“We found this gem...just by walking the area as we were visiting from Indianapolis. Our Air BNB was just a few blocks away. The food was very good and we were seated very quickly. The food came out fast too. The service was good and restaurant was very clean. Prices were so reasonable.“

“Just stopped by and had to leave a review right away!! This is the best mexican food that I have had in 10 years!! I had a wet carne adada burrito. Service was great we got our order pretty quickly and the flavors were out of this world. Seriously mouthwatering!!“

“Excelente todo el menú pero las pupusas 10 de 10 .“

“My friend and I are gluten free and this was a great find today. I do want to note we are not celiac just allergy. I had a corn (regular) bean and cheese pupusa while she tried the rice masa pupusa with spinach, onions and cheese. We both really liked our hoices and the cabbage salad. We also got a cheese tamale - note these are not like Mexican tamales but a much softer texture. We also got an order of platanos. The owners were so friendly and got to chat and learned that Jorge opened the restaurant in 2006 so they have been around a very long time. Highly recommend and we will return.“

“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 ?“

“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.“

“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 Pupusas Were very tasty and fresh. The staff were friendly and accommodating. Will defintely return...“

“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“

“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!“

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“

“This café truly adheres to a decent arrangement of guidelines technique on the most proficient method to deal with visitors or clients. I'm cheerful on the grounds that the waiters truly made us agreeable. I will certainly prescribe this café to everybody!“

“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.“

“First time trying Pupusas from Los Chorros and what can I say !!! They were so delicious !! Pricing was great especially since they were so stuffed, and their Horchata was so good . Marissa was the young girl that attended me in the counter and she was so helpful and nice and very attentive. Atmosphere was great , and very clean restaurant.I was very satisfied with her customer service and I would recommend 10/10 !!“

“The two women were welcoming well we got popusas revuelta and queso reroco I’ve been to multiple pupeserias flor Blanca la Barca and to me this the sauce is spicy ?️ beautiful color what more do you want large size popusas I devoured sorry ? but it was so good we got to go hehe ?“

“Buena la comida 🥘 y barato“

“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.“

“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

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

“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.“

“1st time here. Chose it for their 4.5 rating and "A" Food Inspection rating. The curtido was a bit spicy but enjoyable. Pupusas had a toasty outside and enough cheese. Empanadas de platano were great and half the price of other places. Horchata had a pleasant flavor. I would return“

“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.“

“Don't come here and expect valet parking. Park in the rear.Don't come here and expect a concierge. Walk to the front and open the door.Don't come here and expect a waitress. Announce yourself and sit down.Don't come here and expect some fancy restaurant. Appreciate the humble ambiance.Don't come here and expect the food to come in the blink of eye. Do bring a friend and converse while the food is prepared.Don't come here expecting to use your overpriced phone or plastic to pay for the meal. Bring some cold hard cash.Come here to enjoy some of the best food you will ever have. The dish soup is just amazing. The beans just perfect“

“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...“

“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.“

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

“Food is really good, delicious popusas!“

“By far the best and most exquisite cuisine Salvadoreño style food it just tasted like Abuela's cooking this a humble but sure proud restaurant...My God, what a great food, the chicken sopon, the pupusas, the atmosphere, the magnificent service, it will be the first place when going to LA Saboor again!! Salvadoran.“

“buena comida auténtica comida. salvadoreña excelente 👌 servicio“

“Absolutely love this place! The food is super fresh and tastes homemade. I can tell they really care about quality. Their breakfast burritos are delicious and super satisfying. I also love their fresh juices. So refreshing and the perfect complement to any meal. Great service and a cozy, welcoming vibe. Highly recommend!“

“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!“

“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.“
