Pupusas!
alexandra k.

This place is just around the corner, and glad I stopped in. The portions are large and filling (I ordered two pupusas for lunch which was slightly more than I could eat!) You also get a plantain meduro if you order at least 2 pupusas! The indoor dining area is tight, but they also have outdoor tables set up with shade. Come early, and be prepared to wait! The line moves slowly (I was about 6 or 7th in line, and took me about 15 minutes to get to the front of the line), and they have signage up saying food could take up to 30 minutes as food is to order. They're known for their pupusas, but I also heard their tamales are good. Even though I was there at noon on Sunday, they only had one of their three tamale options available that Sunday :( Note, they take credit card, but have a $1 surcharge per transaction

I stumbled on this spot for lunch while looking at places close to church after service one day and ever since, I try to go back atleast once a month! The owner/workers are so kind and there were times where we got service and they gave us extra pupusas or drinks or this banana dessert they have. The ambiance is bright with people & workers laughing, music playing, and good food! The last time I went I got the grilled fish of the day, my friends both got the breakfast tronquito, and we couldn't pass up on getting the gourmet pupusas to share. Grilled Salmon 5/5: exactly what I was looking for that morning because I didn't need anything heavy, but was looking for more veggies and the plate definitely had a lot of them with a healthy dollop of guacamole on top! Gourmet Pupusas 5/5: we got them stuffed with jalapeño, carne asada, and cheese and they were huge! The spicy slaw that came with them were very refreshing to eat alongside them. Would definitely recommend and try. Tronquitos looked great, but I didn't have a bite of them to be able to rate them. The chips and salsa that came with them were really good though! Aquas frescas 5/5: honestly can't give it a lower rating because the owner pulled up out of nowhere towards the end of our meal and offered it to each of us. The drinks were refreshing and made our experience even better

Chilaquiles with Carne asada
james c.

We were greeted with a smile by the owner. She fed us like we were her own. We even got a couple papusas on the house so delicious. The Chilaquiles were great lots of flavor and crunchiness! The seafood nachos were huge lots of layers fresh seafoods including shrimp. The spot is welcoming and bright. Three boarders is A mid city gem!! Smells good too!!

Upon entering you're greeted with house music and I gotta say I'm here for it. It wasn't too loud and the mix was great so I couldn't complain. The service was prompt as we ordered to-go and maybe waited 10 minutes. The breakfast tronquito (burrito) was so good. Perfect ratio of ingredients, flavors were great, and ample amount of sausage.

Border Brunch Chilaquiles + avocado

Had a great breakfast here over the weekend. No wait, lovely service, and delicious food. The customizable breakfast pupusas were a hit, and the restaurant manager has plenty of popular recommendations. We ended up going for chorizo, potato, and cheese pupusas and bacon, cheese, and bean. They came with a delicious sweet little fried banana Also got the carne asada chilaquiles. Very large portion, make sure to add avocado on top. Not sure what the pink sauce was but I did not ask questions!! The strawberry agua Fresca was delicious and also ginormous

I am blown away how amazing Three Borders Brunch and Grill is. The food is outstanding and delicious. The enchiladas, burrito, and pupusas were delightful. It's one of the best places in LA. The owners are incredibly friendly. It's very mom and pop and you will be treated so well here. Will be back!

El Guanaco (jalapeños added to the scrambled eggs), Breakfast Tronquito (avocado added), and the cucumber-apple Aguas Fresca

Such a great find! Everything was fresh and perfectly cooked, portion sizes were great (especially those drinks - massive, vibrant agua fresca for $6), and the service was beyond friendly and attentive. I still can't get over how good this pupusa was. The only downside to my experience was that I'm pretty sure my tip was added twice (there was an issue with my first payment attempt and we didn't think it had gone through - otherwise, I'm not sure how two breakfast plates and two drinks added up to $64). But it clearly wasn't intentional, so not a huge deal. We'll be back!

Chilaquiles and pupusa
The O.

The people are nice. The food however, definitely not for me. I tried a few different items and was not impressed, especially for the prices. The chilaquiles were more like Nachos and the salsa used for them was over loaded with Jalapeño juice. Huge disappointment. The $6 pupusa was average, nothing special about it. Lacking flavor if you ask me. The vegetables used for it were old and looked like they were used the day before. The orange drink was highly disappointing also giving a gassy taste with almost no flavor. Giving the extra stars for the staff who again was nice.

This place is aaaaaamazing! The pupusas were cheesy and full of flavor, the shrimp cocktails tasted fresh, and the fish tacos were delicious! Don't skip the loaded fries; they're huge and perfect for sharing. The handmade tortillas and fresh aguas frescas tie everything together. Everything is made fresh to order, so yes, there's a bit of a wait but 100% worth it. The service was AMAZING -- super friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. Restaurant is family friendly. Big portions, great prices, and delicious food, will be coming back soon. Thank you TBB

Three Borders Brunch is the best. And Yanira is the best. Food is so authentic, homey, stacked, and delicious. Everything was phenomenal. Come hungry. You won't regret it. The service is beyond friendly and hospitable. Yanira makes you feel right at home. She's a gem. And the ambiance is so charming, cozy, festive and inviting. I love this spot. So glad my friends and I came. 5/5 spot for sure.

Chips, Salsa, and Guacamole

Do not sleep on Three Borders! I've driven by this place several times and finally decided to give it a go. I'm so happy we discovered it! As soon as we walked in, we were greeted with friendly service and hospitality. They have a huge extensive menu filled with breakfast, lunch, and dinner options. The only problem is that they close at 6 so make sure to swing by for an early dinner! Their Pupusas are out of this world good and everything is made to order fresh so you may need to wait a few mins for your food but it's worth it. I am honestly so happy we have a great Mexican restaurant so close to home now and can't wait to come back!

My wife and I looked at the line at Republique and decided to look elsewhere nearby. Three Borders 4.8 stars is a high bar for a restaurant and I had saved it to my collection a few months ago to try. So glad we did. The sweetest, friendliest place and thee creative, Salvadoran-based food is beyond delicious and generously portioned. Yamira, who runs it, is a total sweetheart. Don't hesitate a moment, Just go.

Wow. This felt like stepping into your family's kitchen and having a home cooked meal while catching up. Janita makes everything herself and uses only fresh ingredients. We were stuffed, the food was delicious, and, because we went on a slower day, we were able to talk to the staff and learn a bit about them and the history of their lovely restaurant. There were even a few surprises along the way. They treated us like one of their own and were enthusiastic about answering questions, never annoyed. Help keep them in business and stop by for a genuine and tasty experience. The only thing warmer than the food was the service! Five stars all the way!

We started with their mushroom tourte, one of their favorite appetizers, serving puff pastry topped with creamy mushrooms and truffle oil. Perfect opening with hypnotizing truffle aroma. As for the entree, we tried both the Lamb Shank and their crowd's favorite Duck Confit. My husband who's a fan of lamb did love his dish as the meat was tender, portion was satisfying, and it's rich in flavor. I was in the camp of those who couldn't stand lamb's after-taste so the duck confit was my option. Extremely juicy meat with palatable sauce and nice crispy skin. We got their Creme Brulee for dessert and it just gorgeously ended the dinner set, being moist and silky, not eggy at all, flawlessly topped with torched caramel layer.

Upon entering, you can tell this is a very nice restaurant with a nice dark aesthetic that sets the mood for groups or a nice date. Not a huge french food fan but wanted to give it a shot since a lot of people recommended. Got the Duck dish which was ok. Not too strong flavors but cooked really well. Didn't think too much of it really enjoyed eating their desserts a lot more than the main dishes. And a pistachio cake plus a crème brûlée, which was really delicious and I remember a lot more than the actual main dishes. If you like French food, you'll like it here. Make sure to make a reservation. Parking is a little hard so you'll have to find street parking somewhere.

Parking: We opted for valet, but if you prefer to find your own parking, there's street parking as well as a nearby parking garage. I believe the garage is around $23 for the full day, unless you're able to get your parking validated. Food: Everything came out pretty quickly, so we didn't have to wait long at all! For starters, we shared the Bruschetta with Burrata, which was enough for all four of us to enjoy. The baguette was perfectly toasted, and the burrata was so creamy. It was a great way to start the meal. Once we finished our starter, our main courses came out. We ordered the Funghi Pizza, Rigatoni Vodka, Six Cheese Tortelloni, and Spaghetti Carbonara. The pastas were creamy and flavorful, although they did feel a bit heavy. Of the four dishes, the table favorite was definitely the Funghi Pizza. It was very cheesy, and the combination of the mushrooms and cheese made it a standout for us. We ended our night with the Panna Cotta, which wasn't too sweet, but overall felt a little underwhelming compared to the rest of the meal. Service/Ambiance: The service was great! When we first walked in, it wasn't too busy, but the restaurant did start to fill up later into our meal. Even with it getting busier, our waiter continued to check in on us and made sure we were taken care of. Overall: We had a great experience celebrating our birthdays here! The food came out quickly, the service was attentive, and everything we tried was enjoyable. I can't wait to come back and try some of the other dishes!

His advice: "go in the morning, their cakes and pastries are killer; a long line forms even before they open, it will be worth it" it's hard to not go broke here, they have sometimes unnusual combinations of pastries that are always incredible! Their chocolate + salted caramel cake is my husband's favorite, its a bit much for me but I cannot deny its beauty and quality. I love all the passion fruit desserts, their danishes, anything with Caramel is also my husband's jam. Come hungry, eat something here, take some home. When dining in I've loved a slice of their quiche of the day, they give you a nice side salad with a zesty dressing, I also love ordering the baguette with salted slow-churned cultured butter (Rodolphe Le Meuiner Beurre de Baratte) and jam - simple but WOW! Fantastic place for those coming to LA for the first time, the building is just gorgeous, and for those who live in LA: you should come!
