Salvadoran Restaurants near Montebello, CA

“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.“

“Pupusa Power! 😁 Wouldn't eat them from anywhere else! 😍“

“Súper buen servicio Buen ambiente“

“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 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.“

“Every single plate I had is been delicious 😋“

“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 ?“

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

“My husband and I just tried this place tonight and it’s so good! We ordered the revuelta, been and cheese, and plain cheese. They were all full of flavor. Would definitely come again.“

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

“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“

“Absolutely delicious! The pupusas were fresh, perfectly cooked, and packed with flavor. The curtido and salsa were the perfect complement, and the service was warm and welcoming. You can tell everything is made with care. I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend this place to anyone craving authentic, homemade pupusas!“

“Muy buena servicio y muy rica la comida ! Pronto regresamos 👍🏼“

“This place is a hidden gem! First time trying out their liver with sautéed onions with veggies and rice and let me tell you it was worth it, I also ordered their signature Salvadorean dish Chicarrón pupusas with red spicy tomato sauce and pickled cabbage curtido and they were one of the best combos I've ever had.“

“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.“

“First time here for breakfast. My wife and I ordered the Huevos Rancheros comes with 2 eggs, beans, sour cream, cheese, fried plantains and chorizo and 2 homemade tortillas. Let me tell you it was delicious. We’re definitely coming back for more. The service was amazing Yasin was our waitress very hospitable and very professional.“

“Excelente. Comida. Y. Buena. atención... además. muy. limpio“

“Excelente comida!!! Muy rico mi tapado gracias! También el aguas de maracuya me gusto mucho“

“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“

“Amazing, authentic pupusas!!!!“

“Well, first advice, bring cash because they charge for using a card the food is delicious, the prices are good, the customer service is good, 4 stars, very nice decoration, you have to order in front, ok, not at the tables, it's strange for my name, they wanted to serve me at the tables, I ordered in front and They charged me Hai himself then notice that the others were fine ?“

“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!“

“Had pupusas to go and they are amazing, had lots of cheeae and tasted to good wth the curtido amd tomato sauce mix in. The price and size of rbe pupusas are a good deal.. I highly recommend this place. First time tasting their pupusas and coming back.“

“This past Saturday, I went there. I ordered their guanabana water and it was delicious and refreshing. I have eaten there several times and I have never gotten sick. Their food is tasty. Be willing to spend $25.00 per person. Their waters are sold for $7.00 and are quite large. Dishes vary between $15.00 and $25.00. they prepare pupusas, guaraches, sopes, fresh, right out of the grill. And they have bathroom service, which is difficult to find in the Fashion District. You will not leave disappointed. 🍀“

“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“

“Friendly experience, great food, please go.“

“The food is good and decently priced.I like the fact that you can get Salvadorian dishes or Mexican.Since it's located in a lower-income area, the atmosphere is not even mid-tier.Don't let that discourage you.I enjoyed the chilaquiles with a side popusa.“

“la comida bien salada, pedi 4 pupusas y curtido me dieron como para una nomas la sopa de Pata bien fria y solo vegetales tenia no tenia Pata ni panza y la Horchata estaba agria y le dije a la mesera k me la cambiara me dijo k nose podia k mal servicio y todo Bien caro“

“Nice selection of tasty pupusas and their breakfast was on point!!!“

“I recommend this place they have nice service and the food is good I love to come hear with my family“

“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'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.“

“I have gone to the champas because I have to pick up the pupusas that my wife orders to take away. They make some plantains that wrap beans and they are tasty and the pupusas too, except that I suffer from acids and vinegar because it makes my stomach upset, since I had an appendix operation, but if you have a good and healthy stomach I recommend them but not excessively so that it doesn't hurt your stomach too.“

“Ok ....here we go.....!!! I been trying the best pupusas...here 👌
I highly recommend you the food here ...the sason 100% on point
Really authentic salvadorian food
Trust me
I been in a lot a different restaurants ...here is the difference 🤔
Check the best salvadorian food ...!!“

“yummy pupusas, spicy and briny curtido, and fresh juice, it’s hard to go wrong. while i waited for my order i saw multiple people coming in for the ice cream and someone sent remittances, and i thought to myself “wow, what a resource to the community.” truly an iconic establishment of cypress park.“

“The fact that everyone who rates the place less than a 5 star because of service and not food tells you everything you need to know. THE FOOD IS GOOD! Ive never had a problem with their service. They've always been polite and no nonsense. Ive eaten there ( small place) and also ordered it for take out. So , I recommend this place for their excellent, authentic food.“

“Just one detail that I want you to be able to correct is the tanning that you can grind the marjoram a little because it has some very long twigs and one of those sticks got stuck in my throat and I couldn't get it out until with the help I took it out with some tweezers. I hope you pay attention to this detail.“

“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.“

“Don’t let the city scare you, this is a very nice and clean restaurant.

The food is very good, they serve both Salvadoran and Mexican food. I have only tasted the Salvadoran food, pupusas, sopa de pata, traditional breakfast etc. the dining area is spacious and will accommodate a large family. If you want authentic tasting pupusas or Salvadoran food this would be the place to eat.

There is plenty of onsite parking for both the restaurant and the other business.“

“Came in while we wait for an oil change and was greeted with such hospitality. While it is a restaurant it feels like a home here. There was only one man here working but he did acknowledge us right away. I ordered the Pupusas and when he was preparing my order I can hear him preparing them in the back BY HAND, not pre made. Delicious and hot.“

“I absolutely love eating at Vicki’s Restaurant in South Gate! If you’re craving authentic Salvadoran food, this is the spot.

My go-to order is the pupusas revueltas — they’re always perfectly stuffed, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and served with fresh curtido and salsa that taste homemade. You can tell everything is made with care.

Their pastelitos de pollo are another favorite — flaky, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. And the pan con pollo? So good. The chicken is tender, well-seasoned, and the sandwich is stacked with fresh toppings that bring everything together.

The food tastes traditional and comforting, like something straight from a family kitchen. The portions are generous, and the flavors are always consistent.

Highly recommend if you’re in South Gate and want real Salvadoran comfort food!“
