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...“

“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 ?“

“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.“

“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.“

“Amazing tamales! Definitely ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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!“

“Las Pupusas, buenísimas y que no falte la cola champán“

“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.“

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“

“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...“

“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!“

“Biggest thing to know is that is cash only. The place is very compact, but homey.
Good food, and well seasoned. Only issue was how expensive it was. Parking is a little tough, but worth it for a little piece of Central America here in LA. Posting the latest menu updates circa 09/2024“

“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 ?“

“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.“

“Delicious food and good service“

“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!“

“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!“

“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 !!“

“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“

“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“

“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“

“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 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...“
