Salvadoran Restaurants near Lynwood, CA

“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.“

“My new fave obsession: Mangonadas from Espiguita De Oro! Sooo good and so unique. I admit I was slightly intimidated to go in because I don’t speak/read Spanish & worried I would know what was what. But the staff answered all my questions—super friendly. I also ordered a Philly cheesesteak empanada & a bbq pulled pork empanada. They were HUGE & delicious. But I’m telling you, you’ve got to try a mangonada!“

“comida fresca como hecha en casas del Salvador..“

“Incredible hand made pupusas! And friendly people. Try the locas, they were my favorite. Also, they had horchata de morro when I visited, it's a different thing ... Try it if you haven't, it's delicious!

Vegetarian options: Spinach pupusas were really good, a vegetarian in my group loved them.“

“The best Popusas in town always fresh and Delicious ..i always completely soak mine in the sauce and curtido i think thats what its called not sure .. anyhow i dined in for first time only down side was its was really hot inside and needs a bit of a face life a lil too busy with clutter would be great to see it revanped a bit ..“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely delicious and authentic!
We stopped by Mi Pueblo Salvadorian Restaurant and it instantly became one of my new favorite spots. The pupusas were hands down the best I’ve ever had. Perfectly cooked, cheesy, and full of flavor. Everything tasted fresh and homemade, and you can tell they take real pride in their food.

Our waitress, Rosie, was wonderful and friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. The restaurant has such a cozy, welcoming vibe that makes you want to stay and try everything on the menu.

If you’re looking for authentic Salvadorian food and great service, this is the place. We’ll definitely be back for more pupusas soon!“

“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 ?“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“It was my first time getting food from here.so the food was so delicious I got my self a caldo de pollo just eating the chicken by itself got really full and pupusas here a huge like 1 or 2 you will get full (depending on how much do eat lol) the restaurant look super clean and the person who took my order was super friendly and kind“

“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.“

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

“The chipillin tamales w beans were warm n soft n the pupusa was cheesy n brownly crisped so nicely. I could feel the luv in the food u kno . The guy at the register described diff dishes on the menu w sm care n brought out salsa n 2 types of hot sauce w the cabbage :9 also the Salvadoran horchata was so good, it’s nuttier n earthier n less sweet . All for $13 . Felt like a warm hug :~)“

“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.“

“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“

“I have been eating at this restaurant for more than one year. Their food has a great taste, and the service is excellent and friendly. All the plates look like they were cooked with love and care, compared to other Salvadoran restaurants I have visited in these areas, where they serve food to make money regardless of whether the dish is well cooked or not. Excellent restaurant!“

“The taste was authentic....the wait wasn't too long and the price is decent for the size!!!! It's so hard to find good spots like this, but its Soo worth it!!!! We first went last night and went back this morning!!! Definitely want to stop by more often...“

“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“

“If you plan on wanting to eat at home, definitely order ahead..Wait for Pupusas is usually about 20 minutes. The people there are very nice, they have reasonable prices, and I feel like they are consistent with the quality of their food( at least for the last 5 years that I've been going).. my go tos are usually Pupusas de queso con jalapeño and bean and cheese, oh and the loroco ones. Plus an order of yucca frita with chicharron.“

“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 ?“

“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“

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

“Buena la comida 🥘 y barato“

“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.“
