Shrimp soup very yummy
Klzlad D.

Real homemade food and Very clean place. Friendly service, highly recommend. Lots of parking too

Great food!
Landon C.

This place has really good food. They're not really on social media or the internet so I'm adding them to help get them noticed. Their burritos are bomb! They accept cards and are open til 9pm. Come by if you have the time, I posted a photo of the menu.

This spot is amazing!!! I can never find a place that has good panes con pollo. Hands down the best!! The customer service was great! The owner even came out to make sure everything was good. I will most definitely be coming back and bringing others with me.

If you're looking for authentic Pupusas like I was then this is not the place. Place was nice and clean. Food was ok.

10/10 would recommend!! Got sucked out to LA for the day and found this little gem. It wasn't super…read morebusy which was great because we had the opportunity to meet Juan! Juan was awesome -- very informative, even shared a little history of Pupusa's :) Nonetheless, the service was great but the food ** chefs kiss ** was phenomenal! We got 6 pupusa's -- 2 Bean & Cheese, 1 Pork & Cheese, 1 Al Pastor & Cheese, 1 Garlic & Cheese and 1 Asada & Cheese -- the garlic & cheese was our favorite, but all of them were phenomenal! Thank you, Juan, for the experience! I will be back!

I've been coming here since high school and I'm 24 now. The food was always really good, service…read moretypically welcoming and friendly but always expensive. We came a couple of months ago and had their loaded yucca fries with carne asada as well as some pupusas. The meat on our fries felt really low quality-- the best way I could describe it was it tasting like frozen hamburger meat-- and gave us indigestion for the rest of the night, which was really disappointing to experience. Today we unfortunately experienced some really rude service. My bf ordered a plain water and we were given a fresco ensalada (no big deal, he likes it) We don't eat pork and ordered fried yucca on its own, just yucca frita. We were given a plate of yucca con chicharron :( I told the service we just ordered yucca frita and we were told that we did not specify that for her. I explained that we don't eat pork so we sent it back and were met with a displeasing look. I said we didn't want to yucca anymore since we had a lot of food already and she said "the kitchen already made it." So I said it was fine but just the yucca this time and she came back with the same exact plate just without the chicharron-- no visible plate change. Needless to say for the price, decline in food quality, and rude service, it's not worth coming back. At least not for a while.

The pupusas were fresh (I could hear them being made) and they had aguas frescas, my favorite de melón. I think I'll Make this a habit :)

Sivar treats used to be a great place to eat, and the customer service was friendly. However, the…read morelast three times we've ordered the quality of the food and service has taken a turn for the worst. I let it go the first time when they got my order wrong and the tamales de pisque were super salty. Anyone can have an off day. The second time they got my order wrong again, but it was late and I didn't have the energy to make a fuss. However, tonight, they gave me the wrong pupusas and the platanos were burned. When I called back and politely let them know, the young lady on the phone seemed to be annoyed that I brought it up and dismissively told me to bring the food back. No basic courtesy, like we apologize for the inconvenience. When I got to the restaurant she rolled her eyes and took the food back in cold silence. The manager came out and again, no apology. I don't expect much, just basic recognition and common courtesy. I will not be eating here again and I caution you, that they do not value and respect customers enough to provide basic courtesy. **********+ Thank you, we appreciate your response and willingness to make things right. The only thing my wife and I ask is that you genuinely have a discussion with your employees and remind them that 99 percent of your customers are your neighbors, and we all want you to succeed. Here in Whittier, we have so many great dining options, so when we choose you, it means something. We will try again in a few months and we look forward to posting an update. Wishing you the very best. Sergio & Cristina
