“Buena la comida 🥘 y barato“

“Muy buena comida y económica“

“Tenía mucho tiempo sin comer chicharrón, frijoles negros, plátano frito, huevos y pupusas en una misma sentada. Disfruté de la comida y del servicio del personalidad. Lo recomiendo.“

“It was my first time getting food from here.so the food was so delicious I got my self a caldo de pollo just eating the chicken by itself got really full and pupusas here a huge like 1 or 2 you will get full (depending on how much do eat lol) the restaurant look super clean and the person who took my order was super friendly and kind“

“Las Pupusas, buenísimas y que no falte la cola champán“

“I was skeptical at first I know we all have our own pupusa lady or our spot which will be our go 2 but honestly I gave it a try and wow very delicious pupusas amazing customer service I went in person and ordered waited about 20m or so worth the wait pupusas were spot on fresh and hit the spot try it i got the chicharron con queso aka revuelta“

“Healthy simple food.I like it just the way it is. I got the #1 ejotes con huevo; scrambled eggs, green beans, onion, tomato & bell pepper; accompanied with queso fresco, beans, crema, avocado slice, and thick corn tortillas. Fresh, simple and not heavy. Plus the price is also fair. If we ALL ate good simple food vs fast food chain, we all would be better off“

“First timer, and I am definitely picky when it comes to Salvadorian food and authenticity, this is very delicious and homey feel. .I had pupusas (revueltas, queso con loroco, chicharon) all very good not greasy at all. Sauces and curtido very good!!!!. Very clean restaurant and very friendly staff. Thank you“

“Love their pupusas and all other tasty dishes. I love that I can buy both Salvadorian and Mexican combined!“

“This a great place for pupusas.I had both a loroco and a revuelta pupusa. The loroco was very cheesy and had a very nice light veggie taste from the blossoms. The revuelta was full of flavor and not overly salty.The cortiodo had a nice bite to it and a pleasant balance between the herbs and vinegar.I also had a tamale de elote, it tasted very fresh. It came with crema and beans, and was a nice finish to my lunch.I think they make their own tamarindo Agua fresca - it had a nice tartness without being overly sweet.“

“Best pupusas ever. I’ve also tried their sopa de gallina, pan con pollo and yuca con chícharron which have all been excellent. Our go to is the pupusas revueltas grandes which will be a little bigger, have more filling and are so cheesy! We accompany our pupusas with the plate of Platanos con frijol y queso and a large ensalada drink, hits the spot every time. Everything is made to order so you might wait a while but it’s definitely worth it.“

He decided to try it. I placed an order online through Grub Hub for pickup. He waited the 20 minutes for it to be ready. Only to show up and find out they don't do online orders. Well, whatever, I will order in person, but it turns out that they only accept cash......they must have card services...there are people who use cards, because we don't use cash on the streets,,They need that service“

“The pupusas are great. The black beans super delicious and the platanos fritos.
I called ahead for pick up it took about 20 mins. Food is great will be coming back to try there other stuff on the menu. Totally recommend this place.
Parking is limited. I parked on the street.“

“I’m only doing review on the food because it’s my first time trying it and I ordered through Uber eats. I ordered pupusas revuelta, cheese , beans & cheese, and some plátanos fritos and omg IT WAS DELICIOUS! I took my shot by ordering through uber eats and I’m glad I did 😊 can’t wait to the try sopa de gallina!❤️“

“Cielo mar y Tierra y el caldo de gallina esta Rico“

“Homey restaurant that serves up fresh homemade El Salvadoran food. Everything was fresh and good. The fried plantains with black beans and eggs with fresh tortillas I feel we're meant for pupusas which works for me. CASH ONLY. Street parking only with locals as most customers like myself. Hole in the wall special!! And know the homeless try to come in and beg for money which is interesting because the paying customers just ignore. Provecho.“

“Don’t let the city scare you, this is a very nice and clean restaurant.

The food is very good, they serve both Salvadoran and Mexican food. I have only tasted the Salvadoran food, pupusas, sopa de pata, traditional breakfast etc. the dining area is spacious and will accommodate a large family. If you want authentic tasting pupusas or Salvadoran food this would be the place to eat.

There is plenty of onsite parking for both the restaurant and the other business.“

“Small restaurant.When coming here I enjoy getting their pupusas for take out. Very rarely eat in.They mostly speak Spanish so for me there's a little bit of a language issue. I guess on a fundamental level they are good with customer service. For their patients mostly and for not rejecting me and/or some other negative experience.Would I go again? Yes for spontaneous urge for pupusas.Would I recommend? Yes, I Encourage at least a few visits. To draw own personal feel. Support small business that has great pupusas, plus potential good food.“

“Rica comida, buen servicio!!“

“This place is a hidden gem. The staff are super nice great customer service as soon as you walk I'm glad we came across it. We took 10 pupusas to go and ate there it was all freshly made as you order. You won't regret coming here. We will be coming back Thank you

“Very delicious food, abundant. Place is hole in the wall. It has four tables. Max capacity 10 people. Lots of customes picking up orders placed over the phone. Very clean. I order salpicon and a medium orchata. I enjoyed very much. Took my 45 minutes to finish my meal. :<)“

“Food is really good, delicious popusas!“

“The food is good and decently priced.I like the fact that you can get Salvadorian dishes or Mexican.Since it's located in a lower-income area, the atmosphere is not even mid-tier.Don't let that discourage you.I enjoyed the chilaquiles with a side popusa.“

“good pupusas across from Nogales High“

“The atmosphere is quiet and there is a table for billiards and jukeboxes with a tremendous sound! Isabel is a beautiful person, very kind and courteous, I used a friend called El Negro (Good vibes) my experience was very good here I recommend this place if you are looking for shade by night...“

“I was craving pupusas and was looking around for a new spot since all the ones around the south bay area are so so or haven't been so good. I called ahead to place my order. I ordered about 15 pupusas. When I arrived I checked in the counter and was given a 15 minute ETA for completion but i ended up getting my food in 10min. When I got home I was pleasantly surprised my pupusas were neatly packaged and were wrapped individually so they wouldn't get stuck to each other. The pupusas looked and smelled great. They were a little on the greesier side but I don't mind. I am usually not optimistic about the curtido (not sure if that's how you spell it lol) and the red sauce but let me tell you it was fire .. they were both done right and the Lemus restaurant was not stingy with the amount they gave out. The revueltas were really good and had a good mix of stuffing inside they were not stingy. The bean and cheese were also good and really cheesey my kids loved them. I will definitely be coming back for some more.“

“I have had pupusas all over the Los Angeles area. These are worth driving to Long Beach for. They are absolutely fantastic and the best I’ve had in the last eight years of traveling to LA. The fillings are very generous, and the slaw is excellent.The frijoles are so silky, smooth, and perfectly seasoned, I’m pretty sure angels eat them. Next time I come to LA I’m driving to Long Beach to come here.“

“Muy rica comida, el lugar es muy limpio y los precios son razonables.“

“Absolutely ? % the best Salvadoran Restaurant in Southeast Los Angeles.
The Sopa de Res (Beef stew) is freshly made, order ahead if you can,.
..You will be back for sure once you discover this place!
Thanks to the owner, and Cook , Vicki , you're the best!!“

“We just had a pork and cheese pupusa, a revuelta (pork, beans, cheese) pupusa and a side order of refried beans. What a delicious meal!! I’ve been to El Salvador twice and I have had pupusa‘s in a lot of places in the United States. The pupusas at Paquitas are authentic and just so delicious. For sure, that is my comfort food! The refried beans it’s exactly what I have had El Salvador. I asked the lady at the counter what kind of beans they use and she said they buy beans from El Salvador in Los Angeles. I can totally taste the difference. They were so great I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“rica comida de verdad limpio“

“muy buena comida ,buena atencion .buen cervicio .me gusta“

“Always a great vibe and delicious food! Los platos fuertes (like the Bistec Encebollado) are 🔥🔥🔥. Will absolutely recommend to others.“

“The lady knows my voice! She automatically says Hola Josefina! Yesterday, she made me a lupus with cheese and CALABASITAS! She makes tamales. The chicken ones are so good. I bought a dozen at 10 am. took them home by 300pm they were gone. She takes orders ANYTIME and makes hundreds of them for CHRISTMAS! I love her!“

“Very delicious authentic comfort food. Large portions very delicious and friendly workers!! 5 out of 5 ⭐️“

“My new fave obsession: Mangonadas from Espiguita De Oro! Sooo good and so unique. I admit I was slightly intimidated to go in because I don’t speak/read Spanish & worried I would know what was what. But the staff answered all my questions—super friendly. I also ordered a Philly cheesesteak empanada & a bbq pulled pork empanada. They were HUGE & delicious. But I’m telling you, you’ve got to try a mangonada!“

“Buenísimo!!! Lo recomiendo . Un buen lugar y buena comida .“

“Personally, I love it, only that a couple of times they forget the tortillas and another two times they gave me a thigh with the bone peeled from the leg. Someone ate the chicken. I didn't want to complain because the food is good.

Kid-friendliness: The food is very good“

“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. ?“

“comida fresca como hecha en casas del Salvador..“

“pupusas tortas and platanos are the best“

“Very close to my house so when I'm craving pupusas or a good sopa de res this is the place I hardly eat in cause parking can be a pain in the butt but over all the food is delicious authentic highly recommend they also have a 2nd location in Inglewood much bigger like I told the wife las pupusas se comen con las manos ??“

“(Translated by Google) Brother, everything is very rich! It was my first time eating Salvadoran food and it was so delicious. Also, the service is very good, I really liked the atmosphere (Original)Hermano, es que todo está muy rico! Fue mi primera vez comiendo comida salvadoreña y fue tan delicioso. Además, el servicio es muy bueno, me gustó mucho el ambiente“

“I really enjoy eating at Ilobasco, the flavors are authentic and the portions are generous. My only issue was that it can get a bit noisy during peak hours, which made it hard to have a conversation. Aside from that, the food and service are solid.“

“El anviente muy bonito y la comida muy buena se los recomiendo al 100 es un restaurante familiar muy agradable“

“Excelente lugar 😇sus deliciosos menú 👌 😋 y las pupusas son de éxito 🙌 😋 muchas gracias 🇸🇻 un lugar muy salvadoreño muy encanta“

“Omg they have Peruvian food so u get delicious aji sauce with their hot sauces.

Pupusas are 10/10. Fresh hot and crunchy on outside served with flavorful sauce and cooling it down with the pickled slaw. Sorry scarfed this down so no photos of it haha.

Menudo also 10/10. Lots of squishy tripe goodness and broth was flavorful. Served with fresh handmade tortillas.

I want to come back to try their breakfast and maybe grab some fresh warm conchas after next door. I recommend this place! They have several types of hot sweet warm drinks too like atol de elote, atole de platano, atol de aba, arroz con leche. Yummmyy“

“Pupusas are delicious and very reasonable pricing, yes some days the parking can be a headache but it also comes with the food and pricing if it local popular "Joint". Beside the typical "pupusas " they have a variety of food many menus these a re just a few snaps.“
