Salvadoran Restaurants near Montebello, CA

“This is another review of a popup that I tried as a result of them having been at Trademark Brewing a couple months ago (being one of my favorite local breweries, and a great place to pair beer with all manner of types of food, as their food vendor changes daily.) I will note, the pupusas themselves (that is, the exterior corn-dough part) were a little dry compared to my favorite ones (at our local farmers market), but the pork pupusa had a lot of pork in it, and the pork was pretty tasty, pulled pork-style pork, and not too salty (I feel like that's a fairly common problem with meat pupusas). Tons of great, melty cheese, too. Couldn't really taste the loroco in the loroco pupusa though, mostly just tasted like cheese, so if they were back in the future, I'd definitely go for two meat ones. More flavorful curtido than my favorite farmers market vendor, too (and I like their curtido a lot - Vchos' was even better, though.) Also loved that, for only a quarter more pupusa, you can also add jalapenos, which if you like peppers, I would solidly recommend. I also added a side of plantains for $1.50, which was the perfect amount to accompany the pupusas. Great plantains, too. So, overall, I'd say, while they could've been a little less dry, I *would* definitely pay $11 for that meal again ($9 for two pupusas + adding jalapenos to both + plantains) if I saw them at Trademark again.“

“This is a hidden gem! The food is fresh to order. I've only tried the pupusas revueltas and tacos de carne asada. It's a small location but definitely worth a try. It's an interesting combination of different foods. The cooks are really sweet and the gentleman at the register is friendly. There are only about 6 tables with 4 chairs each, but if it's only you and your date it's perfect. The decor is a lot of Salvadoran art and some plates with Salvadoran currency. It's cute for a date to chat and have some good food.“

“Súper buen servicio Buen ambiente“

“This restaurant is like a pearl in a clam in HP neighborhood. They serve delicious Salvadoran food. The restaurant can sit about five tables. It's clean and well lighted. There are two colorful wall paintings depicting life of Salvadorans. The cashier has a cheerful voice which enlightens your day. She's very friendly and knowledgeable.“

“This was definitely a great dining experience. They treated us well from start to finish. Our waiter was great! He made sure everyone was ready during our time there. The attention to the smallest detail was a truly impressive factor. The food was without a doubt one of the best meals I have ever had“

“My husband and I just tried this place tonight and it’s so good! We ordered the revuelta, been and cheese, and plain cheese. They were all full of flavor. Would definitely come again.“

“We have had pupusa many times, so I decided to get the camarones al mojo. I was a little hesitant at first because I have never had any other type of Salvadoran food. I made a great choice. The camarones were so delirious. They were cooked perfectly and tasted amazing. My mom got the pupusas. Great taste and very flavorful. Best pupusas we ever had. Our see Rosie was vey great and tok her time to answer any questions we had. We will definitely be come back here.“

“The pupusas were delicious, and we also carne asada it was good too, and the ladies are very kind and attentive.Vegetarian options: They have food with no meat that you can find in the menu.Parking: The parking is small so if it’s busy you would not find parking.Wheelchair accessibility: They have handicapped parking and access.“

“We enjoy eating pupusa very much it's our favorite Salvadoran dishes of course there's others great Salvadoran dishes we also enjoy. Our favorite Salvadoran restaurant was closed then we decided to go our other favorite Salvadoran restaurant it just near our house. We know ever Salvadoran restaurants makes their pupusas different from other Salvadoran restaurants because of the taste and the ingredients and also region of El Salvador they came from.We decided order some pupusa to go but the restaurant was very busy people dining in and take out we waiting a wait to get our meal. Our meal was real then we took it home we were surprised how big the pupusa were. Other Salvadoran restaurants make their pupusa small or medium size. It also come wirh tomatoe sauce and shredded gabbage mixed. The Pupusa was big and very cheesy then I add the tomato sauce and Cabbage mixed combine together tasted so good great flavors I can't stop eating I enjoy eating pupusa even my wife enjoy it also . Next we need to try other Salvadoran cuisine.“

“(Translated by Google) The best place to enjoy the delicious pupusas. Clients of this place for more than 10 years and the best of all. The best customer service(Original)El mejor lugar para disfrutar las del8ciosas pupusas. Clientes de este lugar por más de 10 años y lo mejor de todo. El mejor servicio al Cliente“

“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.“

“These pupusas are delicious. They are probably the best in El Sereno. The Lady operating seems to love what she is doing, which is reflected in her food. Each order comes with Curtido (Cabbage Slaw) and Red and Green Salsa . This is my go-to spot when I want pupusas. It may be located in an unconventional place, a Car Shop or a Wash but I recommend it to anyone who needs that Pupusa fix.“

“OMG did I find my new favorite spot! I was too busy eating that I forgot to take pictures. The place is so cute and the service was amazing! What we had : 3 Pupusas Beans and cheese 2 Revuelta pupusa Eggs with Machaca Red Cheese Enchiladas Large Ensalada drink“

“I found a diamond in this beautiful family own restaurant. This is a Salvadoran and Mexican style restaurant. First, we ordered the Molcajete completo Cielo Mar y Tierra. Desayuno - and pupusas de Arroz. The restaurant is nice and clean and the food is so delicious. We also got carne guisada. And more pupusas de arroz ( instead of corn we choose rice).By the way, our Server Gladis was super nice friendly and professional. She took our order quickly and look at these large portions.Highly recommend Mi Pueblo Restaurant y Pupuseria. Either with family or friends come and support this local business. Thanks for reading“

“What a delicious spot. The restaurant appeared clean with a few tables for sit down. I ordered pupusas de chicharrón and queso. I loved the texture of the crunchy pupusa from being slightly fried. It was a nice and light, delicate crunch. The cheese and chicharrón filling was flavorful. Putting tomato salsa and curtido on top was great too. I love picked cabbage curtido!! Also got 2 chicken tamales. These are made with slices of potato, two different chile peppers and chicken. They were melty tender (not spicy!) I had their fried plantain, beans and sour cream. The fried bananas were perfectly soft and sweet! Oh, I loved them! To drink, I ordered their home made horchata. That was really impressive. I think they toasted some kind of nut, maybe almonds and blended that together with the rice. It was very tasty, and not too sweet! Very nicely balanced flavors and seasoning. All that food and my drink cost me $27. I honestly thought that was a GREAT price. This is a lovely place! Be sure to stop by. The husband and wife are the business owners and were very nice :)“

“The boyfriend and I decided to try this new thing where we randomly pick a spot to eat without looking at yelp first. We saw this hole in the wall restaurant and decided to just walk in blindly not knowing what they serve. We asked the woman who worked there what was good to eat but there was a language barrier so we used google translate. She recommended the pupusa revueltas and the pasteles de pollo and we also placed an order for salmon. Everything tasted amazing and clean. The pasteles de pollo had a nice fry to it! We are both not a fan of beans but the beans were good! We would definitely go back again.“

“This place is a hidden gem! First time trying out their liver with sautéed onions with veggies and rice and let me tell you it was worth it, I also ordered their signature Salvadorean dish Chicarrón pupusas with red spicy tomato sauce and pickled cabbage curtido and they were one of the best combos I've ever had.“

“Good was AMAZING! These ladies really know what they’re doing in the kitchen!!Cashier wasn’t sooo friendly, but I’d definitely go back again. My bf at the time was in awe at how good the pupusas tasted.Parking: It’s a small corner lot, but parking was easy at 9 am“

“The food here is extremely good. I had the empanadas and pupusas and both were top notch. Worth a trip!Parking: Medium sized lot at the location plus easy neighborhood parking.Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp from the parking lot up to the door. Tables all have chairs that can be easily moved.“

“Food is always fresh and very tasty. Our usuals are Plato de carne asada, Torta de carne asada & Sopes de carne asada. Red salsa is delicious. Green salsa not so much. Their breakfast is always a hit as well. And their prices are the best. Check them out!“

“Friendly experience, great food, please go.“

“Rica comida, buen servicio!!“

“Wonderful service and the food was delicious. We ate so fast I forgot to take a picture ?. We had Pupusas with flor de Calabasa, beans and cheese, rice and black beans, and fried Yuka. With all the fixings, curtido, salsa de tomate and salsa habanera.“

“Best place to get pupusas for sure, not to mention how amazing the food is yum ???, it's very affordable and the time wait is of course within reason but wait it gets better, for sure the curtido and salsa picante are bussin' as you're not getting the full story if you're only eating the pupusas alone. They have other items on their menu too besides pupusas but I don't know exactly what they are for sure I'll have to look again lol.“

“I've only tried the pupusas from this place, and they are pretty good compared to other restaurants in the area. So this review is for the pupusas ONLY. having said that, they taste authentic and they are generous with their sauce and curtido. Because of this, I am willing now to try other stuff there. Since the most basic of their cuisine is good, I want to assume the other plates are good as well. Will definitely update. For now food is a 5 service is a 4.“

“Machaca, bean and cheese, quesabirra tacos are delicious. Caldo de res had a little too many pieces of fat according to my dieting wife. Phone order pick up went smooth and quick. Definitely will be returning. Anyone know how's their menudo? Taco Tuesday specials advertised.“

“Now that this is Jenny’s Kitchen I decided to order some of their new items. I ordered 2 pupusas, side of extra crispy fries, and a double cheese burger with bacon combo. Only $20! And the food was amazing! The pupusas were delicious, the bean and cheese one was probably the best I’ve ever had! I’m definitely coming here again and again since I live right next to it. It’s only two workers but that didn’t stop them from treating my order with so much attention and care. I’m so excited for this place!“

“This is my go-to for local/East LA pupusas. The bean and cheese (frijol y queso) are my favorite! The cheese in general is so gooey delicious. They also have other Salvadoran dishes, but I currently stick with the pupusas and will be more adventurous when I bring one of my Salvadoran friends to get their seal of approval for the rest. I usually take my food to go and when I get home, everything stays piping hot. They are generous with the red salsa and curtido. Also, great, friendly staff! Plus, a convenient parking lot. You can get table service or call ahead for your orders. Highly recommend when you're craving a pupusa!“

“these pupusas are truly AMAZING ? something special. ok, where do we start.... for one most pupusa spots, skimp out on the cheese/fillings, and the pupusa are most likely very small. this is very common for lots of pupusa restaurants. however, this place is the exact opposite. they have HUGE pupusas that are filled with cheese/fillings. these are the best pupusas I have ever had. I truly recommend... trust me. like I would drive an hour or more for these bad boys. keep up the great work, pupuseria el kiosco !!!! I definitely would be back. oh, don't forget to place your order ahead of time !!! they take time to make like 20 to 30 minutes-Vegetarian options: bean pupusas bean & cheese pupusas“

“Have been to Eagle Rock Kitchen many times and like it. Fast and friendly service, delicious and nutritious meals, vegan included. I recommend ERK whether your vegetarian or not. A lot of choices.“

“Pupusas start at $2.50 queso y loroco and revueltas are delicious. The place looks a bit outdated inside but they have been fixing it from what I can tell, it's pretty clean inside. If you're on the go I recommend you call in to place an order, ready in 15-20 min“

“Been coming here for years, and have never had a problem staff is very friendly and the POPUSAS HERE ARE THE BOMB ? STRAIGHT FIRE ?? I HAD 15 TODAY AND YOU KNOW WHAT IF I DON'T FIT INTO MY JEANS AND UNDERWEAR TOMORROW I WONT REGRET IT ONE BIT!!!! THE ONLY THING I WILL SAY IS WHEN CAN I DO THIS AGAIN!!!! YUM ? HMMM LIKE DORA SAID "HMMMM DELICIOSO" PEPETOS FOR LIFE POR VIDA! I LOVE YOU GUY'S! #1 FAN!“

“Excelente. Comida. Y. Buena. atención... además. muy. limpio“

“Vegetarian options: You can get pupsas, empanadas, and platanos fritos. Pupsas have veggie options and if you've never had a Salvadorean empanada before, it's like a savory hot pocket of deliciousness. Cash only and easy on the wallet! Kid-friendliness: It's a food stand outside, and by the gas station so easy to pick up on your way home.Wheelchair accessibility: It's an outdoor food stand, so the sidewalk is accessible.“

“Nice selection of tasty pupusas and their breakfast was on point!!!“

“Today is my 4th time coming here, close to my house near South Gate park. I've had breakfast 3 times & today I came for a Sopa de Gallina. I must say their food is delicious, the presentation is very appealing & their service has been consistent & pleasant. I would highly recommend you come in & try it for yourself. Thank you for the great food & service. Jose D. ?“

“This review is based off of a Uber eats review and it’s probably way better in dining.I had their eggs with plantanes, chicharron pupusa, beef soup and cheeseburger with fries. The eggs were delicious and the plantanes were ok. The pupusa was pretty good and the soup was also good with a solid broth. The cheeseburger was also descent and fries were about average.I’d definitely order here again and I’m gonna try this spot in person because so think it’s way better in dining.“
