La Praviana - Soooooo cheesy and fresh - Latin American Near Me - South Gate, California

By far the best pupusas you'll get anywhere. I've been coming here for years and anytime I've had pupusas anywhere else it just only confirms my belief in this place. Made fresh when you order and their cortido goes amazing with them. Highly recommend read more

The best cheesiest pupusas. Definitely going back here. Forgot the price but the price wasn't overpriced. The inside could be better, kind of looks like the place is about to close down. Lady was super super nice read more

La Praviana - Pupusa revuelta and one of queso - Latin American Near Me - South Gate, California

I love the pupusas from this place. It's my go to place during lent for cheese pupusas but my favorite is revuelta.

Breakfast is delicious and service is fast. I always try to come here when I am in town.

La Praviana - 1 ordenas y pagas antes de sentarte 2 te asignan meza ,3 platos de papel,4 tardan de 20 a 25 min. - Latin American Near Me - South Gate, California

La pruviana plate. Porportion is very small the brown little cup are the beans . The rice is okay the meat has flavor but small piece size of a palm of you hand. definitely not worth 15 dollars plus tax. The meat was okay would not get again. Untill they fix the portion sizes. Not satisfied i give this plate 3/10 tortillas are handmade and thick so it was okay.. Now the ceviche was warm im guessing becuase they placed this on top of my plate wich steamed the ceviche so my husband was very upset we had to put it in the freezer for him to eat later so we ate off of my plate that literaly was cut u half like 5 bites lol.. he ate it after and said it had lemon but was missing cilantro or something he would not get this again that was 13 dollar plate . And the porportion was ridiculous it qas for only 2 tostadas very thin layer.. as you see in the pocture is how qe recieved it. This plate my husband rated 1/10 . Espcially the price and the amount of food given.. I will not be going back. The cashier mexican lady was very nice however i noticed a lady who worked there gave me this stare and definitely felt unwanted there.. not a nice feeling... read more

The pupusas were so yummy! The cheese makes all the difference! We randomly found this place and was a good find.

This place has the best pupusas!!! I've been coming here for years and it's always been consistently delicious. I love the curtido it comes with too. I'll be coming here for years to come read more

I've been coming here for many years but I noticed in the last couple of years service has taken a slide, mainly due to under staffed. I went there with my wife today and waited for our food a long time. Server never came by to check on us. We were served with disposable forks & knifes. This utensils were useless. The knife could not cut thru the soft popusas. We ended up having to use our hands to cut them. This made the dining experience very unsatisfying to say the least. read more

The best pupusas! I don't know about anything else, but the pupusas are fire! A perfect ratio of cheese and chicharrón to mass, I hate when places are skimpy. And they are large normal size pupusas. Some places have gotten smaller and smaller. I'm shocked this place has 3 stars. I can't say much for the service I never eat there, but the lady's are always fine when I order takeout. read more

No me gusta dejar malos comentarios pero en mi experiencia en este restaurante no fue buena la comida no estubo rico . Pedí pupusas y estaban muy secas con poco relleno la muy masa. Pedi yuca frita y me dieron muy pobre el plato para lo que vale la yuca no vale la pena.... read more

Las peores pupusas que he probado... de por sí me dan la orden mal, las pupusas de queso estan super delgadas y la mayoria de las pupusas estan con grandes espacios por dentro donde no tienen nada de chicharron ... el mejor lugar para ir a regalar el dinero ! Never back again read more

La Praviana - a hand holding a piece of bread - Latin American Near Me - South Gate, California

The food was bad, small plate of fajitas for $20 and it wasn't even fresh nor warm, you can tell they just put in the microwave. The ensalada is artificial flavor. Costumer service was bad as well, we asked to buy extra tortillas and the lady never came back. First and last time I come here I don't recommend. read more

Antes recomendava mucho esta pupuseria era la mejor, pero hoy en dia estoy muy decepcionada las pupusas nada que ver a como eran antes hoy son pura masa solo medio le pasan queso oh frijoles a las revueltas igual, es una tortilla de masa nada mas. read more

This place is not about fancy - it's about the food. Like most salvadoran food places, it takes a while to get your food so if you kinda have an idea of what you want try to get your order in ASAP. I love their soups: my go-to is the chorizo soup for now. It's delish! Their coffee is simply delicious as well. Parking can be a bit tricky since they are located in one of those small strip mall like lots that share space with an AutoZone, and a clinic. read more

Great food. Amazing coffee. The owner Miriam is extremely nice. I would recommend anyone to come here. Very good experience. Can't wait until they open up again. Until then, I'll still be getting takeout (: read more

The waitresses are super nice ! The pupusas were the bomb I could not get enough of it ! I would recommend this place to anyone who needs a fix! And I can't say it again that the waitresses were super nice ! read more

This place sucks. I went in there yesterday (8/29/17) and the front cashier chick has a major stank attitude. She swears I was asking her for a hand out. The name of the bottom of my receipt is "Andrea" so that may be her name. Anyways, this was my first time there and I ordered two pupusas to go. I was extremely disappointed when I got back to work. The masa was under cooked (I ordered the rice one) and the one with chicharron in it had none. They hardly put any cheese in both of them. The second pupusa barely had any spinach in it either. Their curtido sucked too. It's funny cause some reviews for this dump have 5 stars yet this place sucks. Not going to this dump again. read more

This place has the worst customer service I have ever experienced! We wanted to change our table and we asked the waiter if we can do it due to where we are sitting the cold air was coming in and the kids were getting cold. The waiter mad dogged us and talking among her other employee she stated "I'm going to let them wait cuz they wanted to change tables" let say that this was in a rude and sarcastic way. My husband heard her and snapped at her and said it's ok lady we'll stay here and we just walked out! I wanted to speak to the manager for it's not the first time that they do this! They should take classes on people skills or teach the employees how to give customer service. I'm not one to post about bad service but they really got me mad! read more

Let me tell you how greedy this restaurant is so greedy with the salsa I always come get pupusas from here these are my favorite but dam they are so greedy today I ordered 4 pupusas and they ALWAYS I MEAN ALWAYS give only 1 ONLY ONE little little salsa like it's enough for 4 I mean they have to at least give to here's a picture of how little they are and if you ask for and extra it's 89 cents for another and 2.89 for a little bit bigger one !!! Like that's insane read more

So disappointed in the customer service. The new cashier is rude when you pick up the food. The pupusas are not what they used to be. I asked harina de arroz and it was raw and way too thick. The curtido was way too spicy for curtido and what an inconvenience to not accept debit or credit anymore. I've been coming since I was a little kid but guess it's not what it used to be. read more

Went in to take my son to lunch. Lady at the counter kept looking at us then walking right past us. Way rude. We decided not to eat there but get a few drinks cause it was hot. Finally got her attention and ordered two large drinks (looks like medium sized cup). $5.51!? Seriously!? First impressions are everything. This place is rude, unwelcoming and overpriced. Not even if it was free! read more

La Praviana - Their version of a large drink would be equivalent to a medium drink elsewhere. @$2.50!? Estan locos! - Latin American Near Me - South Gate, California

This place has some BOMB pupusas. You can't go wrong with any kind. The fried plantains are delicious as well! They have home made Horchata and it's scrumptious. I did not have shitty service like others have mentioned. The place is colorful and has character. There are two male waiters and they were very friendly. read more

Siempre contenta con nuestra orden súper rico solo que el lugar está algo viejo y aveces las empleadas no son tan amables.

They make some of the best pupusas I've ever had. It's about the only thing I'll eat from their menu since my knowledge of Salvadoran food is very limited. Everything here is fairly priced, two people can pig out with less than $20 with change to spare. I typically call them ahead because pupusas usually take a while to make so I'd definitely recommend calling about 20 mins ahead. If you dine in prepare to wait a while for your food to be ready but it will all be worth it. The staff is extremely nice. They seem to be a bit under staffed for a popular restaurant which is another reason why I'd recommend getting take out. Otherwise, I'd recommend you get chelsea as your server, she's extremely nice and very attentive. The restaurant is located in a small plaza that neighbors a clinic and an auto zone so parking is very limited. Make sure you try their pupusas revueltas, those are the best! read more

September 12, 2011 at 7:45pm I bought some food at this location, and boy what a disgusting surprise. As my wife and I are scrambling the egg around I found this large dark hair that look much like a nasal hair uhhhh!!!. So I ask the waiter politely to look at my finding!!! He really did not act surprise to my claim. Any way he brought out a new plate and to my surprise another hair this time it look more a pubic hair!!!! The damm cooks got upset.... That's all I have to say I don't recommend this please called la praviana 8225 long beach blvd, south gate ca. They didn't even offered to discount my food or not charge me at all. I didn't even eat the dam food. They just lost one good customer... And many more..... read more

Been coming here since I was 5 (currently 28) this USED to be my favorite pupusas. Ever since the new owner started making changes, the pupusas aren't the same as they used to be. They changed the recipe on the pupusas which makes them taste nasty. They are now using a different type of cheese that makes the pupusas taste very different. Will not be going back. read more

I was in the area and wanted a quick bite. I decided to try this place despite the lack of reviews. To begin with the actual location is not very fancy. In fact, quite outdated. But if you can get past the look the pupusas are fantastic! The pickled cabbage that goes along with the pupusas is delicious! Give this place a try! I've gone back 2 other times since. read more

Bad customer service .I asked the lady who pick up the phone for her name..and she refused it..she was very rude. I don't suggest people to go there..go somewhere else .look for a better restaurant..0 star for this restaurant I hope the owners can read this so they can hire a better employee's..the date I called was today September-16-2019 @5:57 pm read more

The pupusas de queso y Chicharon are very good. We also order empanadas which is like a banana filling desert, They were okay. We also order the "pasteIitos" not good. And we also had better empanadas. The price for pupusas is 2.40 each. The waiter was kinda "stand-offish" Over all it was a so so pupusa restaurant. read more

First pupusas I've ever tried and well they're tried and true. Not bad but not the greatest....that I'll have to go to Upland for. read more

This place is near my grandmother's house so we visit occasionally when we're in the mood for some pupusas. The pupusas here are some of the tastiest I've had in the area. I am very picky because I am Salvadorean and I know what they are supposed to taste like :) The curtido(pickled cole slaw) is good here too. Some of the other dishes are good too. My grandmother likes their traditional soups as well. They also have really good authentic Salvadorean horchata....soooo yummy! Prices are pretty cheap, $2.25-$2.50 per pupusa and one is enough for me. read more

I got to say the pupusas were delicious;) I ordered a pupusa revuelta and pastelitos. The waiter was kind, the place was clean and the food came withing 15-20 mins. I will definitely return again. read more
