Salvadoran Restaurants in Los Angeles, CA

“Best seafood I’ve had in years!“

“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 ?“

“Love the Place, Will join again“

“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.“

“Every single plate I had is been delicious 😋“

“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.“

“Amazing tamales! Definitely ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

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

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

“Food is absolutely delicious. They have a variety of food selections to choose from. Guatemalan, El Salvadoran and Mexican fusion choices. The staff and cooks are very kind, informative and welcoming. Definitely coming back and recommending.“

“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 ;)“

“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.“

“AMAZING pupusas, they’re even great reheating them the next day. And such lovely ladies working at this stand! Always a fun and lighthearted vibe, definitely worth checking out! There can be a small wait since they’re so popular, but you can call ahead to order if you’re in a rush.“

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

“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 💯“

“Not a single bad thing to say. Was visiting from east coast and had breakfast there twice. Carlos, Maria and Darwin are kind and welcoming. The food speaks for itself. The breakfast burritos, aguas frescas and home made pastries were 10/10. Highly recommended and will definitely come back if whenever in LA :)“

“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“

“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.“

“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...“

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

“First time trying this place.. parking is a bit hard to find but shouldn't detour you.. I ordered 3 cheese pupusas n ensalda drink.. lady at counter was very nice n we chatted a bit.. the pupusas were really good.. will definitely be vack“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

“I can say that this place has great Pupusas. I’ve liked most of the dishes. I’ve eaten here. They’re flavorful and there is no lack of salt for sure however, on many occasions, especially the weekend sometimes they put music on or a little band is playing, but it is obnoxiously loud I can’t stand being there and I love music. I can’t even have a conversation, but I guess if that’s your thing, this is why I never sit down and eat there there’s no in between like where there’s some nice music and you can sit and talk. It’s like you’re at the club, but nobody’s dancing.“

“A nice and quiet place, good food, a little more atmosphere, music, yes, but you can go to eat a Salvadoran meal with a Salvadoran woman and have a quiet time having a good time. The food and the service are important, and also many thanks to the cook because she cooks very well. well thanks for everything we will be back ?“

“Best pupusas ever!! I love the mix pupusas, everything they do is amazing excellent flavor authentic Salvadorian food and the employees , very nice and humble . I live in Riverside and have no pro lem driving to pick up my pupusas. Overall they are the BEST.“

“Very good food and services“
