I have been coming here for almost 10 years now, since my mum found the place. She's Guatemalan and picky about her down home comforts. This place ticked all the boxes for her. The food is fresh and made to order, so it does take a moment. But what comes out of that kitchen is a masterpiece! The service has always been great. Definitely a thumbs up from us! Pro-tip: If you're in a hurry, call in your order for pickup. Every so often, you'll be told they don't take phone orders. Apparently, that's the owner's daughter-in-law trying to sabotage the place. Keep calling until someone takes your order. It's worth it! read more

Been coming here for years and if anyone ever is craving some pupusas you can definitely come here! Tucked in cute little place with lots of parking! read more

Morazan Restaurante - Latin American Near Me - Van Nuys, California

Ordene una sopa de gallina para llevar y mi sorpresa fue ver la gallina súper dura, y ver por las fotos. No apeteció ni probarla de lo mal que se miraba que no pude ni probarla. No es el dinero es la calidad de comida que venden. Qué pena!!!! Si se pudiera dar ni una estrella estaría genial.!!! read more

See all

Carísima la comida en este lugar te cobran un ojo de la cara pero no importaría si la comida estuviera buena pero ahora ni las Pupusas hacen buena la hacen bien grandes pero de pura masa sin sabor horribles yo mandé a comprar y no me las puede comer de veras las tuve que hacer casi tostadas para que la masa se cocinara bien estaban hasta crudas Discúlpeme pero han bajado de categoría read more

I've been coming to this specific location for over 5 years (even after moving farther away, i tend to venture back here). The food is amazing, my go-to are pupusas de ayote, frojole con queso, and loroco. Absolutely amazing. And as a treat I always get an order of empanadas de leche, which is a hit or miss when you ask them to please add the sugar on top (in my household sugar on top was standard so i might be biased lol) The only reason this gets a 4/5 stars is because of the price. I understand inflation, but they sure do raise them. The restaurant itself is small and intimate, super cute. I also recommend the horchata ! (P.S it'll be salvadorian horchata, so prepare yourself for the grains) read more

Pura masa las pupusas. Por lo que pagamos hoy en día no jodan. Espero q mejoren. Tengo años de ir a comer pero me e fijado a bajado la calidad. Hoy ya se ir otro lugar. No regreso y lo siento. La cagaron. También la sopa de gallina no la pidan. read more

Morazan Restaurante - Latin American Near Me - Van Nuys, California

The food here used to be great. now it's all new cooks & cashiers. The service is horrible they always seem so bored to be there and get bugged when a customer walks in. The food does not taste good, the cheese pupusas is all hard the cheese isn't even the one you're suppose to use for pupusas. the revueltas have very little meat inside it's just a plain tortilla. The sauce is extremely spicy which i've never had a spicy sauce for pupusas. they need to learn to package better all the water for the curtido fell. and all our pupusas got soggy by the time we got home, keep in mind not everyone likes their pupusas soggy. If you want some tasty pupusas go to el carrousel. read more

Morazan Restaurante - a sandwich wrapped in plastic - Latin American Near Me - Van Nuys, California

I love coming here. These are the best pupusa Ive had over 10 years. The customer service wasn't good at first, but I don't know management change and customer service is decent. The pupusa's are always fresh and warm. read more

Cashier has zero personality. I came in and ordered to go she was so standoffish, it almost seemed like I was bothering her by coming in and ordering food. Place was empty with just one customer on a Sunday. Pupusas were just okay. read more

I can't give no more then 0" this place are good food but customer service is terrible I can't believe you have to ask for Stupid box for the pupusas really? They are not professional just people work there no class sorry but this is the last time I come here to this poor place! read more

This is a traditional Salvadorian restaurant with all the specialty plates . Location is not the best but food and service was worth it ! I recommend! read more

Morazan Restaurante - Platanos Fritos con queso y crema(Salvi sour cream) And a pupusa revuelta - Latin American Near Me - Van Nuys, California

Went for lunch, service was reasonable, by no means as slow as other reviewers have seen... but not that cheery or welcoming either. If you are coming to Morazan, you're not coming for the service or decor. You're coming for the pupusas. I was referred to Morazan by an El Salvadoran nurse who works nearby. She told me that Morazan has her favorite pupusas in Los Angeles. She emphasized that I should try the Loroco pupusa which is made from flour derived from a plant indigenous to El Salvador. FGI. I tried one Loroco pupusa filled with cheese and one Rebueleta/Revueleta pupusu filled with cheese, beans, and chicharron. Don't expect to have fried pork rind in the Rebueleta, chicharron in this case refers to ground pork meat... not skin. The two pupusas more than delivered against my modest expectations, but mostly because I felt "in the know" about ordering the Loroco which uses special flour imported from El Salvador. There are several Morazan restaurants in the valley and my server said they are all owned by the same family. One of them has a four star review on Yelp. read more

Morazan Restaurante - Latin American Near Me - Van Nuys, California

Friendly restaurant that served a wide variety of Salvadorean food, including seafood, soups, breakfast, steak, sandwiches, a small Mexican menu, and much more. They also have horchata and lots of different juices. I usually get horchata or zanahoria (carrot) juice. The pupusas are made fresh to order from scratch, and you can see the people shaping the dough in the back. You get these piping hot, and of course, it always comes with curtido (pickled cabbage) and some mild red hot sauce, which you can pile on top. The pupusas are only $2.25-$2.50, depending on what you get. I usually get the queso con loroco or queso con frijoles, but it's pretty much all good. Since they make things from scratch, you probably should not be in a hurry if you come here. It's not fast food, but made fresh to order. Definitely recommended! read more

I LOVE Morazan! They are my go to for pupusas and comida Salvadoreña! Always feels like home when I got there! Been going there since I was a kid. Have a Cola Champagne/ horchata for me!!! read more

I tried to order an soup (sopa de gallina) combo and add just another soup they said they couldn't sell me an order of just soup, what kind of restaurant doesn't want to sell a side order I don't think this business need my $$ or any of my family's. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant to any. read more

This place has amazing service and amazing food!!! There workers are very friendly and the food is fresh service is fast! I absolutely love it I drive all the way from Los Angeles here that's how good it is. So worth it! Best Salvadorian food ever! Go check out ASAP. Carlos the server super nice and cares about customers! read more

had been coming here for years, it had been really good. Food is great. Today, however..... Service was ridiculous. Waited an hour and twenty minutes, all because people "ordered over the phone". One could really tell all these people that kept coming after me, were the waitresses friends and thats why they were being treated different. Doubt I'll ever come back. I didn't even eat my food because i was upset. ***10min to pay.... its not even funny read more

The food is always on point! The pupusas are always ooey gooey cheesy. You cut it with a knife and the cheese just oozes out and the Salvi horchata is so refreshing. This restraunt is probably one of the best Salvi restraunts in the SFV. However, parking sucks. read more

Been coming here for years but foods not good anymore and they take way to long... I ordered a chicken soup today and it took 45 minutes for them to bring it to me that's ridiculous... rices was nasty chicken was really dry... all bad won't be coming back... read more

They take entirely too long with their orders and unless you speak Spanish you won't get far here. I walked in today and waited 35 minutes for Salvadorean chorizo and eggs! I purposely didn't order pupusas because they take longer to cook and I was on my lunch hour. The waitress was not apologetic or even understanding of why I left without my food. Won't go here again, apparently they are so successful they don't need clientele. read more

This place is always good. The ladies have good attitudes and they remind you or one of your tias. The pupusas are BOMB AF!

I'm the type that tries many food restaurants and for Salvadorean or just freshly made food , I keep coming back here ! It's always been soo good but the breakfast and the traditional pupusas just can't compare to any other place. Their food is Soo tasty good.. also, the people that work are all just AMZing ! They care for their small business and treat people nice ! So many other places I've been the waiters/tress are sooo rude almost 90% of the time! read more

They take way to long to take your order the employees are super rude. We are a paying customer you would think they would want to be nice. They are to expensive as well. I went with my husband for breakfast their were probably like 3 other ppl inside we ordered why did it take the waitress 20min to come to our table n 30 for food. I only stayed because i was pregnant at the time and i was craving a salvadorian breakfast. So not worth it. I would recommend La Piedad restaurant which is across the st. read more

A small Salvadorean spot located on the corner of van owen and haskell in a crowded shopping plaza. I would have gave this place a 1, BUT the drinks are delish! i only ordered the papusas combo, so i cant speak on ALL the food there. this place was ok, although i can get better pupusas @ Vallarta supermarket. But i do really love the drinks they serve here. "ensalada" it like water but with chopped up fruit...pineapple and apples. (very sweet and fresh) "chan" or something like that. Its some kind of fruit pulp mixed with jamaica (good combo of sweet and sour and the texture of the fruit is strange but in a good way) now the service is slooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo so dont try to come here if your crunched for time....... theres probably a lot better places than this but this is the only ive tried so far. I will return for the drinks...to go! read more

Food is bomb, but I hate that they lag to cool your food even though it's freshly made. When there's a full house you'll wait over 1 1/2 just for your food to be at your table and when it's slow it's appx 30-45 min. But food is bomb, and I hate that there's only one waitress, I'll still continue coming here. In case you want to come, over your food over the phone so it can be ready once your here. read more

Came here for lunch and was very disappointed. the place is clean the waitress was nice and pretty. They toke soo long to get our food , the food had no taste and was very oilily. the total price was to high for what we ate. read more

Morazan Restaurante - The only thing that was ok was the plaintaine - Latin American Near Me - Van Nuys, California

Great Pupusas. Ladies are always nice. Order out is always better. Wait for food if dining in may take a bit longer.

Las pupusas de arroz son las mejores que yo he comido! The rice pupusas are by far the best I have ever tried! read more

my mexican friend, esther, turned me onto this salvadorean restaurant. it's nothing special. the women running the show when we went weren't too nice but whatevs. the one thing i did like, was the 'serve yourself' curtido. you know i took complete advantage of that. read more

Small little spot. Hadn't had Salpicon in awhile. Loved it and left wanting more. Everyone was really friendly.

Updating my review from 6 months ago and I still have all the same compliments to give. Great authentic Salvadorena food, pleasant waitresses and a nice space to eat. I came in to pick up some breakfast for my mom and myself this morning. I called in, placed the order and they said it'd be ready in 20 mins. I left my house 20 mins later (since I'm so close) and no problems when I arrived. Parking was plenty, was attended to right away and I walked out with my order in like 5 mins. I arrived as they were putting the order in to-go boxes. Eating the food I ordered, I'm reminded why we come here and why we will continue to keep eating at El Morazan restaurants. Great work! read more

Really good authentic pupusas every time!! Best pupusas and plátanos fritos. I would come every day if I could.

I been coming here since I was a young girl. The restaurant is family owned so everyone that works there are related. They been around for years. The food taste the same no matter the time, day or year you go. It is good food. I always ordered the pupusas. The revueltas ones to be specific. They are a decent size and when they are .99 cents they are a bit smaller. The only thing they need to fix is to add more cheese cause they seemed to come out a bit dry sometimes.The sopa de pata is really good too. I am never going back tho since I had a bad experience with the ladies there. One day my mother was sick and ask me to go pick up a chicken soup for her here. I told her to order it by phone and ill go pick it up. So she did that. When I got there this dark skinny lady which was the only waitress there, while they had three older ladies in the back cooking was the only one helping out. She ask me for my name gave it to her and told me that it was going to take more time for the order to come out. While waiting I noticed that she was putting the soup cup in a bag with another side plate to go. When she came out she told me my order was ready so I told her that we only order a soup and that the side plate did not belong to me. Then she argued to me that my mom in the phone clearly order a soup and a chicken combination plate. I called my mom to confirm and she said the lady on the phone was not understanding what she was ordering and she clearly only order the soup. So the waitress thought she was slick and when she ranged me up in the cashier she was charging $12, like really $12 for a soup so i told her why so much and she said "cause you had us cooked the chicken plate i have to charge you" so i told her i didnt want it. So this WITCH went back to tell the other three ladies in the back that i had ordered it and now didnt want it. So those WITCHES told her that she "couldnt" sell me only the soup that i if i wanted it i had to buy the chicken plate combination too. BAD SERVICE EVER! i am never going back to this MORAZAN!!!!! read more

This place is overpriced and the staff is very rude. I called in a order and the women kept trying to hang up on me before I completed my order. I had to stop her three times from interrupting me. And it is far from the best Salvadoran food in town. The pupusas were hard on the edges like they were prefrozen and then cooked. read more

The worst salvadorean place I ever been, nasty food and the waitress are really dirty

Great food to bad the service is very slow. Still the pupusas are good specially when they have their $0.99 days.

I go here almost all the time... food is always fresh and warm.. sopa de gallina is bomb and pupusas are great too... go and have some great salvadorian food!! read more

Never fails to grab lunch here. Mucho Sabroso Comida on the go quickly is always nice :)

I love their pupusas! There's a bit wait but it's worth the wait! Only thing I don't like is when I'm not with friends that speak Spanish I can't communicate well with the servers cause they don't speak English all that well, nonetheless I come when I'm with friends that can translate! Good food! read more

Fresh made food takes time but well worth the wait. This is a family run small restaurant so if you're expecting a mass produced quick lunch don't come here. But if you're expecting a delicious homemade meal this would be your spot. Yes it's true the waitresses don't speak perfect English but communication is not a problem. read more
