Salvadoran Restaurants near Orange, CA

“Personally enjoyed the food. Would order ahead of you're in time crunch as the food is made to order. Thankfully I have an hour lunch so I didn't mind 30 minute wait. They are very generous with the curtido and great customer service“

“Recomiendo rio Restaurante por la comida muy orijinal benga buen servício“

“Little hole in the wall... sooo good. We already had our go-to Salvadorean restaurant buuuuut this place now has us questioning ourselves haha. The customer service is top notch, very friendly and attentive staff. The pupusas, although seemed a little pricier than our regular place, almost $5 a pupusa (Rice dough is the way to go) after receiving them, the price is more than reasonable. The pupusas are huge and extremely well stuffed. We ordered Revuelta con Jalapeño ( beans, pork, cheese and jalapeno) and an order of Plátano Frito. The plate for Plátano Frito had sooooo many fried plantains, it was a pleasant surprise, most places only put like 6 pieces for $10, but not here, this one was packed! We definitely cannot wait to go back and introduce the rest of our family and friends to this hidden gem. Be sure to check them out, you won't be disappointed.“

“We stayed next door at the Great Wolf Lodge and were looking for dinner that wouldn't cost us an arm and a leg. We found this Pupuseria next door and decided to give it a try. I must say that we enjoyed the pupusas very much. They were delicious. The pricing was good and the size is that of your average pupusa. Our server was really nice and helped answer any questions that we had. He came constantly to see if we needed or wanted to order anything else. We actually did order a few more pupusas and a macho banana with condensed milk (which was delicious). I would definitely come back to eat here if I was in the area, or when we come back to the hotel next door. If you are staying at the GWL, just walk over, it's next door. No need to move your car from the crazy parking structure.“

“El caldo de ayer,me encanto.ese lugat me gusta.porque la comida esta sabrosa.y lo mas importante de un restaurante para mi.es el baño,felicidades estan muy limpios,.les recomiendo este lugar!!“

“Amazing gem!!! We ordered pupusas, tacos, bean and cheese burrito and taquitos and all were authentic and delicious. The homemade tortillas made it!! The kids loved it and portions are filling. Definetly found a new local favorite, and right down the street.“

“Don’t let the exterior deter you from some good pupusas. We liked the balance between the masa and cheese. Other places give you a ton of masa and little to no contents. This is not the case here. Good flavor, good ingredients, good curtido and their red salsa was nice and spicy. Look forward to trying others. They had cheese, bean, been and cheese, squash/calabasitas and cheese, chicharrón, and revueltas. We had cheese and a revuelta.“

“If you are looking for a good beef broth, come to this restaurant, it is small, clean and has very good food. It is almost always full so the service is always a little slow because they have to attend to tables, orders, customers, etc. I highly recommend the beef soup (beef broth), the dish is perfect and they add a lot of meat more than vegetables. It is advisable to go early as it takes a while to serve the food.“

“todo esta delicioso.... la comida 100% salvadoreña“

“We've always preferred the pupusas revueltas, they are really good. But, they need to get rid of an older short lady or not have her deal with customers she's really rude with no customer service, hence the 2 star service. Because of her we always order to go.

We have always preferred the scrambled pupusas, they are very good. But, they need to get rid of a short older lady or she doesn't deal with customers, she is really rude and has no customer service, hence the 2 star service. That's why we always order takeout.“

“The work environment and the service are incredible... the girls are incredibly friendly and attentive. I love this place. And even though I have closer Salvadoran food restaurants, I prefer this one to a thousand... Yohana is incredibly friendly“

“This place is like a taco truck a lit bit greasy but dang mommy knows her papusas. We met Nathan and he told us his mom went to church with a lot of Salvadoran ladies and learned from them. Got to love those church ladies they do make the best food!! My friend n i ordered the chorizo papusas and some carne asada n carnitas tacos. The papusas were excellent. My friend is Latino so to hear him tell me that the papusa was one of the best he ever had is saying a lot. The tortilas for our tacos were also homemade same with my horchata. The food here is yummy. As im writing this im kicking myself for not ordering a bunch of papusas to take home for the freezer. Nathan please tell your mommy thank you! Wish i lived closer i would be a regular.“

“If you’re looking for real authentic Mexican food here is the hole in the wall. Delicious Popusas. The birria Tacos with Hand Made tortillas hits the spot! Blessed to have places like this open and sharing our culture foods to others. Come try this place!“

“The food was spectacular, the customer service, worthy of a manager with humility to accept that there are times we make mistakes, a beautiful attitude on your part, Mrs. Lupita..and dish no.1 from El Salvador "las pupusas" no.1 from Mexico "asada burrito" simply, exquisite!! The mixture of its ingredients has a very homemade touch.“

“The food was DELICIOUS! But make sure to order online and PAY online, if you order online and pay at the store it is even more expensive, like one dollar extra per item. The store only has one entrance and the way the seating is set up, it is crowded. Other than that, super friendly people and did I mention the food was DELICIOUS.“

“Muy buena la comida 🥘 todo muy rico“
