Salvadoran Restaurants near Downey, CA

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

“Been living close to this spot for almost 7 years now and I finally decided to try it. I was a little worried at first because they took a little long but wow when my plate got to me it was piping hot. Portion were big and food was delicious. Definitely surprised on how good it was. I will be coming again. Pupusas were fire too.“

“Love this place!! I’ve been coming here for the past 5?years, and they never disappoint. Pupusas are made with the perfect ratio of masa and what ever meat or cheese u want. My favorite is the Salpicon! It’s a shredded beef plate, which includes rice, beans, sour cream, and three of the typical tortillas, like the ones my grandma used to make!! Oh… and don’t forget the plátanos fritos for desert.“

“My first time eating Salvadorean food, and I couldn't have chosen a better restaurant :). The food was very delicious and abundant for a great price, and the waitress was so kind. The drinks are also very noteworthy. Highly recommend the ensalada 🍎🥭“

“Best pupusas this side of the border. What I love about this place is that I never gotta ask for more salsa, generous portions. Great side street parking, we got really lucky to leave a conference early and stumbled upon this whole in the wall gem ?“

“My family was in the mood for Central American food and after a quick google search I found this small hole in the wall restaurant.Glad I came here the food was delicious. The pepperoni popusas were bomb and cheesy (a lot of places skimp out on the cheese not here) . The garnachas were also good an order gets you 8!!!. Good bang for your buck.Will be coming back for breakfast.“

“great food. great service. I recommend this restaurant“

“The plate that I order was "mar y tierra" I was completely satisfied with the amount of food. the plates include : chicken, stake, beans, rice, salad, asparagus and shrimp with vegetables on top a souce. The food was well cooked also the quality of service was excellent. I recommend this plate“

“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.“

“They have really good pupusas. Hand made. I got the revueltas. They do take Apple Pay here. It is a smaller restaurant but they have plenty of tables. Since everything is hand made, it does take a while to get your food. I always just like to call ahead and pick it up. It really is worth the wait.“

“El personal super amable , las pupusas y el atol de elote delicioso !! Hemos ido varias veces y siempre son tan serviciales !! Muchas gracias 😊“

“I've never been there at night but it still gets good. I go to breakfast often and I love the re-vamp they have done. The menu has a new look even the workers are more professional. I really like the pupusas at this restaurant. 10/10 I recommend Bon appetit!“

“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 :~)“

“I have been eating at this restaurant for more than one year. Their food has a great taste, and the service is excellent and friendly. All the plates look like they were cooked with love and care, compared to other Salvadoran restaurants I have visited in these areas, where they serve food to make money regardless of whether the dish is well cooked or not. Excellent restaurant!“

“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. ??“

“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“

“Very good food and services“

“I'm not Salvadorian, but I love Salvadorian foods. This restaurant makes me even more of a pupusa-lover. Since I don't know Spanish, the Google translator helps me to communicate with the employees. But I even love it. Definitely, more often I will come back to order my dinner from this restaurant!

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“

“la comida bien salada, pedi 4 pupusas y curtido me dieron como para una nomas la sopa de Pata bien fria y solo vegetales tenia no tenia Pata ni panza y la Horchata estaba agria y le dije a la mesera k me la cambiara me dijo k nose podia k mal servicio y todo Bien caro“

“Delicious food and good service“

“It's a family owned business. The people are lovely. I love coming here for pupusas, I've had the queso, revuelto, queso con frijoles, and the chicharon. There will be a little wait as they make to order, but it's definitely worth it. I come out of my way to come here for quality and consistency.“

“If you plan on wanting to eat at home, definitely order ahead..Wait for Pupusas is usually about 20 minutes. The people there are very nice, they have reasonable prices, and I feel like they are consistent with the quality of their food( at least for the last 5 years that I've been going).. my go tos are usually Pupusas de queso con jalapeño and bean and cheese, oh and the loroco ones. Plus an order of yucca frita with chicharron.“

“Some of the best pupusas I’ve had. This place is a great little whole in the wall spot with amazing food. We happened to stumble upon it and it made our day. They make you feel so welcome and we tried everything from the pupusas, siete mares, tacos and burritos. This spot is a must try!“

“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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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...“

“Wow, the pupusas are to die for!!! Have had them from several places even from family members, but these are soooo good and nice big portion.
2 thumbs up on the food, but place does need a little bit more maintenance. Was there about 12pm sat at a table to wait for my to go order and the table was sticky. Also customer service lacks a little bit of joy in their attitude. Seems like they are tired, it was only mid-day.“

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

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

“Rica comida, buen servicio!!“

“buena comida auténtica comida. salvadoreña excelente 👌 servicio“

“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“

“I have gone to the champas because I have to pick up the pupusas that my wife orders to take away. They make some plantains that wrap beans and they are tasty and the pupusas too, except that I suffer from acids and vinegar because it makes my stomach upset, since I had an appendix operation, but if you have a good and healthy stomach I recommend them but not excessively so that it doesn't hurt your stomach too.“

“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!“

“Atención cordial super amable. Deliciosa comida insuperable y en plato grande, los precios súper económicos. Para combatir el calor pida una refrescante kola champán heladita. Pantalla inmensa de televisión. En el interior del local pueder ver maceteros de plantas muy bien conservadas. Para la vista al exterior calle Hill hay una ventana grande y la puerta principal. Te encantará.“

“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.“

“buen ambiente y muy buena la conida“

“me gusto mucho las pupusas riquísimas la a ten ion excelente está en mis planes volver para probar más comidas“

“AWESOME GREAT NICE PLACE“

“I recommend this place they have nice service and the food is good I love to come hear with my family“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“Delicious pupusas and cozy atmosphere! Respectful, professional and very pleasant service. You can use the Jukebox for your favorite music as well as watch your favorite sports on the two screens. Family atmosphere, delicious Salvadoran food and food from other countries. Irenes's Restaurant example of mutilbodybuilding! We invite you and your precious family.“
