“Order Three Cheese Popusas
Delicious!!!
But... The Curtido Not Fresh Is Fresh Because It Has Been Refrigerated For Days!!!!
The Sauce Is Still Not Fresh From Days And Without Taste....
It's been several times now that Boy they put the curtido and the sauce on me and I don't even try them...
But.. The Very Delicious Popusas“

“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 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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Best seafood I’ve had in years!“

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

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

“Has to be the best pupusa, I have ever had. So good! Got the cheese and bean combination. I think what it takes it to the next level is the green sauce. It is just a little spicy. The pupusas itself are soft and just delicious. The ladies were really nice! Definitely coming back“

“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 💯“

“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!“

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

“The pupusas here are absolutely delicious! They have a self serve station with curtido, salsa and jalapeños. The fried sweet plantains are also super delicious. Every time we eat here we are never disappointed. The staff is super friendly and accommodating. One time we put in a large order with just 2 hours notice and they were so helpful and delivered on time our guests loved the pupusas!“

“La mariscada y Plato Mixto“

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

“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“

“Las Pupusas revueltas y de chicharrón y queso con Orozco y el salpicón está el Super deliciosos 💯🇸🇻♥️“

“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“

“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.“

“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“

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

“Delicious food and good service“

“Small restaurant.When coming here I enjoy getting their pupusas for take out. Very rarely eat in.They mostly speak Spanish so for me there's a little bit of a language issue. I guess on a fundamental level they are good with customer service. For their patients mostly and for not rejecting me and/or some other negative experience.Would I go again? Yes for spontaneous urge for pupusas.Would I recommend? Yes, I Encourage at least a few visits. To draw own personal feel. Support small business that has great pupusas, plus potential good food.“

“I absolutely love eating at Vicki’s Restaurant in South Gate! If you’re craving authentic Salvadoran food, this is the spot.

My go-to order is the pupusas revueltas — they’re always perfectly stuffed, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and served with fresh curtido and salsa that taste homemade. You can tell everything is made with care.

Their pastelitos de pollo are another favorite — flaky, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. And the pan con pollo? So good. The chicken is tender, well-seasoned, and the sandwich is stacked with fresh toppings that bring everything together.

The food tastes traditional and comforting, like something straight from a family kitchen. The portions are generous, and the flavors are always consistent.

Highly recommend if you’re in South Gate and want real Salvadoran comfort food!“

“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.“

“las pupusas sopa de pata👍“

“What’s up my pupusa lovers I am making the review because this has some really really good pupusas and the customer service is amazing very polite Joanie is very nice and helpful and very professional has amazing customer service she should be employee of the month so if you are in the mood for Salvadoran for you should check the place out“

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

“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“

“good pupusas across from Nogales High“

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

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

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“

“My friend ask me to meet him there and I’m glad he did. I really love this restaurant. The food is great. Homestyle and delicious. It’s a family owned business with great, friendly service from genuine people. They treat you like your at home. The atmosphere is warm and cozy, and even though you’re right in LA, you don’t feel like it. In door out door seating hidden. Perfect spot with great people. My friend and I are there twice a week. And no I’m not related or getting paid for this review. I love this place.“

“This is 100% authentic Salvadoran food. Too many places around LA have a Salvi/Mex food mix and it changes the taste. We had Yuca grits con vhicharron which was absolutely the best I’ve had in a long time. The sopa de res was delicious and ofcourse had the pupusas which were great!!! My friend had Salpicon which is the first restaurant I’ve ever seen on the menu. Only had this homemade and was very legit. Staff was so nice and helpful!“

“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 ?“

“muy buena comida ,buena atencion .buen cervicio .me gusta“

“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.“

“Todo es delicioso y servicio amable“

“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

“Love their pupusas and all other tasty dishes. I love that I can buy both Salvadorian and Mexican combined!“

“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.“

“buen ambiente y muy buena la conida“

“Very delicious authentic comfort food. Large portions very delicious and friendly workers!! 5 out of 5 ⭐️“
