Disgusting. I ordered salpicón and the meat was old and dry and it tasted like it was going bad. The Pupusas were half raw half well done. They didn't check up on us if it wasn't just to give us or food or drinks. No wonder this place is always empty! they also over price their stuff and it's not even worth it. read more

TERRIBLE customer service. Waited 20 minutes just to get a menu, they only have 2 waiters working and it's too much for them alone. They attend first come first serve, so I waited more than an hour for a order of cheese Pupusas, btw this is "the Pupusa house" right? I was very hungry so I patiently waited and ordered guacamole for my chips, which is way OVER PRICED. I ended up leaving after waiting for 80 minutes. I was charged 13$ for guacamole, and 2 drinks and bad service. THE OWNER/ or manager also, a very rude lady. Instead of saying I'm sorry for a bad experience, she responded with "this isn't McDonald's, you have to wait". Long story short, NEVER coming back. read more

I love their pupusas here ! Super affordable and very delicious(: I haven't really tried much else of the menu. Unfortunately we don't have many salvadorean food spots here in town so this is always a go to for me. I've been going here for years literally just to order takeout salvadorean snacks. I highly recommend trying their pupusas(: read more

I bought pupusas here for the first time, and honestly I'm not coming back. They're over priced for the size and taste. I'm only giving them two stars because they give a lot of curtido and salsa. read more

Great tasting pupusas, light and filling. We also ordered the fried bananas, with cream and beans and Salvadorian horchata. Food was good,service was slow but we'll be back. read more

The food is good the service not so much. I've been here two times and both times the service was thumbs down. You seat yourself and the workers bring you the menu. They bring you chips and salsa as an appetizer and take your drink order. After they come back with drinks they take your food order. When they come with the food, which is not a long wait, that's the last time you really see them. Both times I went, they didn't come and check on us to see how we liked our food or if we needed anything else. First time I went, we had to wave the worker down to bring us extra items we needed. It was semi busy the first time I went so I didn't really look into it much, but the second time I went, we were the only ones there and still the workers didn't attempt to see how we were doing or if we needed anything. Next time I'll probably just order to go since I just go for the pupusas any ways. read more

I came here really hungry, I was craving Central American food was told this place was good. Ordered to Go and this place tbh sucked. I ordered chorizo con huevos which comes with beans and plantains. Beans they gave a small quantity (4ounce cup) and idk that day they was super watery and tasted super bitter like expired, didn't touch them. And to top it out the plantain they gave me two small pieces. I paid 12 bucks for this crap, two pieces of plantain! Seriously?! For being in a rush I lost and I ended up staying hungry at this place. Yo at least give me the full plantain! This place is overpriced for a small amount of food. Not expecting to be a full plate but don't be cheap with the plantain make your guy's plate look appetizing. And check your beans! read more

The food was good but the service was horrible. We did get checked up on and never once received a refill on our drinks ,(which by the way was just water), and then when we went up to pay the lady was been very rude. I recommend if you do go to get food from here get it for take out. read more

As I sat at Los Cabos, eating all sorts of delicious foods, and being waited on by a wonderful waitress, (I don't speak Spanis), I read some of the reviews on my phone. I don't know about any of their other waitresses, but I can't imagine how rude I would have to be to take the beautiful smile off this young lady's face. She treated us VERY well, and was a perfect waitress. I had the chicken with Salvadorean cream sauce, and loved it. I had to try a pupusa, so I got the Pupusa Con Todo, which I very much enjoyed. My lady had the seafood soup, which came in a HUGE bowl, and was also very tasty. We'll be in Bakersfield for the next four months, so we should be able to make it back a few times before heading north in late April. read more

Excellent food for an excellent price. everything here is pure salvadoran!! The staff is so wonderful and the pupusas are to DIE FOR. The Corn Tamales were amazing as well!! read more

Papusas!!!! Ok ok. This is a hole in the wall type of restaurant. Do not expect to be greeted upon arrival very fast. Just go in and grab an open table. Most likely you will be greeted shortly by a Spanish speaking lady. If you don't know Spanish; don't worry, they won't discriminate. This is not a Mexican restaurant so don't expect chips and salsa. I'll start off by saying that the place was bigger inside then I thought. Walls are painted with bright green and orange colors. The walls are covered with pictures of various soccer teams. One side of the restaurant appears to serve as a dance floor and it also has a big jukebox which was playing many Spanish songs the entire duration of our visit. To me, the music gives it that much more of an authentic feel. I was introduced to Papusas when I married my wife. Her mom is from El Salvador and introduced me to the culture and foods. It is a bit different than Mexican foods. I was instantly hooked. Papusas are a staple comfort food in the homes of salvadorans. Finding a place that does not make them too greasy or too much masa is rare. We ordered Papusas revueltas which have always been my favorite. I also ordered the tamale de pollo. The Papusas are served with Curtido on the side. Curtido is s cabbage slaw with small amount of peppers and vinegar. The Curtido pairs with the papusa well by bringing it another texture of a small crunch and freshness. Go beyond the Curtido and add salsa and/or tapatio. To sum things up, the Papusas were light and had a perfect balance of meat, cheese and masa ( dough). The tamale was ok. The salvadorans tamale is prepared slightly different than a Mexican tamale. They are prepared in banana leafs as opposed to corn husks. It did taste authentic and hit the spot to fulfill the taste of my mother-in-laws cooking. Also, the horchata was perfect. I'm happy to have found this place. We'll be back when my cravin for good authentic salvadoran food becomes too overwhelming to resist again! read more

I go out of my way to eat here. It's on the far other side of town for me, but the food is scrumptious and worth the trip. Our waitresses have always been cheerful and efficient, irrespective of whether I'm speaking English or butchering Spanish. (Mi Español is MUY poquito) Our drinks never ran dry...and we can go through the iced tea. The owner is a delight to chat with and takes a genuine interest in his customers. We initially came in to try pupusa since I had never had them and was curious. We return because the Salvadoran food is a gustatory orgasm. I've had the pupusa con queso y loroco, the pupusa with zucchini and queso and my sweetie had pupusa con todo and pupusa con chiccarones. All were delicious. Loroco is a flower that adds a subtle but delicious flavor as well as being very good for you. It's hard to describe but quite tasty. The seafood soup is probably the best Ive ever had and the portion enormous. I got two meals out of it. Ive also had the mar y tierra, which is a shrimp and steak dish in an exceptional cream sauce. Everything has been truly delicious. They have some standard Mexican food offerings, but the Salvadoran cuisine shines! read more

The pupusas are delicious here! I've tried the ones "con todo" and the "chicharron con queso". They are the best in kern county I would say. I've also tried their meat empanadas. They are equally delicious! Their fried plantains with some cinnamon cream filling are a must try! I would not recommend their shrimp cocktail as it tasted old and was not cold enough! I also don't like that they do not have a soda machine, so you have to buy overpriced canned sodas. The service is just ok. It could be better, but the delicious pupusas makes up for it! read more

I really like the food, atmosphere and service here but its just a bit pricey. The pupusas are $2.50 which is double the price for what I normally buy them for. They do have a great beer selection including Pilsener and Regia. read more

Great food no one speaks English tho. The wait was kind of long. Ur the food excellent would def come again!! read more

You can go anywhere for good food but its really customer service that wins me over. read more

This place was way over priced and they took forever to give us the food and the drinks were over priced and to top it off they charge to use card to pay for your bill even though it was already expensive I would say be careful what you get here or do not come here at all especially for pupusas because it is not worth I give it a 1 star out of 5 read more

The only place in Bakersfield we have gone for pupusas and I think I don't have to go somewhere else it's very good, i called the order in and it took a little while but it was worth it when I got home they were still warm read more

I would've given 5 stars, but the service was extremely slow and not attentive. The food was very delicious. You'll not be disappointed with their food. Shrimp pupusas was the best. read more

¡Exquisitas pupusas! But poor customer service. Their rice based pupusas are delicious. And this coming from a born and raised Salvadorian palate. read more

I give this place five stars not because the service is great, but because the pupusas are pretty awesome. I hate when be people give bad rating on restaurants that serve good food. Customer service is not great, don't expect to be seated, served and checked on. Drink refills are not free just an FYI read more

Amazing Food. Best Pupusas I think I've ever had. Service was extremely fast and very friendly. Will definitely be back.

I usually get an order to go. The pupusas are killer, just like the ones I had in NYC. Today's Yucc and Chicharrones was exceptionally good! Ahhh Cinco de Mayo El Salvadorian style, I had a Dox XX while waiting! read more

The food was great. The Popusas are simple and delicious. The food tastes like comfort food for all latin people. The service was great also and friendly staff. Overall good experience. read more

Food is good, but the wait is kind of long. The employees are friendly. I'll be going back, but when I'm not in a hurry.

It's alright if you only order Fajitas. My pupusa had no Loroco, even though I requested it twice. I also had to request salsa twice to go with the chips. My husband's torta was slimy due to runny refried beans overly smothering the bread. Two stars for the grilled chicken & the steak quesadilla. If that's all your going for, this place is ok, but not much variety. read more

Terrible customer service here the food taste plane and had way to much oil left in food ;(

The food was great. The service was horrible. Had to remind the waitress multiple times for our water to the point of walking to the bar and asking for our drinks. We ended up getting our drinks until we were done with our meal. And worse the water we got came with no ice and all cloudy/murky, never had that happen before. The place was not even busy for such bad service. Will never return. read more

Overpriced! Being Salvadorian I'd rather eat homemade authentic food from my moms kitchen. The only thing I ever go here for is the Corn tamales. That's it. They are the best I have ever had. Other than that service is not the best and they get to your table whenever they feel like it. read more

Nice colorful spot Nextdoor to Ross, so after some shopping hop on down to Los Cabos for a cold beer and a papusa. I ordered the chicharron pupusa and thee friojole con queso pupusa. Order arrived about 5 minutes later. Simple presentation...first bite was of the bean and cheese...very flavorful, I didn't care too much for the chicharron, but that could just be that I'm partial to beans. The salsa that is served was a bit disappointing, thin and lacked flavor. Now the cabbage mixture was much better..lots of flavor, crisp and fresh! I'll be back! read more
