This has been my favorite place for Pupusas for years. I recently got a bunch of the the chicharron/cheese, bean/cheese, and jalapeno/cheese + plantains w/ beans and sour cream for my family and I for my sister's birthday. Everything was so good. read more

I must say that when it comes to Pupusas I consider myself an expert. I have ate pupusas since a young age and very often. I came here with my son about 2 weeks ago and I wish I could this this place a 5 star. My review is based on the pupusas mostly as I ordered them to go. The reason I gave this place 3 stars is due to my order not being done on time as they told me and the size of the pupusas compared to the price charged. Also I ordered 5 pupusas and the amount of "salsa" I received was ridiculously small. I called in my order and the lady on the phone told me 25 minutes for them to be ready. It took 35-40 mins for me to get my order and the place had only 2 tables that were taken. They are charging $2.75 per pupusa which is a bit more expensive than other places. The quality is good I must say! And if I am near this place again and feel like eating pupusas I'll stop by. However, if I am planning to have pupusas I'll probably look at another place first. Reason for this is that the pupusas are very small for the price they are charging. Even my 4 year old son who eats a lot of pupusas with me asked me why they were so small. Definitely a good spot to try out some pupusas if you are not as demanding with pupusas as I am! read more

This place is close to us as we are new to the HAYSTACKKKK :) I'm always craving for something cheesy lol so pupusas definitely fall under that category! Looked around on Yelp and saw this place had good ratings so decided to check it out after going to the Farmer's market! There was parking, though limited. A no frillz kind of place. Menus on the table, grab your own table, server comes to take your order, food, devour, check please, DONE. Service: our server was nice! She checked in on us a couple of times, it was pretty quick considering they have to make it fresh. Food: yums!! really enjoyed the bean and cheese pupusas and the fried plantains. Got the combo and I was stuffed! the Horchata was also good! Their large is truly a large! Price was also very fair, we order 2 combos, side of plantains and a large horchata and paid 20 before tips. Definitely going to go on our list of go to's when we can't decide on dinner or lunch! I will be backkkk! =] read more

Pupusas were delicious-- good temperature when served and just amazing taste in general. I didn't like the rice-- it seemed to be a day or two old. It was hard/crunchy so you know it wasn't fresh rice. Frijoles and enchiladas were decent. Loved the Chan drink. I'll most likely return for the Chan and pupusas, nothing else. read more

Great food. Excellent service. Cannot recommend highly enough. The jalapeño & cheese are amazing but the pork & cheese are the best.

Omg if you're in Hayward you NEED to stop here and get some pupusas revueltas ASAP. Thank me later ....

The food is bomb, the service is bomb, would recommend 10/10 I got the polo pupusa and queso they are only 3.50 each which is good price read more

Los Planes De Renderos - Salvadoran Near Me - Hayward, California

WOW, awesome food here. I was told by a coworker that these were the best pupusas in the east bay and I'm very glad that I heeded his recommendation. I opted for a plate of 2 pupusas, rice and a sweet corn tamale. The sweet corn tamale was a touch dry but still really good. The pupusas, however, were amazing. The Loroco and Cheese was crazy good as was the Chicken and Cheese, and I loved their cabbage slaw as well. The rice was a pleasant surprise as well and much better than the rice that my pupusa spot in the South Bay offered. I could see Los Planes becoming a part of a regular rotation.... BTW, this place is really cheap! I had to add on a tamale AND a chia seed lemonade to just barely meet the $10 minimum for my card! read more

My favorite go to place for Popusas when I'm at work! Especially enjoy the plantains! Delicious.

They're offering pick up at the front door. 10% off your total if you pay with cash! I love their pupusas, any and all of them. Their salsa that's commonly put on pupusas is not spicy (a let down but I still ate that mf lol) and their curtido (cabbage topping) is very finely cut (a plus for me, hate when I get a big chunk of cabbage) and has a sweet vinaigrette flavor. If you like tamales I would recommend their chicken tamales. The tamale itself is sweet and soft with big chunks of chicken in it, diced potatoes and some green bell pepper! Very different from a traditional Mexican tamale, obviously because they are Salvadoran, this is just something I'd like to add so people know for comparison. Enjoy read more

This place has the WORST customer service out there..if you actually get a chance to order be prepared to over pay for you're food and wait forever for the wrong order even if you call an hour a head of time..Good luck read more

YAY!!! I found a pupusa place!!! I LOVE pupusas! If I'm ever in the area, I'll be back. I think it's $2.50 for each pupusa with curtido and hot sauce. This place was full of people when I dropped by to get an order of pupusas. Our order took about 20 minutes and we ordered 8 pupusas. I also asked to try the horchata (because I'm obsessed with Mexican horchata), and the lady was honest in telling me that they had the Salvadorean horchata. I love that she was honest and personable, which is what pushed them to my 5-star rating. I've been attempting to make pupusas lately because I'm so obsessed, but I give this place props for putting great flavor into the pork in the pupusas. Even a 1/2 hr later when we got home the pupusas were still super hot. WOW, I'm impressed! :) read more

The pupusas have grown on us. Service is still "meh", but the flavors are good, and the prices are fine. Our favorites: * Plantanos fritos + beans/crema * Pupusa w/ loroco * Pupusa w/ pork (and cheese/cheese+beans) read more

Oh WOW was this food HORRIBLE!! They used to be good. They said they didn't have new owners so I have no clue why it went down hill. First of all, the waitress is over worked. She had to wait on all the tables. She is very nice and friendly but definitely over worked. OK so my friend and I split plates. She ordered carne asada and I ordered pupusas. The carne asada was so thin and over cooked, I might as well ordered leather. It was like beef jerky quality. I sent it back and it came back even worse. The waitress said that the cook said it was not a good quality of meat...THEN WHY SERVE IT??? I think you could see through it!! The homemade corn tortillas were thicker than the steak? Go figure!! They were mushy and way too thick. See photos! Then I ordered pina drink.........you know that was a can of Dole pineapple juice with a mixture of pineapple chucks. See photos! Just go somewhere else.......even Taco Bell for better food! read more

Best pupusas in the eastbay , hands down my favorite spot ever Platanos Fritos con crema is one of my favorite things to grab too

Been wanting to try this place for a while because I pass by it all the time. Had good reviews so we decided to stop by today! It was pretty busy when we got there. We placed our order to go and were told it would be 25-30 minutes... we decided to wait. It actually took about 35 minutes to get everything. I know it was busy but I still feel that's a pretty long time to wait whether it's eating in or dining out. Will definitely call ahead next time. The service we experienced was great. The lady who helped us was really friendly and happy to answer all our questions. She also gave us a to go menu and advised to call ahead of time as she saw I was a little restless after the wait. The food was really good, we enjoyed it all! I also brought some to my grandmother who has never had salvadorian food and she really enjoyed it. The price was decent for what we ordered. We got 3 of the (2) pupusa meals, a taco & empanadas for $23. Since we were ordering to-go we didn't get any drinks. I noticed that they didn't have fountain drinks but they do have canned & bottled sodas as well as ethnic drinks such as horchata & atole. Not sure if this is a standard in Hayward but they used the green compostable to-go containers and not styrofoam. Loved that. Was a little unhappy we didn't get napkins or plasticware with our to-go order though. I would definitely come back, the food is really good. Due to how long they take I will most likely only order to go & call ahead next time to reduce our wait time. read more

Love the pupusas combo plate! Very flavorful! Their prices are very reasonable for a filling meal. Also, the ladies here are always nice! One of my favorite go to place! read more

I went to this place last night. I was craving Salvadorian dessert and of course pupusas. I ordered pupusas, nuegados and empanadas de leche. Their pupusas were bland and somehow hard. Their nuegados smelled like its been in the fridge for so long and just deep fried again so, it was very hard to eat. The empanadas de leche tasted like the plantains were going bad when they made it. I don't think they use fresh produce for their food. No wonder they don't have a-lot of costumers. 3 stars because, the service was nice, the place seems clean and they warned you about the wait time. read more

Horchata is really good here, Reminds me of home. I ordered the plant wines with beans and it's a must . With that o got a bean and cheese pupussa, chicken, and zucchini. The zucchini was really good!! My boyfriend got their steak burrito and it was okay. read more

My favorite Pupusas!! I ended up moving to a little far from the restaurant, BUT that doesn't stop me from stoping by and ordering take out when the craving strikes! You can really taste the love in their food. You can always see the ladies making the food in the back, which adds to the homemade authentic feel. Very delicious food at great prices. read more

So delicious cant believe I'm just trying this place hands down best pupusas I've ever tried and that's saying alot I promise you!. Definitely will be back read more

I went there to order I waited outside no one told me to come in to order at the door the lady at the door was very rude to me when I asked her I wanted to make a order she started to say well you need to wait 45 mins and that I needed to call before when she had took a order before me and I know they where not going to wait 45 mins her attitude was very rude and she starts to tell me we sell hundreds of pupusas Friday Saturday and Sunday it was like she didn't even want my service and believe me I never go there again!!! Bad Service they need to replace her with a more welcoming person if you don't want to lose customers I'll stick with the one on Mission Blvd they know how to treat their Customers!!! read more

I have been here many times over 15 yrs or so years it's been around. Take out and dine in. Not what it used to be and this last take out order was extremely disappointing. Not to mention we had to wait an hour to pick which we were ok with. But to get them with hardly any filling was extremely disappointing. Add insult to injury for 5 pupusas they barely gave enough salad. I won't be ordering from them again. We did find a new place on E14th that was soooo delicious. Unfortunately last night we went local, next time we will make the longer drive to La Placita. Unfortunate because this place was food from what I remember although service wasn't the best when dining it. read more

True to being a small hole in the wall place, this place is a little hard to notice. I actually thought they were closed the first time I was walked by it. Actually, I didn't even recognize that it was a restaurant! But I had been killing time at the library waiting for my tires to get replaced (so no having to worry about parking, which seemed kinda minimal) so I found this place on Yelp. I've never tried pupasas before, and everyone seemed to be mentioning them, so I figured I'd give them a try. The restaurant was pretty empty and slow (I went in at that awkward time of 2 pm since I forgot about lunch earlier) and the lady waiting the tables was nice and friendly. The inside though... decorations are rather sparse, and the music was really loud (though being alone, this wasn't much of a problem). The pupasas were really good! I got two - the chicharron/cheese/bean one, which was amazing, and the cheese/loroco (a type of cilantro-like veggie?) pupasa (which was kind of just alright). I also got the horchata (which was pretty good) and the rice and bean combo (which I would skip next time since the beams were alright but the rice was just kinda plain, though I also got an amazing little salad made of pickled cabbage). I was really surprised at how much two of those filled me up! Next time I'd definitely get the pork one again and maybe try another one. :) It's also worth mentioning I think, that if you want to use a card, you need to spend at least $10. The price wasn't that bad either, though more than I wanted to spend; a combo meal with two pupasas and a drink coming in at just shy of $9. considering that the two pupasas were $4, $5 for beans, rice, and a drink seem a bit much. read more

I was introduced to this place by a friend back in college days almost 10 years ago. Must go to for pupusas. It is filling. I prefer the pork and cheese. We recently ordered pupusas to go and that thing stayed hot for a while. Oh yea horchata is a must her and also their platanos and beans with cream. Yummy in my tummy. I think I'm coming by this place very soon. Big place but downside is place can be cleaner. Bathroom, skip it if you can. If you can't, hold your breath. read more

hubs and I ordered pupusas on the phone for pick up. we were told that it will be about 30 mins for 16 pupusas and sides. Not too bad. we got there a bit early so we ordered drinks while waiting. the ladies were very nice and helpful. pupusas: were pretty good. I've had better but this place is not too bad. I think their sauce and slaw could be a bit better tho. the dining area is large. and spacious. clean. small parking area on the side. oh yeah, they forgot to give us the rice and beans we ordered. read more

Best pupusas in town. I always get the chicken and cheese pupusas, rice, beans and plantains. I also get the chan. I have been coming here for over 20 years and they do not disappoint. On rare occasions the plantains are too ripe, but besides that the food is great. There isn't a better place! read more

This place was amazing. Top notch food. Along with the vibes. Music in the background (good taste in music). Will be coming back again. Thank you for the food read more

This spot is a go to for pupusas. It's super close to home and always delicious. The restaurant has been newly renovated on the right hand side of the restaurant only with a bar and fancy flooring. The left side is still carpeted and the old blue booths are still here. Something that didn't change with renovations was the prices. Everything is so inexpensive! The waitress tonight was newer and she's never been our waitress before. She was very nice and helpful. We all ordered the pupusa, rice, and bean combos. As is true with any pupusa place, there's always a wait for the food to come out. The chicharron y queso pupusa is the JAM. I have no complaints. The beans are typical Salvadorian blended beans and light yellow fluffy rice. Served with curtido and tomato sauce on the side. I give this place 4 stars easy. Parking is limited and it's a $10 minimum to use card. read more

Just went here tonight w/ my cousin and my brother. I found this spot via restaurant.com. LPDR is sort of a hole in the wall type of place, but it was a pleasant surprise. We had burritos, tamales, pupusas, enchiladas, and a brewsky. Everything was good! If you are in Hayward, this place is definitely worth a try. The cashier was pretty cute too. :) read more

Terrible customer service. Oddly, they charge $2 for extra cabbage and $1 for extra salsa in the winter?? I get it... it's a business. But to charge for RAW cabbage?? Picture on left. Pupusas are good but not worth it. read more

first time trying this place out, you will easily pass by it if your not looking but they have their own parking lot. as far as the food it was delicious i had the pupusas and the plantains for dessert i will def go back. read more

I used to come here a lot in 2012 and I always really enjoyed their food. Last year I stoped by and the service was really slow and the pupusas were kinda cold. But being that this is my go to pupusa place and I was in the area last weekend after a bachelorett (little hung over) and my girlfriend and I decided to stop on our way home. We got some pupusas my favorite are the queso con loroco and queso con chicharon. This time around they were so fresh we couldn't even eat them right away! And we were served fairly quickly! So what ever they did this time around really is working for them I hope they keep it up. PS. They even had the basket ball game on which is a plus! read more

This place is close to my house so I tried it out and it didn't disappoint. I feel like the prices are the cheapest compared to other Salvadorean restaurants. Carne asada burritos are pretty good. It seems like they add alpastor seasoning to the carne asada. If I don't feel like driving all the way to Berkeley for popusas I'll definitely come to this place. read more

Felt like a home cooked meal! Everything was authentic, well priced, and full of flavor. The pupusas were a perfect mix of masa and filling. The beans were smooth and yummy! Curtido was fresh. Plantains were so yummy and perfectly cooked. I can't say enough good things about this place. You won't be disappointed. read more

I came in for dinner tonight with my family and as usual it was really delicious. I'm not a fan of how long it takes to make a Pupusa but when the food comes out it is worth it. I've had the opportunity to try almost every pupusa they make and I can say they're all delicious. We even venture out and order their Desserts and Drinks which are really good and they have a good variety of beers that are from El Salvador. The staff here is pretty friendly and accommodating, and the prices are very reasonable. You can get one pupusas and rice and beans for under $5 which I think is a great deal. I will definitely be back and I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who's looking for authentic Salvadorian food. Happy eating! read more

This restaurant is always reliable and consistent with their food. They are crazy inexpensive for their offerings. The staff are polite and give you a realistic expectation on the time to when your order will be available. Today's wait was especially long, but that was fine, I had other things to do anyhow. When I returned my food was hot and ready for me. Great food, good prices and terrific staff! read more
