Salvadoran Restaurants near Downey, CA

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

“The food is good, the service and atmosphere are not, be careful, check the receipt when you pay the 24dls that they had to charge, they charged me 257.00 and to get the money back I had to go several times until they returned it to me after 2 weeks.“

“I’ve always seen this place lived literally like a few blocks from here and always wondered about how good this place is. First time coming here and have to say the chips and salsa fire. I order two pupusas one with cheese and beans and the other cheese and jalapeños fire. I order the regular size pupusas they are big. Recommend this place for a chill dinner.“

“This place is absolutely AMAZING! The food is excellent, if you’re looking for authentic Salvadorian food, look no further. The server, Rosie, is so friendly it just made our experience that much more great! Absolutely the best hidden gem we’ve come across! We will keep coming back over and over! THANK YOU ROSIE ?“

“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.“

“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 ?“

“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.“

“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. ??“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“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“

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

“This restaurant was just bought by a new owner, I came here to eat some red chicken enchiladas and they were mouthwatering. The staff is friendly and attentive. The place is very clean and welcoming. Their appetizer tomato sauce is the best I've tried so far along with their chips. Top service in town, if you have any questions for whatever reason you can call them during their regular business hours and they will gladly answer them, would recommend to anyone.“

“This place is a small family owned business - the workers inside are super nice. The food is prepared fresh and so takes 10-15 min to prepare. The papusas are really good - my favorite is the carnitas and cheese. The peacado maharo (fried fish) is very tasty with lots of protein. The shrimp dishes are good as well. I would recommend this place definitely, and is super affordable.“

“Delicious Salvadoran food at a good price. Good servants with attention to details and a smile. I liked that there was no reggaeton music but from Central America and the Caribbean because that is music that Salvadorans listen to. We are not interested in knowing how many the reggaeton player slept with, or how he treated her in bed, or that he has a VIP of old wives. I hope they always stay like this.“

“Delicious food and good service“

“The pupusas are always great! Everything you get it's going to be amazing, you can't go wrong. Try the Horchata and Fresco de ensalada for a fresh tasty treat��“

“las pupusas sopa de pata👍“

“It was busy and the delicious popusas. It took a few minutes to make the food. I tried the frijoles con queso. It was freshly made, and the curtido and tomato sauce were delicious. Make sure you go with plenty of time, especially if you arrive at lunch or dinnepopular. I tried their fruit ensalada drink. It was cold and refreshing. It tasted a lot like inka cola with tiny pieces of apple.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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 best spot in LA for Pupusas. They aren't just big, but they actually taste amazing. And the yucca frita with chicharrón is great. My favorite pupusas are the cheese (the cheese pull is insane). Parking is hard to find but def worth it. Pro-tip: don't park in the laundromat next door they'll tow your vehicle. Cash-Only also.“

“Loved it!!! Pupusas are fresh and so yummy! Salsa y curtido is the best!Call ahead because it takes 6 pupusas 25 min to make. Which is not a problem especially how good they make them. Got 2 frijol y queso and four de queso. Will be coming back!“

“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!

Wheelchair accessibility: Park rear with handicap placard, and there is wheelchair accessible entrance.“

“Yum!!

My son loved his tacos and the papusas were amazing!We'll be back!“

“Well, first advice, bring cash because they charge for using a card the food is delicious, the prices are good, the customer service is good, 4 stars, very nice decoration, you have to order in front, ok, not at the tables, it's strange for my name, they wanted to serve me at the tables, I ordered in front and They charged me Hai himself then notice that the others were fine ?“

“Had the Carne Asada plate with beans, rice, and a salad. The Service was exceptional!! Food waa great as well. The Jamaica was the best ill ever taste!! I definately will return to try a different plate.

“Bardzo smaczne jedzenie. Na moją prośbę dostałem bardzo smaczną wersję z Chorizo i Wieprzowiną. Zdecydowanie polecam“

“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.“
