Salvadoran Restaurants near El Monte, CA

“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 😊“

“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.“

“Excelente comida!!! Muy rico mi tapado gracias! También el aguas de maracuya me gusto mucho“

“I've only had the pupusas, they are average. The customer service is super friendly, and received my order fairly quickly. The atmosphere feels like you're out in the beach on the restaurant side, they have sit down. The other side is a store, they seemed to be a little cluttered only because they want to sell a lot of convenient things.“

“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 😋“

“100% go with these guys. They were not only the most economical, but they were SOOO GOOOOOD and a hit with all our guests. I still have people texting me how good the pupusas were. And the agua fresca was so good. Will definitely use them 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.“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“The waiter recommended the Caldo de Gallina and Wow great recommendation…it was super tasty and just the right amount of serving and the price was fair. The service was wonderful I would recommend this place if your looking for fresh clean meal.“

“Nice selection of tasty pupusas and their breakfast was on point!!!“

“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.“

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

“Good google and good service“

“This will make you so happy I recommend you try this food right now🍾🍾“

“Ariana is great, fantastic customer service and great attitude, she makes you feel welcome, we order pupusas and the carne asada plate with shrimp both plates were delicious, we were so happy to stop by I took some empanadas to go, I’ll let you know how they were?I tried the empanadas they were delicious!! I got 2 of custard.

Parking: They have parking in the back of the store.“

“Súper buen servicio Buen ambiente“

“Great food and welcoming staff.“

“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.“

“Bomb pupusas! I’d eat them everyday if I could. Authentic as it can get, check this place out you won’t regret it!“

“Ordered here because it was one of the only places open on Christmas Day and it did not disappoint! The food is all very well made, not overly greasy, flavor on point. 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.“

“we were recommend and we really love the food, my hubby and friends from Australia Really love the food“

“Great rice and beans! Not spicy. Inside there are many tables for sitting and enjoying a relaxing meal. There were several customers during lunch, but not crowded. I was using the laundromat next door and the lady at the entrance was very accommodating. It looked clean and inviting.“

“Muy buena comida y un ambiente familias ,“

“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.“

“Went here with family who had varying dietary needs, and this restaurant was able to accommodate all of them. Also, these were the best chilaquiles I've ever had!! The sauce was amazing. The service was excellent and I felt the staff really took care of us. We will be coming back.“

“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.“
