Robert M.

Great food great selection great service. The pupusa's were huge and stuffed with ingredients would definitely come back here again, and the beer was ice cold and the prices are very reasonable.

Me encantó este restaurante, la comida estuvo deliciosa perfecta, la sopa de pata, llena de colágeno, los vegetales y la carne Suavecita, las pupas y no muy grasosas .. seguramente volveré !! The food was delicious. I recommend it to everyone. I was looking for a place like this. Very humble people. They're service is wonderful and anything I need. They brought to me. The space is perfect.

Queso Con Loroco pupusa and 2 Revueltas
Jasmin A.

Amazing and quick service! I love the horchata and the pupusas de loroco y queso were delicious. The platano y casamiento plate that my sis ordered was so good too. The platanos were perfectly sweet!

Pupusa Ahogada / Wet Pupusa Plátano con Frijol y Crema / Plantain with Bean and Cream Yuca Frita / Fried Cassava Costillas Asada

First time at this gem. Ordered - 2 pupusas, Costillas, Platano frito & more Food was packed with flavor. Great choice will be returning.

The best pupusas around can be found here at Loroco Bistro. Plenty of indoor seating and a wide menu to choose from. If they would only turn the music down a little, this place would be perfect.

Desayuno tipico

The food here is very good. I live in La Habra and was traveling to Downey for my Salvy food...no more. Found my new go to and half the distance. The portions are large and lots of flavor. The service was very good. Our server was attentive.

Pupusa revuelta and horchata dalvadoreña
Laura S.

The pupusas were huge. Curtido and sauce very good. Fast and friendly serve. Back ground music was good. Just a little loud.

Salvadorean Carne Asada con Camarón / Carne Asada with Shrimp and rice and beans

Delicious food and great service! The carne asada with shrimp and really good. The ladies are always nice.

a bowl of soup on a plate

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

I went on a 4 mile walk on the Whittier Greenway Trail, and decided to treat myself to some pupusas…read moreon my way back. I had a pupusa revuelta and a pupusa de frijol y queso. Both hit the spot. 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

This visit was for pupusas. I ordered two Revuletas (mixed), one Quest Con Loroco (cheese with locmroco), and one Queso Con Frijol (cheese and beans). They were all made fresh and were delicious! The pickled cabbage and salsa brought all the flavors together very nicely. I ordered a sode of cremation bit barely used it since the flavor combination was so good. Service was great too. They guy that helped me explained what was what and the lady who was cooking seemed pleasant too. I'm headed back to try their other options soon!

We always come here but sadly things changed. The food is still good,…read more the chicharrón is overcooked and stale. Ambience is still good. Service: sadly very disappointing. I was a waitress and didn't throw dishes, menus and utensils to the customers ( running to bring things, making a noise by putting the dishes on the table and rushing to leave the table). They bring appetizers with no extra plates to serve. Missing orders so what's the point of rushing us to order when they don't bring the items. Asking all the time what is needed on the table which items needed are common sense/ routine to serve a table. Waitress talking to customers over other tables... I like to tip service above 30% but sadly I didn't feel it this time. If you are new I will understand if you kindly let the customers know ahead of time. With all being said, this was not acceptable customer service. I will continue supporting our Salvadoreans Restaurants but please improve the service. Life is tough, living costs is high, we are still eating out and supporting our Salvadoreans Restaurants fellows, be thankful that you waitress have a job. Many are unemployed and wishing to have a job. I really understand customer service and serving are not easy tasks. Each day is a new beginning hope tomorrow customers will be delighted for your service.

Service is always on point but the FOOD. man. They have something for everyone. breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert. They have food from all over South America... its hard to pick a favorite. I mean I guess you'd assume that pupusas are their bread and butter and you wouldn't be wrong.... but everything is good. I love their tamles, their atole, lomo saltado, sopas, alfajores?!?!?! man. They even have simple meals that even kids would enjoy like your typical hamburgers and what not. I love their curtido that comes with the pupusas. not too tart, not too salty, perfectly seasoned, crunchy, and refreshing. Portions are always generous and filling. They do dine in, take out, and delivery. eat what you want, wherever you want. really the perfect choice for dinner or a quick lunch. or a snack. Super chill environment, plenty of parking... they really make it easy. I gotta try their whole fried fish dishes next time. Check them out and support a small business!

The bistec encebollado was good and tender but the meat had a lot of fat. It would have been nice if they trimmed it. It was served with white rice and beans. The pollo was good also. It was hubby's plate. He enjoyed it. I thought it was a little too salty for my taste but edible. Pupusas: mixed and queso con jalapeño. I enjoyed the mixed one. It had more flavor. The other tasted like pure cheese. The size was decent and good curtido and salsa. Overall maybe would consider coming back. A little pricey. Most plates started at $20. Plenty of parking.
