Delicious food, made to order. That means it's gonna take a while, especially if there's a crowd. If you want to carry out I recommend you call your order in ahead of time.
If you want to dine in, they close the dining room an hour before their started closing time. So if they close at 6, last seating is at 5, if that. Them's the rules, but the food is worth it. I can't say I've explored the menu beyond their pupusas but what I've had has never disappointed.

Los Molcajetes is a great spot when you want authentic Salvadoran food with real flavor and a welcoming neighborhood feel. The food tastes fresh, the portions are satisfying, and you can tell there is care behind what comes out of the kitchen. The pupusas are definitely a highlight, especially the revueltas, which have great flavor and feel like the kind of food you come back for. Service is friendly and straightforward, and the overall experience feels comfortable and relaxed....read full review
I disliked that they aren't service-animal friendly. Even if your dining outside, which I find ridiculous and discriminating. I only eat here when I have someone else to place the orders since I'm practically not welcomed here.

Los Molcajetes is a must-visit restaurant in East L A for authentic Salvadoran flavors, especially their delicious pupusas. The pupusas are real juicy and have been praised as some of the best in town. Despite the wait, which can be around 20-45 minutes depending on the time of day, the food is worth it. The great mix pupusa and burger combo remains a favorite among diners. The location is great, with limited seating and a packed atmosphere, but the lovely personalities and home-cooked meals make up for it. Vegetarian options like bean and cheese pupusas are available, and parking is convenient. While the curtido and sauce may be lacking, the overall experience at Los Molcajetes is enjoyable and tasty. The attentive and friendly staff contribute to a pleasant meal, ensuring that diners will want to return.
