Salvadoran Restaurants in Los Angeles, CA

“This restaurant is like a pearl in a clam in HP neighborhood. They serve delicious Salvadoran food. The restaurant can sit about five tables. It's clean and well lighted. There are two colorful wall paintings depicting life of Salvadorans. The cashier has a cheerful voice which enlightens your day. She's very friendly and knowledgeable.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Best seafood I’ve had in years!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Every single plate I had is been delicious 😋“

“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 ;)“

“Amazing tamales! Definitely ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Salsabor Restaurant is a true hidden gem! The food is bursting with authentic Latin flavor — everything tastes homemade and fresh. I tried the carne guisada and empanadas, and they were absolutely delicious. The staff were friendly, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Perfect spot for a flavorful meal that feels like home!“

“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.“

“I came here with my friend for pupusas, and they made them fresh. The whole restaurant is El Salvadorian themed and the owner is very nice! I am vegetarian and I got the bean and cheese pupusa, and my friend got the chicken and beef ones. They both were delicious!“

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

“Great food and friendly service the pupusas are the bomb 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽“

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

“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“

“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.“

“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“

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

“The food was great, the pupusas were big and fresh. The plantains were a bit greasy but they tasted really good. The place could do a little more dining in friendly and work on a better air system so its not too hot inside but other than that the service was good, the food was even better.“

“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!“

“I'm not Salvadorian, but I love Salvadorian foods. This restaurant makes me even more of a pupusa-lover. Since I don't know Spanish, the Google translator helps me to communicate with the employees. But I even love it. Definitely, more often I will come back to order my dinner from this restaurant!

Wheelchair accessibility: Park rear with handicap placard, and there is wheelchair accessible entrance.“

“My family and I been going to this place for seventeen years now. We don't mind the 1 hour drive, food is really good , delicious and staff is on point. Food taste like homemade food, the kitchen ladies love what they do. Thank you everyone at EL MAJAHUAL“

“toda la comida y las pupusas están deliciosas mñn también los frescos están buenisimos son naturales☺😍😘😘“

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

“While this small place might just be in a car wash, do not overlook this hiddengem when looking for pupusas. We have been coming here for years and the flavors are perfect. The pupusas are big, yet full of flavor and made fresh. This also means the wait times might be longer so if you do have larger orders, I recomend calling in ahead. They also have other food dishes such as soups,tacos and even tamals. This is a must try place for fans of food in general and especially salvadorean food. The prices are also very reasonable for the amount of high quality food you get.“

“La mariscada y Plato Mixto“

“So yummy!My parents are Guatemalan and used to take me to a lot of central American restaurants growing up. So glad I came across this restaurant. I ordered the Salvadorean breakfast and it reminded me of what I grew up eating at home. So worth it!P.s. they only take cash!“

“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!“

“We met with friends at this restaurant for dinner. my friend recommended this restaurant. Well, it was very successful. The crew welcomed us with a smile and we had a fantastic feeling. The meal was delicious. We enjoyed every moment and we will visit this place again. Recommended.“

“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“

“100% go with these guys. They were not only the most economical, but they were SOOO GOOOOOD and a hit with all our guests. I still have people texting me how good the pupusas were. And the agua fresca was so good. Will definitely use them again“

“Menchita's was such a sweet surprise the food felt like it was made with love seriously every bite was packed with flavor I had the empanadas and wow they were crispy outside and so juicy inside The place isn’t fancy but it has that homey vibe that makes you wanna stay longer Staff was super warm and welcoming like you’re part of the family Portions are generous prices are fair and the drinks were spot on Definitely coming back next time I’m in the area“

Salvadoran.“

“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“
