Hands down some of the better pupusas I've had. I had 3 pupusas revueltas (consisting of cheese, beans, and meat). I ate at the restaurant so I was also brought a big ol' container with curtido (Salvadoran slaw) and a bottle of red sauce. Service was quick, food was delicious, diet was broken. Worth a visit if you're in the area! read more

Very fresh pupusas. As a gluten free person this place is a godsend. It's so affordable. I got a 2 pupusa plate w creama and beans, side of plantains, and 2 chicken tamales for $31! They recently renovated for its very clean and spacious. Awesome service, she helped me pick combos plates and get more for my buck. read more

Authentic Salvadoran restaurant! The pupusas are amazing. The vibe was casual and homey nothing fancy, but that's part of the charm. Service was friendly, and the prices were super reasonable for how filling everything was. read more

Got a revuelta and chicharron con queso. They were both sooooooooo good. I love when you can eat pupusas without anything in them because they are just that good. But I loved that the Curtido and salsa had a simple classic flavor that complimented the pupusas. This is now my go to spot and you can't beat the price. read more

We came from high country Arizona Great stop good food and service recommend for a family stop don't let negative people on yelp discourage you we had a pleasant experience and there was a family of 8 eating here plus our family read more

Was craving pupusas and luckily found this restaurant on Yelp. The pupusas tasted very high quality, lovingly made, and extremely affordable. The restaurant itself had a good amount of people dining in on a Wednesday night but the ladies running the counter and the kitchen were on top of things so everything was efficient and easy. The restaurant is clean, and the food is excellent. read more

Don't ever get the banana liquado it's flavorless. The pupusas are pretty mid the curtido and salsa just don't hit. Try another place

this is definitely one of my spots I show visiting friends in LA! The food is sooo good! The staff is super friendly and the interior of the restaurant is nice! read more

The food was good. I did go in person and the service was just ok. I paced a order on the phone but still waited about 20 mins.

We were looking for wonderful pupusas and we found them at this little spot! Parking was challenging, and they took a while to make the pupusas, but it was definitely worth it! read more

Really great food, cozy ambiance and the waitresses are kind and attentive. Definitely recommend! read more

I really liked my breakfast! It was my first time visiting. The place was clean, modern and decorated with some fun art. I ordered a breakfast burrito with added chorizo. I was told the burrito came with rice and crema. I normally ask my burritos be without rice, but I decided to keep it in. I wanted to see what it was like, as god intended, lol. I really, really enjoyed it. The flour tortilla seemed fresh. The chorizo was delicious. The rice mixed with the crema was a lovely and satisfying texture and flavor. They also added a green salsa on the side and it added even more deliciousness to every bite. I also ordered a coffee and was okayyyyy. read more

Adorable and friendly spot with super tasty pupusas which were order to go- can't wait to try the rest of the menu Also, there clearly been a big renovation since last restaurant photos posted on here- and they have a second wheelchair accessible entrance read more

I gave three stars not because of the food but the service. I ordered the pupusas revueltas and they are the best I ever had in Los Angeles! I stoped eating pupusas in LA because they all suck. And I been around for awhile! But the pupusas at this place are the real deal. But the service sucks! The two lasdies there made me and my wife feel like an unwelcome uncle...they ignored us for awhile being the only two people there. I can say more about the service for is not worth it. We are a not hard to please people. We're good tippers and easy to please. But bad service is hard to give it a pass. read more

The place was clean and spacious. The service was good and they are attentive with us. The food in my opinion was great. The pupusas and the pastelitos de pollo were not greasy but soft and tasty. I would recommend this place read more

A cheery clean spot to get some pupusas. Doesn't hold a candle to Delia's Tamales at the Atwater Farmer's market, but fine. Their cheesy jalapeno one was quite nice. I also got the tamales. Loved the sweet corn elote. The meat one was alright. Nothing imaginative but very run of the mill, meets the standard of traditional taste in this community. No innovation, nothing vegetarian or no stretch in spicing and execution. read more

Pupusas are a bit pricey but well worth the price. They have "special days" too so probably worth going those days. Ok so for anyone who likes Mochi (Asian dessert) and would like that consistency on your pupusa. Come here and get their pupusas made with rice flour. You won't regret it. So delicious!!!!! read more

Las pupusas están muy buenas!!!! la verdad vale la pena el precio, y los chilaquiles también están ricos, los frijoles y arroz que lo acompañan saben como hechos en casa sin tener demasía grasa! Recomiendo que prueben el chocolate caliente también! Excelente servicio muy amables. read more

I got an order of plantains and thought it would come with cream, but it was just plain plantains. The plantains were good though. Prices seem to have gone up since whenever the menu photos on Yelp were taken. Still pretty affordable. The lady working the front was very friendly! read more

This is one of those restaurants that adheres to the "no vibe/great food" formula for LA restaurants. I was surprised to see higado encebollado on the menu (liver and onions) which is one of my dirty secret favorites as a (mostly) vegetarian. I haven't found a good place for it yet in LA. The places that do have it prepare it in the American way and is typically pretty dry and chewy (but I still order it, lol). This was hands down the best L&O I've ever had. Sort of more stewed than sautéed, in a light, tomato-y sauce. Very tender and so very well complimented by the refried beans and thick, Salvadoran style tortillas. This place is not cheap, but the food is excellent! read more

The papusas are fabulous and the ladies are always so helpful!!! You can call and place larger orders ahead which is really helpful! read more

Food is very homemade it's honestly the best Salvadorian food. Must try I always come with friends and have a good eating experience

Thanks to other yelpers I had heard of this place and quite honestly I was a bit skeptical because I had passed by this location and always missed it. I finally just ordered for delivery and oh boy was I pleasently surprised. The food was delicious and piping hot. I had been in search of a pupusa place near me. I have now found it. The platanos were nicely caramelized and not burned. The pupusas had the perfect ratio of masa to filling. I'm a happy girl today. read more

Salvamex - a plate of food on a table - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Quite simply the best Pupusas I have ever had! Order with confidence knowing you will get authentic pupusas that will satisfy your taste buds. The staff here was beyond friendly and made it a point to ask many times if we were enjoying our Salvadorian feast. The answer was a resounding YES!!! They also offer delicious Mexican food on their menu. The Carne Asada Quesadilla might be the most delicious one I've ever enjoyed too! Don't let the neighborhood scare you away. This place is worth your time and business. Gracias, Salvamex! read more

10/10 highly recommend. Parking was super easy to find right in front of the store and it's free which is a bonus. It always frustrates me when it's difficult to find parking in LA. This place is definitely a "hole in the wall" and my brother recommended it to me. Traditional Salvadorean dishes and such a variety ranging from breakfast to dinner and dessert! I have not tried the dessert yet but the items on the menu looked so delicious. My stomach just ran out of room so I'll have to return. Other reviewers mentioned that the wait for the food is awhile, but it was not too long for me, and heck it's because the food is so darn fresh! You can hear the slapping of the dough in the kitchen and the food arrives hot. Pupusas were all delicious and I love that they are generous with the cheese as you can see it oozing out when it arrives. I appreciate that this place has vegetarian options for the pupusas such as squash & cheese, jalapeño & cheese, spinach, flower, etc. Which is a nice change from where I see the only veggie option is bean and cheese (which I also like but it's nice to have choices) Overall, definitely try this place out as the service is also amazing. Such friendly staff and when they shared that Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays several pupusas on the menu are 0.99 cents, I was so excited! Went a bit overboard but I don't regret it. The pupusas also come with a side of Cabbage topping, and some red sauce (not sure what it was). Also ordered the Plato Tipico Especial and it was a variety of shrimp, steak, yucca, plantain, rice, and a white sauce (maybe crema?) All of it was amazing. I highly recommend and I would return for this dish!! It's very filling and I would suggest sharing amongst 2 people. It provides a nice variety and also you get to try a little of everything. Go now! read more

Twice now watched the female employee handle cash and not wash her hands and start handling food. Really gross. I never write bad reviews. Next to one of my favorite spots too. Teach your staff some cleanliness. Can only imagine how much neglect happens behind the scenes read more

This is my favorite spot to enjoy a burrito from, to enjoy pupusas from, and they also have delicious tortas as well as specialty plates with rice and beans. The experience dining in is always lovely, with a super clean and friendly atmosphere. You can always trust the pupusas especially to be fresh, delicious, and come with the tastiest classic pupusa toppings. I was very pleasantly surprised by their burrito as well if you couldn't tell, and their tortas are in the better half of tortas I have ever had. A gem! read more

It's right down the street from my place and so delicious. Everytime you order online, they give you a 10% discount off your next order. If you love some delish pupusas, this is the place to go! What's great is they have a lot of vegetarian options. read more

Service is great feels like going to your nice Tia's house food was very delicious I got the rapidito plate (I think that's the name) came with 2 pupusas cream those sweet plantains and i substituted the beans for rice read more

I love the food from here! I've tried their soups, seafood, chicken plates, and of course the pupusas. Everything here is really tasty and satisfying. The workers here are really friendly and welcoming as well. It's also really clean inside. The accept card but with a small, reasonable service charge. If you don't mind, cool. If you do, bring cash. read more

Been a few times now and delicious every time. Even with an older mix up last time I was still very satisfied with the food lol. Cute little spot for great pupusas read more

We had cheese and spinach and cheese pupusas and fish filet plate. Everything was delicious! We'll definitely be coming back!

Great food, spot on flavor, yummy champurrado, great service and a liquor store next door. Perfect one stop

The food wasn't the only good thing about this place. Their habanero salsa and the service were amazing!

Their Pupusas are off the charts delicious! Never eaten inside but love the food itself.

If you want pupusas this is the place to go. They have a special tues-thurs for half off a few flavors. I told our server I liked a lot of slaw and she gave me an entire container to add as much as I desired. The pupusas are made fresh to order and you can do any combination of ingredients you want (my bf and I don't like cheese so we got bean with spinach and bean with squash). I haven't tried the flan I got to go but for 2.50 it looks like the perfect lil' dessert with tea for later. For 6 pupusas flan and a massive horchata we were out the door for $25 and $5.20 of it was a tip. The place itself was clean and had a nice minimalistic build out that looked new. I typically get my pupusas to go but the restaurant itself was much more inviting than similar spots. Will def be a regular at Salvamex. read more
