Salvadoran Restaurants near Anaheim, CA

“Recomiendo rio Restaurante por la comida muy orijinal benga buen servício“

“Our family loves this small restaurant. Food is always hot, fresh, and tasty. Some favorites are the pupusas, pollo encebollado, carne asada, and the yucca or fried banana for a side. The glass bottles of soda out of the fridge are always cold.“

“todo esta delicioso.... la comida 100% salvadoreña“

“Walk down from the Westin convention center, just 25 minutes well worth it. Had the chorizo queso pupusa and the Chicharron pupusas both excellent. But the star of the show was the beef and cheese Mulitas. Tortillas are pressed to order, very special flavors. They have all the appropriate beverages, the Jarritos and Mexican Coke.“

“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.“

“Love me some pupusass! This spot slaps. Ordered they're chicharon, ruelta, pollo, and vegan spinach pupusas and all we're exceptional. Alongside we ordered they're pollo tamales and horchata which were all bomb.

One caveat is they're cortido could've been more sour for my liking. They're cortido is more on the salty side.

The spot feels very homey and cultural.

Loved it.“

“Don’t let the exterior deter you from some good pupusas. We liked the balance between the masa and cheese. Other places give you a ton of masa and little to no contents. This is not the case here. Good flavor, good ingredients, good curtido and their red salsa was nice and spicy. Look forward to trying others. They had cheese, bean, been and cheese, squash/calabasitas and cheese, chicharrón, and revueltas. We had cheese and a revuelta.“

“Everything was delicious. From the first coffee that came out to the last bite, my little one kept asking for more chicken, so flavorful.
You have to try their tamales, the masa has great taste and the texture is perfect. Their pupusas were perfect ratio of masa to filling and were not greasy at all. We also tried their gallina guisada with rice and salad, perfect! This is not a regular menu dish, but try anything guisado, and I’m sure it’ll be great also.
I enjoyed the service and atmosphere also.
I don’t write many reviews, but I had to for El Sabor de El Salvador because I definitely recommend.“

“El caldo de ayer,me encanto.ese lugat me gusta.porque la comida esta sabrosa.y lo mas importante de un restaurante para mi.es el baño,felicidades estan muy limpios,.les recomiendo este lugar!!“

“I've been here twice and both times the food was delicious. Yesterday was my first time trying an actual salvadorean dish besides the typical breakfast plate and pupusas and I was glad I did. The pollo encebollado had a savory taste with sweetness from the carmelized onions and the rice and beans were soooo tasty. I love that the plate comes with a fresh side of salad because it adds color and freshness to a hearty plate. The service is also attentive and polite.“

“I give them 5 stars for the food, the atmosphere, and the friendly staff, but at the same time, I feel sorry for them because how is it possible that the owners or managers can't see that they need more staff to serve the tables!I always eat there because the food is delicious, but unfortunately, we don't have the full service. I'm not trying to speak ill of the waitresses, but they need help. I see them running around answering phones, delivering orders, and cleaning tables. That's exploitation on the part of the owners, in my opinion. They'd rather lose customers than pay more staff.“

“If you are looking for a good beef broth, come to this restaurant, it is small, clean and has very good food. It is almost always full so the service is always a little slow because they have to attend to tables, orders, customers, etc. I highly recommend the beef soup (beef broth), the dish is perfect and they add a lot of meat more than vegetables. It is advisable to go early as it takes a while to serve the food.“

“We stayed next door at the Great Wolf Lodge and were looking for dinner that wouldn't cost us an arm and a leg. We found this Pupuseria next door and decided to give it a try. I must say that we enjoyed the pupusas very much. They were delicious. The pricing was good and the size is that of your average pupusa. Our server was really nice and helped answer any questions that we had. He came constantly to see if we needed or wanted to order anything else. We actually did order a few more pupusas and a macho banana with condensed milk (which was delicious). I would definitely come back to eat here if I was in the area, or when we come back to the hotel next door. If you are staying at the GWL, just walk over, it's next door. No need to move your car from the crazy parking structure.“

“If you’re looking for real authentic Mexican food here is the hole in the wall. Delicious Popusas. The birria Tacos with Hand Made tortillas hits the spot! Blessed to have places like this open and sharing our culture foods to others. Come try this place!“

“Quiet Restaurant specializing in Mexican and El Salavdorian food.

Meals are essentially home cooked to order. They offer a number of dishes some better then others but a few hidden gems 💎 that elevate this place. The Pupusas are fantastic and when you factor in the price unbeatable anywhere else nearby.

A few additional recommendations is the Fiesta Burrito (wet burrito stuffed with carnitas and chili relleon) is a great lunch option or their Jeuvos Racheros are a great breakfast option.“

“The work environment and the service are incredible... the girls are incredibly friendly and attentive. I love this place. And even though I have closer Salvadoran food restaurants, I prefer this one to a thousand... Yohana is incredibly friendly“

“We stopped here by accident. I needed a restroom my daughter was hungry. The pupusas were out of this world and handmade right in front of us. We were on our way to pick up my other daughter from the airport and we came back on the way back so that we could share how good they were. There were nice clean places to sit and counter service and a fridge full of drinks. The prices were reasonable and the service was excellent“

“Very friendly and helpful.All the waitress are very pretty.The dishwasher even greeted us with a Buenas Tardes,Opened the door for us.That kicked off a great evening dinning there.Can't complain everything went smooth,Popusas were freshly made brought to us hot.Great way to end a hard working week.Gracias“

“Muy buena la comida 🥘 todo muy rico“
