Salvadoran Restaurants near Altadena, CA

“I found them on Atlantic Blvd in Monterey Park on my way home in this chilling night. I've had a long day at work and my belly was flat. I need food. So I stopped in front of their yellow truck and Hazel told me that chicken plate is really good. And she didn't lie to me. It is beyond amazing! I've never tried any Salvatore food but this is way too good. Definitely beyond my expectations! If you thought you don't like Hispanic food, you should try this place. Chef Will really knows about food. He saw me shaking in the cold breeze so he gave me a saucer of sample fries. It tastes like heaven. Seriously!!! I'm not kidding. Chef Will knows what is real cuisine. The seasoning is not too crazy but just perfect for flavor. Highly recommended!“

“Every single plate I had is been delicious 😋“

“very good food good service“

“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.“

“The best Pupusas I ever had! (Don't tell my wife) $3 each?! Are you kidding me! I tried pork beans and cheese, beans and cheese, cheese and Jalapeño and Asada. All were hot and juicy and incredible but surprisingly I liked the cheese and Jalapeño best. I mean "queso" and Jalapeño of course.
Cash only.
Bring a dirty car. ??“

“The chipillin tamales w beans were warm n soft n the pupusa was cheesy n brownly crisped so nicely. I could feel the luv in the food u kno . The guy at the register described diff dishes on the menu w sm care n brought out salsa n 2 types of hot sauce w the cabbage :9 also the Salvadoran horchata was so good, it’s nuttier n earthier n less sweet . All for $13 . Felt like a warm hug :~)“

“100% go with these guys. They were not only the most economical, but they were SOOO GOOOOOD and a hit with all our guests. I still have people texting me how good the pupusas were. And the agua fresca was so good. Will definitely use them again“

“All I can say is that this place is BOMB. They have EVERYTHING you can think of. From Smoothies, jugos naturales to dessert and hot food. I got the caldo de res con tortillas hechas a mano and it was delicious. I'll definitely come back.“

“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.“

“Just one detail that I want you to be able to correct is the tanning that you can grind the marjoram a little because it has some very long twigs and one of those sticks got stuck in my throat and I couldn't get it out until with the help I took it out with some tweezers. I hope you pay attention to this detail.“

“OMG! Thee BEST pupusas Ive ever eaten! The curtido & salsa that goes with this dish is so tasty, make sure u order XTRA to put on top. Not becuz they give u a small portion, becuz it's so yummy delicious, your gonna definitely wanna pack it on your pupusas. A must try if u enjoy pupusas! But parking is not ideal. So bring a friend to jump off your car to get order to go, while u spin the block.“

“First time trying this place.. parking is a bit hard to find but shouldn't detour you.. I ordered 3 cheese pupusas n ensalda drink.. lady at counter was very nice n we chatted a bit.. the pupusas were really good.. will definitely be vack“

“Ariana is great, fantastic customer service and great attitude, she makes you feel welcome, we order pupusas and the carne asada plate with shrimp both plates were delicious, we were so happy to stop by I took some empanadas to go, I’ll let you know how they were?I tried the empanadas they were delicious!! I got 2 of custard.

“One of the best kept secrets in Town! Best Pupusas in the area! My favorite has to be the Loroco Pupusas.“

“The food so delicious 🤤 My
Mom loves to come to eat here the owner are always polite and friendly. The Food fresh and very good there no words enough to said that there food is super delicious and tasty 😋 the food I love here are the pupusas de queso and the Caldo de gallina India“

“buen servicio y amavilidad se Los recomiendo.buena comida.“

“Okay, I’ll admit my review might be a little biased — I’ve been coming here since I was a little girl, so there’s definitely some nostalgia involved. But let’s talk pupusas. They’re big, stuffed like they mean it, and even though the price has gone up (thanks, inflation), it’s still a way better deal than those places charging five bucks for sad, skinny pupusas. These ones don’t play around when it comes to the fillings!“

“(Translated by Google) I like the egg cakes that they sell here and they are cheap, the egg is freshly prepared, they put cheese and cream beans according to taste, they also have some breakfast dishes, the bread is regular and they also have coffee, the place is wide, They have several tables available, the place is not very clean and a bit expensive for some dishes.“

“very good food good service“

“Sweet staff and slay prices, breakfast plate with the plátanos and huevos rancheros were good but lowkey would skip out on the pupusas, the one I go the mass was so thick and lowkey not that good. Horchata was okay, kind of nutty, I would opt out for Jamaica next time if possible.“

“Authentic and. delicious 👍👍“

“This is my third time eating here. I’ve already tried the Pupusas and they were just wonderful today. I’m having the Caldo de Pescado and I asked for catfish and it also is really wonderful. Everything I’ve had here has tasted great no disappointment and the service is really excellent so happy to have found this place.“

“Bomb pupusas! I’d eat them everyday if I could. Authentic as it can get, check this place out you won’t regret it!“
