We ordered takeout from this restaurant and really enjoyed the variety of dishes we tried. We got the pupusas, fajitas mixtas, plantains, and chow mein, and everything was packed well and still tasted fresh by the time we got home. Everything was delicious! The pupusas were flavorful and nicely stuffed. The fajitas were well-seasoned and the chow mein was a pleasant surprise that brought a tasty twist to the meal. We definitely look forward to coming back to sit down and enjoy a meal in person next time. read more

Loroco Bistro is a gem for Salvadoran food and such a great addition to the local dining scene. We ordered the asada with shrimp plate, pupusa revuelta, pupusa de loroco, ensalada, and drinks including horchata and maracuyá. Everything was absolutely delicious. The meats were grilled perfectly. The asada had a great char and was flavorful without being overly salty, and the shrimp were cooked just right -- tender with a nice smoky finish from the grill. The pupusas were clearly made fresh and full of flavor. The revuelta had that classic savory, cheesy richness, while the loroco pupusa had a unique, slightly floral earthiness that makes Salvadoran food so special. Both were comforting and satisfying. The horchata really stood out. It's different from Mexican horchata and has a nutty, deeper flavor profile with a strong black sesame note that was incredibly delicious and memorable. The maracuyá drink was bright, tangy, and refreshing -- a perfect balance to the richness of the food. Overall, every dish felt thoughtfully prepared and full of authentic flavor. Loroco Bistro is an easy recommendation if you're craving hearty, delicious Salvadoran food. Definitely coming back. read more

The pupusas de harina de arroz (or rice flour) are fire! They are very delectable. The plates are very tasty as well. And the ambience is friendly. If you want to run into folks from El Salvador, here is where you want to come and have great food! read more

Had to try a new Salvadorean food place and it did not disappoint, from the aesthetic look on the outside to the quaint homely feel of home cooked foods on the inside. We were attended and seated right away mind you it was late evening with an hour before close. They have real horchata salvadoreña, and freshly made pupusas revueltas along with curtido y salsa de tomate, you know they make them upon order when they have that melted cheese everyone fights for at the table. My eyes were more hungry than what our stomachs could could handle. We ordered pupusas, platanos con frijoles y crema, lomo saltado(reminded me of when my grandma would maake bisctec con papas fritas) y chow mein those dishes are big and we were sharing but still ended up with take-out. Definitely a place to come back to for their wide selection of foods and beverages. read more

Going to keep this simple, this was our first time here under the recommendation from my sister. We had the pupusas and plantains...simply put. They were some of the best we've ever had, The ambiance was laid back with classic latin music playing which added to a good vibe. Last but not least the service was excellent, our server Lucy was patient with any and all of our questions before ordering and checked to make sure everything was good. Before I forget, the Salvadoran horchata was fantastic! I think I prefer it over my regular go to Mexican style but not a replacement. I don't want to make it a habit but we'll be back. read more

Such a great experience! Pupusas were amazing, the Revuelta and Asada did not disappoint. Great size pupusas and generously filled.

Highly recommend, you won't be disappointed! read more

Food**** -- ordered Chimichurri Steak and Sopa De Pata, absolutely loved it. The steak is cooked medium rare and really tender where flap steak is usually overcooked and dry. Soup is not as thick as the menudo which is nice- the cow feet is very tender and full of gelatin highly recommended Service*** -- after we ordered wait for some time until we got our water not sure why, no English menu so prepare to flip thru pic on Yelp if you want to find out what's in each dishes Ambiance*** -- family style, 2 TVs with sports channels on. Nothing stands out but also nothing to complain pretty standard read more

Went there about 3 weeks ago and they have changed cooks or something because everything tasted not the same as before! The pupusas de revueltas were salty and more masa than filling! The pastelitos were horrible!!! Tasted refrigerated and the flavor was not there just decided to take home to dump in trash because I didn't want to say they sucked and not to charge me for them. The only that was good was the Platanos con cream y frijoles and even that they need to give a bigger portion of frijoles and crema. read more

The ambiance is very plain kind of like going into someone's garage with tables set up, very hot/ no ac. Service was quick & friendly. We got pupusas to go. Packaged nicely, sauce & cabbage curtido neatly portioned & packed well with good taste. The pupusas however were extremely salty. We ordered six & only ended up eating 2 of them. We threw the rest away. Will not go there again. read more

1. La comida muy sabrosa y muy buenas porciones. 2. El sabor muy rico se tardan en entregar tu orden pero vale la pena esperar. Especial mente la sopa de pata te recomiendo ordenarla yo siempre que voy la ordeno. Las 4 estrellas son por la comida porque por ello no puedo decir nada y los señores que estaban anterior mente muy amables la señora y el señor cocinero Pero esta dos últimas veces que e ido me e sentido muy incómoda la verdad. Hay dos mujeres ellas hablan mal de los clientes hacen sus comentarios muy feos de los clientes. La mucha y una señora muy mal servicio uno llega y no te preguntan nada al Momento que ella llegan a la mesa a tomar tu orden solo se para enfrente de uno molestas con una cara de pocos amigos si no les gusta su trabajo es simple busquen otro porque lo que están asiendo es que esté restaurante tan bueno y de tan buena comida podría ir a la quiebra por personas como estas que tratan mal a sus clientes Lo digo porque este restaurante me encanta pero aveces me da asta cosa ir por no verle las caras a esas dos mujeres y nunca les e faltado el respeto cuando llego a comer a este buen restaurante Cuando uno trabaja con clientes nunca se habla mal de ellos y si tienes un mal día no lo demuestres a tus clientes. sal afuera y pon tu mejor sonrisa porque estamos para atender a los clientes y que disfrutes su comida no para echarles a perder su día con sus seres queridos . Ambiance muy bueno musica linda read more

I love the pupusas de frijol con queso! They are one of the best ones in Whittier!! You guys have to try this place out and the best vibes

Si les pudiera dar un cero se los daría Visité este lugar la semana pasada y la comida si está de buen sabor, pero el ambiente y las trabajadoras estaban de cara de chucho. Si no quieren trabajar, pues que no vayan. Que se vayan a un trabajo, donde no tengan que hablar con el cliente. Si te pido algo es porque te lo voy a pagar, no para que hagas la cara larga también. Yo no voy a que me regalen nada. Si salgo a comer y decido darle mi dinero a este restaurante, es porque te lo voy a pagar y no a ti al dueño. No recomiendo. read more

Pupusas are not it. Plátanos fritos plate is okay. Man I miss Sol Maya. Will definitely not come here again . Staff is rude.

Nice atmosphere, hostess was nice and offered a taste of the horchata since it's VERY different from typical Mexican/Spanish horchata. The salvadorian chow mein was very tasty, but the perfectly cooked chicken, skirt steak, and shrimp were overshadowed by the mushy and overcooked instant Ramen noodles that they used. Could have easily made this a 5-star by not using a 50 cent package of maruchan instant noodles... I was slightly disappointed, but it was still tasty. read more

Loroco Bistro - Salvadoran Near Me - Whittier, California

What a hidden gem for Central American food. Small location. There's a private parking lot, but it's sort of small and tight. The waitresses are nice and attentive. My only gripe is the menu is only in Spanish and the waitresses speak limited English, so it was quite difficult for me to understand the menu and order. I just pointed to a picture and prayed it was good. And it was!! My husband ordered the carne asada and chorizo. The meat was tender and flavored nicely. Went great with the salad. I ordered the fish filet with shrimp topped with some sort of crema sauce. Also delicious. It comes with "tortilla", which is the pupusa with no filling. The vegetable and sauce that comes with pupusa is good. Portion is big, so the price is reasonable for the size. We would definitely come back, and I will use my Google translate! read more

Amazing pupusas friendly staff. Make sure you bring some cash as the high end items are a bit pricey.

LOVED THIS PLACE. I came 45 mins before closing and I just loved loved my pupusas. I got some chicharrón and cheese pupusas and yum! The slaw was really delicious, and the tomato sauce was also flavorful. Usually the tomato sauce will be bland. The pupusas had really good rich flavor. Didnt take too long for my order. I will say that if you are coming to a restaurant and expect great food, do expect a little bit of wait time. Especially if food is made fresh to order! Service was great! read more
