Salvadoran Restaurants near Hawthorne, CA

“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 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.“

“I love this place the food is great and the prices are even better! I recommend it all the time...“

“Amazing food, my girlfriend and I stumbled upon this place while walking. The host was so friendly, explained the menu and answered our questions as we are new to Salvadoran food. The prices are great too. We will be coming back for sure!!!“

“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.“

“Best seafood I’ve had in years!“

“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!“

“La cabañita Restaurante se los recomiendo es un lugar donde puede asistir con toda la familia un lugar seguro limpio y la comida muy rica la atención es muy buena una amabilidad y una atención única se los recomiendo el 💯“

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

“Good spot for a quick bit or a full meal. I stop like ritual every morning for my pan con frijoles/huevos/creso duro, can't go wrong. The food is delicious and the girls are nice, not mean like other places I've gone. I think it is a spot that is underrated, been in a corner, no parking lot. Feels cozy. Like one of those little spots, you go in El Salvador and get surprised.“

“Menchita's was such a sweet surprise the food felt like it was made with love seriously every bite was packed with flavor I had the empanadas and wow they were crispy outside and so juicy inside The place isn’t fancy but it has that homey vibe that makes you wanna stay longer Staff was super warm and welcoming like you’re part of the family Portions are generous prices are fair and the drinks were spot on Definitely coming back next time I’m in the area“

“Amazing tamales! Definitely ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

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

“muy rica comida y su atención fabulosa las personas que atienden son muy amables y te sientes como en casa“

“The taste was authentic....the wait wasn't too long and the price is decent for the size!!!! It's so hard to find good spots like this, but its Soo worth it!!!! We first went last night and went back this morning!!! Definitely want to stop by more often...“

“I love this little but great restaurant, pupusas and seafood are delicious in general al dishes they serve are rich in flavors, I saw many people complained about the old lady the owner,That depends on how the customers treat each other or how they spoke to her. Both she and the people who work with her are very kind and helpful. I have known that restaurant forever and I still like the food like the first time I went to eat there.“

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

“Very nice staff, fairly quick service, great food. Although I will say, I've had a bit of inconsistency with dishes like the taquitos dorados in how they're prepared. I'm mexican, I'm not sure if it's a central American thing to add radish and cucumber on top of this dish, although the first time they were big slices, so I simply removed them myself but the second time it was finely diced so be aware that dished with a lot of preparation could vary a bit from time to time. That being said, the pupusas as amazing! My favorite is the chicharon con queso, I'm a big guy, and I'm honestly good with one, although I wouldn't mind 3!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Great food and friendly service the pupusas are the bomb 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽“

“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“

“La mariscada y Plato Mixto“

“Delicious food and good service“

“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!“

“Buena la comida 🥘 y barato“

“Very delicious food, abundant. Place is hole in the wall. It has four tables. Max capacity 10 people. Lots of customes picking up orders placed over the phone. Very clean. I order salpicon and a medium orchata. I enjoyed very much. Took my 45 minutes to finish my meal. :<)“

“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 ?“

“Very good food and services“

“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.“

“This place looks a little rough on the outside but the food inside is delicious!!! Favorite things are fulfilling and good on price and portions are the “ carne asada plate “, the “ chicken soup plate “ and the yuca con chicharrón! Obviously you can’t go wrong with their typical SALVADOREÑO food but those plates really hit the spot for me!“

“Good, cozy Central American (Salvadorian) place. Food was fresh and good , but a little bit cold. I ordered plate with breakfast and green beans. My friends ordered different variation of Pupusas. They were happy.
Also here a Karaoke with a good big screens.
Sounds was not bad at all, but advising to the owner. Please put on your walls a sound proof panels. Coz you guys have a concrete walls and tile. And this gives you huge echo and sound reflection.
This is why I left earlier.

But overall I will back with my friends for sure.
Oh yes , prices for main dishes cheaper than in other similar places about 20%.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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��“

“(Translated by Google) It is a small place but with very good service and attention, it is very nice to eat alone or in company, the atmosphere is pleasant, a good price and the pupusas are the best! The tanning and tomato sauce are very rich, the girls who serve are very friendly, even the cooks, I highly recommend the place to get to rest and eat something while watching a TV program, there are also typical desserts from your Salvadoran country and I think what mexican food(Original)Es un lugar pequeño pero con muy buen servicio y atención,es muy agradable ir a comer solo o en compañía el ambiente es ameno,buen precio y las pupusas son los mejor! El curtido y la salsa de tomate son muy ricos,las muchachas que atienden son muy amables incluso las cocineras,recomiendo mucho el lugar para llegar a descansar y comer algo viendo un programa de tv,también hay postres típicos de su país salvador y me parece que comida mexicana

Vegetarian options: Hay comidas solo con queso o vegetales“

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

“Buena comida excelente servicio“

“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.“
