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.“

“My friends and I came to place because they are known for their pupusas to celebrate one of their birthday. So they ordered the different pupusas and I got the ribeye with shrimp for my food. They loved the pupusas and it's a big portion. The ribeye steak and shrimp was delicious especially the pico de gallo that came with it. The customer service was amazing and there a private lot in the back for parking.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 ;)“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“The plate that I order was "mar y tierra" I was completely satisfied with the amount of food. the plates include : chicken, stake, beans, rice, salad, asparagus and shrimp with vegetables on top a souce. The food was well cooked also the quality of service was excellent. I recommend this plate“

“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.“

“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.“
