella, with added lobster and pork belly. Unfortunately, the actual food was terrible. Main issues: * The bottom of the seafood side was completely black and burnt instead of having a crispy socarrat. There's a huge difference between crispy rice and burnt rice. * The lobster was severely overcooked, burnt, and tasted terrible. * The pork belly was an extra charge, but there was barely any visible pork belly in the dish. It honestly just looked like tiny bacon pieces. * All of the meat throughout the paella was severely overcooked. Positives: * Our waiter was very nice. * The ambiance was good. * The live music added a fun vibe. * It was my birthday, so they gave me a complimentary ice cream dessert at the end, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, none of that made up for how bad the paella itself was.
