El Chapín is hands down the best spot for authentic Central American food in Lake Elsinore! The pupusas were perfectly made—crispy on the outside, cheesy, and flavorful on the inside. The Guatemalan tamalito was incredibly soft, moist, and packed with delicious flavor. Everything tasted fresh and homemade, just like you’d get in El Salvador and Guatemala. The service was friendly, and the atmosphere was welcoming. If you're craving authentic pupusas and Guatemalan tamalitos, this is the place to go! Highly recommend!

This Place to Eat sits in the back of the market, they specialize in Guatemalan Food, what a surprise all was good, I recommended you do not come very hungry, it takes a while to get your food, most has to be made to order, the pupusas are out of this worls, the Guatemala Tamales are hot and tasty, come once or every day!

I brought a group of 15 people for dinner and the amazing crew in the truck off Fillmore and Hancock took all the orders and filled them in 30 minutes! It was so fast and so good! I know several people, myself included, will be back for more! Gracias!!
