“I feel very well here I like it feel comfortable like I’m being home and no one disturbed me I like the food and everything and I wish you can everybody can come eat to this restaurant but everybody has choices right but this is my favorite place“

“They have the best Pupusas I’ve ever had. 😋“

“So happy this place opened near our home. It's been a while since a good restaurant has been here. The food is all freshly cooked to order. The prices are reasonable and it all taste great. I really love the burritos and the tacos. My husband enjoys the sopes. It's clean and the staff is super friendly.“

“This place is amazing, the food is delicious, and the portions are so big that you can honestly share a plate. I cannot emphasize how delicious the food is. The meat is tender and juicy, the salvadoran plate felt authentic, it had that taste that is so missing here in US. Even the Peruvian plate was delicious and better than Inka Mama's. I would definitely recommend eating here.“

“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.“

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

“This place is much better than Comalapa across the street. The staff is friendly and their flavors are 10/10. Their pupusas are gigantic. I got the breakfast eggs with beans, plantains, tortillas, cheese, and sour cream, and their portions and flavor are the best. The beans were bomb. 100% recommended“

“While this small place might just be in a car wash, do not overlook this hiddengem when looking for pupusas. We have been coming here for years and the flavors are perfect. The pupusas are big, yet full of flavor and made fresh. This also means the wait times might be longer so if you do have larger orders, I recomend calling in ahead. They also have other food dishes such as soups,tacos and even tamals. This is a must try place for fans of food in general and especially salvadorean food. The prices are also very reasonable for the amount of high quality food you get.“

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

“There is an atmosphere here that transcends more than just thick tortillas. Everything is clean and very well organized. They add a special touch to all they do. You'll see what I mean when you go. The food, though, always has to be star and it was! For those who miss central american breakfast, get el Tipico. I couldn't finish is and I'm a pig lol. Pa los wilas, they have tasty american style dishes. The coffee was fresh and waiter was on it with the refills. I found my new breakfast spot but will try dinners soon too.“

“I love this place they have good pupusas and a fruit salad drink that's so good the waitresses r always friendly and always check on you, I think this place is a great place to eat pupusas I love the pupusas special 1 pupusas rice and beans for $7.95 the rice and beans are very tasty 😋“

“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.“

“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.“

“Él mejor restaurante se los Garantizo que lo biciten Seran super atendidos.“

“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.“

“Best place to get pupusas salvadorian, best ones I recommend for intense flavor would be revueltos. The salsa that comes with it is a tomato salsa, bit watery-BUT not spicy at all AND delicious(especially the chicken/cheese pupusas!). Flavorful cooked plantains, sides, and chorizo sausage amazing! The staff are nice too! Definitely recommend!“

“I went today on a whim and tried out their Pupusa's. I tried the jalapeno and cheese, beans and cheese with chicharron, and the chicken and cheese. All three were big and had a great portion of all the stuffings. Great salsa and curtido as well“

“Rica comida, buen servicio!!“

“Very good food with homemade taste. A little hidden place in Walnut, but with great dishes and you can feel the love in the food you eat. I tried the bistec picado, and a carne asada burrito...delicious. Do not forget to try the fruit juice. Very refreshing!“

“I just tried Loroco Bistro restaurant for the first time, and I was blown away! The food was absolutely delicious and hands down some of the best Salvadorian food I’ve had. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and made with care. My husband and I are definitely coming back! Plates were full, services was great the staff was very attentive and they had the tvs with the games on so we were happy!! .. highly recommend!“

Add in 5 choices of agua fresca and you have a bounty of superb options. On top of all that the people that work here are some of the sweetest you'll ever meet in this industry“

I will be coming again. Pupusas were fire too.“

We even loved the salchipapas we got as a free upgrade because we ordered through Uber Eats. Can’t wait to try different menu options in the future. This place is definitely a hidden gem.“

“El Espino Restaurant is a great spot for Salvadoran food! They have a wide selection to choose from, especially if you’re craving authentic flavors. The pupusas are delicious and made just right, and their mariscos dishes are fresh and flavorful. Definitely worth checking out if you want a variety of traditional options all in one place.“

“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.“

“I enjoyed a delicious lunch with a dear friend. We were there for about an hour after we were done eating, without feeling like we had to rush to leave like many restaurants now. I had a pupusa revuelta with an order of pastelitos, both delicious and made fresh.“
