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 ..“

“This place is amazing, the food is delicious, and the portions are so big that you can honestly share a plate. I cannot emphasize how delicious the food is. The meat is tender and juicy, the salvadoran plate felt authentic, it had that taste that is so missing here in US. Even the Peruvian plate was delicious and better than Inka Mama's. I would definitely recommend eating here.“

“Amazing tamales! Definitely ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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 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.“

“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.“

“great food. great service. I recommend this restaurant“

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

“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.“

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

“This place is much better than Comalapa across the street. The staff is friendly and their flavors are 10/10. Their pupusas are gigantic. I got the breakfast eggs with beans, plantains, tortillas, cheese, and sour cream, and their portions and flavor are the best. The beans were bomb. 100% recommended“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Very traditional Salvadorean food. Staff is nice and friendly. Like their Sopa de Gallina, Pupusas ans their refried beans are to die for. They offer hand made Salvadorean tortillas. Place is loud, hard to have a conversation at the table but their food is great!“

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

“If you are craving authentic, comforting, and deeply flavorful Salvadoran cuisine, Puerto de Acajutla Restaurant is an absolute must-visit gem! I had a wonderful dining experience here. The standout feature is definitely their pupusas—they are made fresh to order, served piping hot, and have the perfect balance of a crispy exterior and a savory, rich filling. The curtido and salsa on the side are fresh and complement the meal beautifully. They also offer fantastic seafood dishes and traditional plates that showcase the true culinary heritage of El Salvador. The atmosphere is warm, casual, and incredibly welcoming, making you feel right at home the moment you walk through the door. The service is friendly, attentive, and efficient. A top-tier spot for a satisfying, high-quality meal. I highly recommend checking it out“

Sauces and curtido very good!!!!. Very clean restaurant and very friendly staff. Thank you“

“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!“

“Buena la comida 🥘 y barato“

“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“

“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.“

Salvadoran.“

“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!“

“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“
