This is our go to Spot for Pupusas. They are done very well and have a good deal on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The Curtido is also very well done. Order ahead because it will obviously take a while to be prepped. The staff has always been courteous and helpful. Have never eaten inside so can't speak on behalf of the ambiance or location. But definitely recommend this restaurant. Mi Carbonero es el restaurante preferido de nosotros. Las pupusas y el curtido están bien echos. Tienen especiales los Martes i Jueves. Orden antes porque es obvio que se van a tardar en preparar la comida. read more

Disgusting do not go here I ordered 9 pupusas from here when the cashier brought out my food he dropped the salsa and then picked the up and put them next to my order I thought surely he will give me another one as those hit the floor however he packed my stuff and put them in my bag when I asked him if he could give me new salsa because he dropped it on the floor he looked at me flabbergasted and offended he took the same salsas to the back and brought me the same ones as if he exchanged them disgusting no customer service why would I eat shitnoff your floor? If they do that in your face imagine what they do when no one is looking they had dirty water and rags on the table where they put your food as well I won't be back ever I hope yall learn from my experience disgusting Para Los que hablan español vine aquí por 9 pupusas el señor que me atendió se le calleron las salsas rojas y las colocó en la mesa alado de mi orden y cuando las empaco puso la salsas rojas que se le calleron al piso dentro de mi bolsa y cuando le pedí salsa nueva porque se le calló al piso a él no a mi se ofendió y enojó agarró la salsas rojas se fue para atrás y me trajo las mismas salsas de nuevo es un asco no volveré a ir aquí si eso hacen en cara del cliente imagínese lo que hacen cuando nadie está viendo allí a su discreción read more

I mainly come here for take out and for the delicious pupusas! There is indoor dining available and parking located in the back parking lot. The cheese pupusas are very tasty, but my favorite are the revueltas that have pork, bean, and cheese. They also come with curtido and salsa on the side. On Tuesdays and Thursdays the revuelta pupusas are on special for $1.75 each. The staff is very friendly! read more

Good food, i got pupusas and a random dessert to go. cool music, and the lady up front was very helpful with a nice smile.

They make very good pupusas! I tried one revuelta, one of queso con loroco. It is easy to call and place your order ahead of time.

This place is a ripoff!! Paid 50$ for 4 pupusas 5 pieces of plantains and 2 drinks! Came here because of all the good yelp reviews but a huge let down. The food wasn't really all that either, customer service was sad. I'm not even from the valley and I can name about 20 locations in LA with better pupusas at a way cheaper price read more

My partner & I got a total of 7 Pupusas. 3 of them were bean & cheese & were amazing! the curtido/pickled veggies for the pupusas were flavorful & the salsa/sauce for it was also a great pair. Tasted fresh & hot, perfect blend of cheese & beans. I would definitely order these again. The Pupusas Revueltos were also tasty especially with the pork. Soft, cheesy, & full of warmth. The condiments for it as well matched perfectly with this & didn't take too long to get out food. We walked in about 10:30PM & the lady asked us if we were here for pickup or takeout & in about 5 minutes she gave us our food (as she was helping others as well) will come back here! They are $3.75 each OR the Revueltos are $1.50 tuesdays & thursdays. Nice music as well & a nice little restaurant to eat at with good music. read more

Ordered a full baked turkey for thanksgiving and it was very delicious. Plenty of Salsa as well.

My wife introduced me to this small restaurant. Since that we've been there quite a few times. I must say I haven't been disappointed at all. It does take a bit to get your food due to it getting cooked freshly. We usually order in advance so by the time we get there it will be ready. Definitely a place to try for saldadorean food. read more

Never again ... No solo cambiaron los precios, sino también la cocinera, pedí huevos termino medio estrellados y no se como le llamarán a lo que recibí mis plátanos estaban duros y el chorizo quemado ni se diga. Procuraré no volver read more

The food is so good here. Service is great, very professional. Ambiance is ok, very clean.

Worst Salvadoran food in the valley i wish i would have gone with my gut feeling and went to van nuys for some bomb Salvadoran food instead! I waited for 40 mins for pan con pollo and a bean and cheese pupusa! The lady in the front was rude and kept looking at me with hate as if it was competition! Please save yourself from disappointment! read more

My boyfriend and I got food poisoning here the last time we ate from this place! I am currently 9 months pregnant and had to go to the hospital the next day. We ate here before a few times and had no issues but the last we ate here (a week ago) we ordered around 9pm-ish and this was the last meal we ate before we got sick. I am thinking the dough was not good or they didn't change the oil out . We both had diarrhea and stomach cramps. My boyfriend also had severe vomiting. The customer service is good here and the ambience is alright but that day that we got sick was not a good day. We will not be returning back. read more

These are the best tasting pupusas in the Valley. My family has been coming here for years and we have never been disappointed in the food or the service. read more

Service is always so bad. I want to give them a review because the food is good but they just don't know how to prioritize. 45 min later after a phone order is placed and food is not ready. People ordering food inside getting food before my take out order. read more

I walked in as soon as I saw the special on the window. Monday $1 pupusas revueltas TO GO! Hell yeah! I wanted to eat there but the girl at the front said they would not do the special. So you know damn well I took my fat self to the car and ate one there steaming up the windows so good you might have thought something naughty was happening in there :p I took some home to share with my family. Everyone liked it. :) read more

Ordered a shrimp cocktail which was not bad. A good 3/5. However, when I asked the server about another cocktail (campechana) and what it had, he was unfortunately not able to provide details. He later came and apologized for not knowing but stated that the reason being is that it is always changing and didn't want to lie to us and give us false expectations. So kudos to the server for that. He was also very nice and polite. The overall experience was great, but what left a sour taste in my mouth was that the wait time was LONG! We got there around 5:30pm and didn't leave until about 7:30pm when the check wasn't coming and my to go order was also stalling. From what I noticed, is that they were probably prioritizing to-go orders as at one point a rush of pick up clients came in but my one single pupusa was taking way too long to be delivered. Come and find out it was at the register the whole time. It was not being delivered as the to-go orders were being completed. Will I go back again, yes, but for the pupusas because the one I ordered was amazing! Maybe it was an off day, so it's only fair to give them another shot! read more

Tomo como 25 mnts para preguntar que queríamos , luego media para tomar la orden nunca tomo tiempo para preguntar si ocupada algo más , luego pregunte si tenia pan me dio el pan sobre el counter como que fuera homeless sin ningún servicio al cliente en total el servicio es pésimo pedimos sopa de pata solo era hueso read more

I have came here a few times ... a bit pricier than most places but they carry a variety of food ! Their mojarra is great, the sopes are also delicious, even their pupusas are amazing! they carry a bit of everything even burgers . It's a larger portion of food than I'm used to but the quality is always amazing! I would definitely recommend you drop by & try it out! Will not be disappointed Forsure. read more

La señora (Roxanna) que toma las llamadas no tiene respeto. Me dejo 13 minutes en espera mientras se enteraba del chisme. Cuando le pregunte que si me hiba tomar la orden o hiba seguir en el chisme? Y muy descaradamente si rie y dijo que hiba seguir en su chisme. Que falta de educacio. Mal servicio. Y trate de hablar con un manager pero no tienen a nadie. MUY MAL SERVICIO! read more

Paselitos and Pupusas Yum! Everything was delicious. The waitress was very nice and attentive. The food was great I felt like I was having food at someone's house. My hubby got a breakfast and let me tell you our craving was satisfied. I will definitely be back!! Pupusas Revueltas are 1.50 on Tuesdays and Thursday. read more

No me parese bien el caldo de gallina es recanlentado. La Carne es bieja.y dan poco.no vale.la pena

The service is bad. The food is bad. And dine and take out takes over 1 hr for food to be ready. I called in for 4 pupusas. When I went in to pick up, they only had 1 for me. I couldn't wait another hour for the other 3. There was no one sitting in and eating when I arrived. This place is a dump. read more

Call ahead place your order if you plan on coming , for starters. All the one star reviews could have been alleviated by doing so. Is the wait longer than most people are expecting? Yes, that's because that are made to order. What does that mean ? They're fresher than most places that are just reheated and take no time at all... no brainer- my thoughts? WORTH THE WAIT! Been coming here for years. :) read more

Si quieren esperar más de una hora por su comida, les recomiendo este lugar. Mal servicio, customer service horrible!!!! Después de una hora de espera.... Las pupusas tienen más queso que nada, la yuca con chicharrón todo quemado.. deberían de poner mas atención los managers, si es qué hay...... que desgracia que sean salvadoreños y no saber preparar bien la comida. 40 dólares tirados a la basura. read more

Food is great but service is not. If you're ordering takeout, then yes I recommend. However, if you are dining in, be ready for a long wait, and subpar service. read more

Mi Carbonero - two flatbreads cooking on a grill - Salvadoran Near Me - Mission Hills, California

The food is good, not gonna lie. But waiting for over an hour and 10 minutes for 5 soups and 3 pupusas!? Ridiculous. Soups are done ahead of time so what's the hold up!? The ladies are nice, never had an issue with them but definitely the wait times are beyond unacceptable. Not coming back! read more

Food is really good tastes very home made the only downside is that they are short staffed. I asked if they tried hiring people but they said no one lasts because it's a very busy restaurant and they quit or don't show up again. I understand because I get the same thing from many business owners or companies that say that no one wants to work anymore. Nonetheless, the food is really good it took an hour to wait for the food but when it was out I had no complains everything was delicious. If you have the patience to wait and take the food to go do so but if not order in advance because they are short staffed. read more

Clearly someone needs to let this business know about yelp and google reviews. They need help! All the giant signs in the window do not work if the service sucks! I have looked at other reviews and they are dead on...No service and the wait is sooooooooooooooooooooooo long. We came into the restaurant at about 4:00pm and it was empty! No ONE! We ordered at the counter as there was only one staff person in the room and she was standing at the cash register. She did not engage us or tell us anything about how the restaurant works. We looked confusingly at the menu and asked questions as we ordered. With our in-house order, I asked for two glasses of water with ice but we were served 2 bottles of water which we were charged (we do not like wasting plastic with bottled water). We ordered tacos al a carte, Bistec, and a Pupusa. We asked for a couple of substitutions...the tacos...I only wanted one but it is mandatory to order two, they offer beef and chicken. I asked if I could have one of each...Nope! Not ALLOWED. Again, NO SUBSTITUTIONS! That sucks! The sign for the Pupusas show 3 on a plate but the actual order is for one. Each pupusa is $3.75 (which is worth the price but the picture advertising in the restaurant is misleading) but they do have a nice variety of choices for the Pupusa's. I ordered the cheese and jalapeno. It took 35 minutes for the food to arrive...with no one in the restaurant! My husband was moments away from walking out (another note to the restaurant...you might want to collect the bill up front as I am sure others will walk out without paying, which we could have). No chips and salsa on the table, not anything to keep you happy before your long awaited food arrives, the bottled water came out first but after that, no service of any kind! The food however is very good! It's so sad because this could be a slamming restaurant. I can only assume that the take-out orders are keeping them afloat but why pay for the Brick & Mortor if you are not going to service your in-house customers? The Pupusa was excellent, the bistec had a delicious flavor (the beef was a little chewy but forgivable), the tacos were good and all the tortillas were yummy. It's time to start reading your reviews! read more

I come here for the Tuesday/Thursday $1.50 pupusas special. The pupusas are great but rather small. If you are going to eat here be ready to wait for your food about 25 minutes since they are really backed up with to go orders on these days. Ordering take out is the way to go. Their micheladas are amazing but overpriced for what they are. read more

Trash, I really try and support local business but the service is unacceptable and the food is below average. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS S**T BOX. Not to mention there is no parking. I would rather go hungry then deal with these rude ladies ever again. I can not understand how this place actually has three stars it must be from people who have never had good Salvadorian food. This place must be a front for some other type of business. Because no way they make money off this garbage food. read more

Excellent place for pupusas! These are the best pupusas I have tasted in the Valley so far. Their service is warm and friendly. Yes, it is not an elegant or impressive restaurant, zbut the food speaks for itself. You gotta try them at least once. Maybe you'll get hooked like my family and I did. read more

This is just the place to order to go. If you're thinking about eating in the restaurant I don't recommend it ,you are not gonna have a good experience. read more

If you're going to order the seafood soup make sure to bring your own shell crackers. Also, don't believe them when they say 7 kinds there were only crabs, 2 mussel shells & fish shreds. The Pan con pollo comes with day old bread so maybe bring your own bread? It's good to bring a movie too, cause it takes them 1 hour to bring your food out. The yelp reviews are true about the service. read more

Had such a terrible experience here with Roxanne and Eduardo terrible customer service and communication skills.
