La Tapachulteca replaced a Cocos which my family used to go to for many years. Since my mother realized Cocos is no longer there she was curious what replaced it. I am usually down for new places but with my mother, it is a whole different experience. First off she doesn't understand this is a Salvadoran restaurant and although you cant sit and eat inside, it is not a sit down restaurant. As you enter you'll see several sections of food items and snacks as you would find at a market. There is a queue for the hot foods that takes a while until its your turn to be served. While in line we were looking at the menu on their screens. The menu rotates a lil too fast for us since we are not sure what to order. My mother thought the order process would be like a Chinese take out were you order a base and a couple on entrees but I told her its not. As we were next to be served I asked how does the hot foods work? The immediate server didn't know English and needed someone else to assist. While the next server explained the jist, I relayed the message to my mother and asked her to pick one hot food item. The food items are not labeled so you would pretty much need to know what you are ordering by sight and experience. I believe what I chose for my mom was Ropa Vieja. Since I've never been here before I was a bit overwhelmed and just stuck with revuelta pupusas. I did ask for queso con loroco but I was told it would take 25 mins to make so I opted out. We did eat in their little eating area and while my mother seemed to enjoy her meal, it just wasn't exactly what she was expecting. Maybe next time I'll have a better time creating an order for us with ease. Parking: private lot VERDICT: One and done

Nuegados ???

Si yo fuera alguien que nunca ha probado los nuegados y quisiera probarlos por primera vez ... esta lugar definitivamente fuera el último que probara ... saben a cualquier cosa MENOS a nuegados . $10 que bien los pude haber invertido en otra cosa hasta hojas de jocote saben mejor que estas cosas ....

Ok

1st off the place is like a market where the make food cafeteria style, lines can be tricky and they may take long making the food cold, pupusas was ok and the empanada de plantano and bean was ok too, kinda have to be quick to get a seat but not to bad but its not a quiet sit down , i went and got spices and bread and that was covinient, they also have breakfast plates may have to have a taste and second my review

Creo que deberían de mejorar la rapidez en el servicio inmensamente, tienen mucho cliente y todos los trabajadores quieren hacer todo. Los trabajadores no tienen culpa, pero deberían de tener una persona corriendo el piso. Uno debería de enfocarse en tomar órdenes, otras personas meramente en servir órdenes y una persona corriendo el piso. Para que no se pare la línea. Vi gente irse. Porque se detiene mucho el servicio. Por experiencia. Demore como 25 mnts en ordenar. La comida estaba buena.

Antojitos

Food is good, service is slow (all the girls look zoned out or mentally checked out LMAO). We came for lunch for their 99cent pupusas on Thursdays but wait time was one hour so we skipped out and got the ready to eat Panes con pollo. They have a lot to offer but they could be great if they had better service that was more attentive. Oh! And they don't offer to go menus. They said to look online or up on their prompts. I will say the outside is deceiving, given that the inside is filled with culture.

Best shrimp pupusas! it is a small place feel with a worthwhile flavor. Highly recommend!read more

My boyfriend is Salvadoran, so we're always on the hunt for great pupusas and yuca frita. We…read moreusually make the drive to North Hollywood, but decided to give this place a try--and it definitely did not disappoint! We started with the ensalada, which was refreshing and had just the right amount of sweetness. For pupusas, we ordered the revueltas, loroco con queso, and frijol con queso. We tried both corn and rice dough, and honestly, both were delicious. My personal favorite was the frijol con queso with the rice dough- so flavorful and perfectly cooked. The yuca frita was exactly how it should be: crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside. The chicharrón was cooked perfectly as well, and the homemade green salsa that the sweet lady helping us made was the perfect addition. She was so kind, welcoming, and always had a friendly smile, which made the experience even better. Another thing that really stood out was how clean the restaurant is. It's spacious, with plenty of seating whether you're coming with a large group, your family, or just stopping by for a meal on your own. We absolutely loved this place and will definitely be back. Next time we're bringing my Salvadoran in-laws- I have a feeling this place will get their authenticity approval too! Spanish! :) Mi novio es salvadoreño, así que siempre estamos en busca de unas buenas pupusas y una rica yuca frita. Normalmente vamos hasta North Hollywood, pero decidimos probar este lugar y, la verdad, ¡no nos decepcionó para nada! Empezamos con la ensalada, que estaba deliciosa, fresca y con el toque perfecto de dulzura. Pedimos pupusas de revueltas, loroco con queso y frijol con queso. Probamos unas de masa de maíz y otras de masa de arroz, y las dos estaban buenísimas. Mi favorita fue la de frijol con queso; tenía muchísimo sabor y estaba perfectamente preparada. La yuca frita estaba en su punto: crujiente por fuera y suave por dentro. El chicharrón también estaba perfectamente cocinado, y la salsa verde casera que preparó la señora que nos atendió fue el complemento perfecto. Ella fue muy amable, atenta y siempre nos recibió con una sonrisa, lo que hizo que la experiencia fuera aún mejor. Otra cosa que realmente me llamó la atención fue lo limpio que está el restaurante. Además, es bastante amplio, con mucho espacio para sentarse, ya sea que vayas con un grupo grande, con tu familia o incluso si vas a comer solo. Nos encantó este lugar y definitivamente vamos a regresar. La próxima vez traeremos a mis suegros, que son salvadoreños, y estoy casi segura de que también le darán su sello de autenticidad.

I came here with a Salvadorian friend of mine because we wanted to try some authentic Salvadorian…read morefood, and I have to say, this place did not disappoint. I've actually traveled to El Salvador before, so I've had the opportunity to experience the food there firsthand. Since coming back, I really haven't found many places that gave me that same authentic taste and feeling--until coming here. Everything we tried was amazing. The pupusas, beans, plantains, meats, and all the traditional flavors were on point. You can tell the food is prepared with that real homemade Salvadorian style. If you've been to El Salvador and know what authentic Salvadorian food is supposed to taste like, this place will bring back some memories. In my opinion, this is about as close as you're going to get without actually getting on a plane and going to El Salvador. Great food, authentic flavors, and definitely a place I'll be coming back to. Highly recommended!

I only ordered one pupusa because I wanted to test the waters before committing to a full meal, but that one pupusa was absolutely . The flavor was on point, it was cooked perfectly, and you could tell it was made fresh. If that's what they're putting out on a single pupusa, I can only imagine how good the rest of the menu is. I'm definitely going to have to make another trip back so I can give the rest of the menu a proper shot. First impression? Definitely a win.

Hands down best pupusas to eat Definitely will…read moreBe coming back for more and more Yuppieeeeeeeeee

I really wanted to like this place. This was my second time ordering from them through Uber Eats…read more The first time, I ordered because they were running a buy-one-get-one-free breakfast special. They forgot the cheese I paid extra for, but the food itself was so good that I was willing to overlook it and order from them again. Unfortunately, today's experience was completely different. The order took quite a while to prepare, which I don't blame on the delivery driver at all. I could see that he was waiting at the restaurant for an extended period, so I assumed they were just busy because of the promotion. When the food arrived, however, there were pieces of eggshell in the scrambled eggs. Even worse, while my boyfriend was eating his plátanos fritos, he found a hard piece of plastic in the food. Thankfully, he noticed it and was able to pull it out before swallowing it or getting hurt. I called the restaurant directly and also reported the issue to Uber Eats. I'm not writing this because I'm looking for free food or because I want to hurt a family-owned restaurant. I spent over $90 between the food, fees, and tip, and I ordered again because I genuinely enjoyed the food the first time. But finding hard plastic in someone's food crosses a line from an order mistake to a serious safety concern. Promotions and busy days happen, but food safety and basic quality control still have to come first. Unfortunately, after this experience, I would say eat here at your own risk. We were lucky enough to notice the plastic before someone was seriously hurt.
