Salvadoran Restaurants near Inglewood, CA

“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.“

“What a hidden gem near the airport! The street tacos were absolutely excellent—fresh, flavorful, and loaded with meat, onions, and cilantro. The salsa was delicious, and everything tasted authentic and made with care. The service was fantastic, the prices were amazing, and the portions were generous. It’s getting harder to find places where you get great food, great service, and a great price, but this place has all three. Definitely a spot worth finding, and we will absolutely be back!“

“Tiny little El Salvadorian place in Inglewood with delicious pupusas, great service, and friendly staff. I can see why people would order to-go, but it worked out great for us to grab a delicious meal before heading to the airport after a short weekend visit.“

“This is a very authentic salvadorean restaurant. This place has a great selection and it really tastes like grandma made it. I love coming here for the atmosphere. They have reasonable prices and consistency. The waitresses are really nice and always treat you so well. Best salvi place I’ve tried in a really long time. Hidden gem in Inglewood and so close to the sofi statdium.“

“This is the place where they filmed the famous dining scene in Pulp Fiction. I would definitely stop by & take some pictures. Unfortunately their air condition is broken in perpetuity so you can’t sit & eat. But don’t let that stop you from ordering pick up or to go. Their Salvadoran 3$ Tamales are Delicious. & so are their Papusas, don’t take my word for it. The constant coming & going by members of the community tells me it’s as authentic as can be. & they have great deals on them. Customer service is super hospitable, friendly & welcoming.“

“yummy Salvadorian food and royallific service 😊😋“

“Food is so good ? I haven't had a pupusa this good in a long long time. Ingredients are fresh and the Service was great. Parking is limited but I notice there is a lot of uber orders coming in when I was there.

Vegetarian options: Bean pupusas“

“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.“

“Amazing tamales! Definitely ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Best seafood I’ve had in years!“

“This place has it all! Pupusas are solid, free parking, environment is amazing. They even have a sign pointing to San Salvador.

I’m grew up in a Salvadoran house and look for authentic food in LA. This place by far is one of my favorite spots.

Must try!“

“Love the Place, Will join again“

“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!“

“Every single plate I had is been delicious 😋“

“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 💯“

“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 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 ?“

“Ven y disfruta con toda tu familia de una auténtica comida salvadoreña“

“The Pupusas were delicious not greasy at all. They taste freshly made. The horchata was also very good. I was impressed, andI don't mind waiting when i know that the food is freshly made! I would come back if we find ourselves in that area again. The service was also good.“

“Food is absolutely delicious. They have a variety of food selections to choose from. Guatemalan, El Salvadoran and Mexican fusion choices. The staff and cooks are very kind, informative and welcoming. Definitely coming back and recommending.“

“Taqueria y Restaurant Los Amigos is a great local spot that offers authentic, homemade-style Mexican and Latin American food. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, with a comfortable neighborhood feel that makes you want to come back. The food was fresh, flavorful, and clearly prepared with care, with generous portions and satisfying taste in every dish. The staff was friendly, attentive, and efficient, creating a smooth and pleasant dining experience. I especially enjoyed the variety on the menu and the overall value for the price. It’s the kind of place that feels genuine and reliable for a good, hearty meal. I would definitely recommend Taqueria y Restaurant Los Amigos and will gladly return again.“

“I've never been here before. I went here with my brother. We had sandwiches and dessert from The pastry area. Everything was delicious. The price was reasonable. The place was clean. The bathroom was clean. There is a very cute little history area in the back of the restaurant. All in all it was a five star experience.“

“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.“

“Great quality food. We love how it elevates Salvadorean cuisine to next level. 🤤🤤🤤“

“Best pupusas we have had in some time. They are big, delicious and affordable! Drinks were good too. Great customer service. We even ordered extras to go! If you want some delicious pupusas this is definentely the spot! Thanks L.A.Pupusa House! The photo does not do it justice this was already after we started ;)“

“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“

“Ricos tacos de costillitas llevo 16 años comiendo 5 estrellas 🤩“

“AMAZING pupusas, they’re even great reheating them the next day. And such lovely ladies working at this stand! Always a fun and lighthearted vibe, definitely worth checking out! There can be a small wait since they’re so popular, but you can call ahead to order if you’re in a rush.“

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

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

“muy excelente servicio, el lugar es agradable la comida no se diga en especial la sopa de gallina india, pero para los k hallan tenido la oportunidad de ir tendran su platillo preferido, 100% recomendable.“

“ES EL ÚNICO RESTAURANT SALVADOREÑO QUE DE VERDAD COCINAN AUTENTICA COMIDA SALVADOREÑA. EL SERVICIO Y LA ATENCIONES SON EL MEJOR. NO LO CAMBIÓ POR NINGUN OTRO.“

“Un Lugar Para Pasarlo De Lo Mejor Con Amigos Y Tomar La Copa!! Buena Musica y Karaoke🎇🎇🙂!!“

“todos sus platos son exquisitos lo único que no me gustó es ver que la señora como le gritó a sus trabajadoras deberían de tener más cuidado en eso por que es feo ir a comer y ver como les gritan“

“Delicious food and good service“

“One of the best kept secrets in Town! Best Pupusas in the area! My favorite has to be the Loroco Pupusas.“

“Muy buena servicio y muy rica la comida ! Pronto regresamos 👍🏼“

“If you are craving authentic, comforting, and deeply flavorful Salvadoran cuisine, Puerto de Acajutla Restaurant is an absolute must-visit gem! I had a wonderful dining experience here. The standout feature is definitely their pupusas—they are made fresh to order, served piping hot, and have the perfect balance of a crispy exterior and a savory, rich filling. The curtido and salsa on the side are fresh and complement the meal beautifully. They also offer fantastic seafood dishes and traditional plates that showcase the true culinary heritage of El Salvador. The atmosphere is warm, casual, and incredibly welcoming, making you feel right at home the moment you walk through the door. The service is friendly, attentive, and efficient. A top-tier spot for a satisfying, high-quality meal. I highly recommend checking it out“

“Just one detail that I want you to be able to correct is the tanning that you can grind the marjoram a little because it has some very long twigs and one of those sticks got stuck in my throat and I couldn't get it out until with the help I took it out with some tweezers. I hope you pay attention to this detail.“

“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“

“Perfect Salvadoran experience. If you have gone to Salvadoran restaurants, you know most are modest in the way they look inside, and this is no exception. Several small to medium tables in a single room. Most of the food is prepared when you order it so be prepared for a little wait. We had pupusas and an order of yuca con chicharrón. The revuelta and queso con loroco were perfect as well as the curtido and salsa de tomate. Two pupusas and I was stuffed!

Now, they do offer filling combinations that I had never seen anywhere else (I've been eating pupusas for over 50 years). I decided to try the shrimp pupusa. A couple of bites and I knew that was a mistake and I would never be ordering that again. It's just not a taste I expect in a pupusa, and nothing improved it. This is NOT a deal breaker of going to eat there. Just know that if you select from this extended menu, these are not typical of true Salvadoran pupusas.

No alcohol/alcoholic beverages served. So if you want a beer, get the food as takeout.

This is a definite must try if you are in the area.“

“Everything is so amazing about this place, im being looking for the right salvadorean restaurant for more then a year when I work in Los Angeles and I was always very disappointed with the food..... Noe and his wife welcome us and make us feel like at home, and the food was spectacular for a very fare price. Eve my Co worker from Ecuador was so pleased with this salvadoran restaurant. Thank you for this place.

Sincerely
Angel“
