Salvadoran Restaurants near Pasadena, CA

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

“One of my favorite restaurants in LA. Tamales can't be beat; A+ pupusas huaraches, sopes, tortas. All the huevos dishes are delicious. Add in 5 choices of agua fresca and you have a bounty of superb options. On top of all that the people that work here are some of the sweetest you'll ever meet in this industry“

“Great food and welcoming staff.“

“Went here with family who had varying dietary needs, and this restaurant was able to accommodate all of them. Also, these were the best chilaquiles I've ever had!! The sauce was amazing. The service was excellent and I felt the staff really took care of us. We will be coming back.“

“very good food good service“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“Every single plate I had is been delicious 😋“

“Amazing tamales! Definitely ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

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

“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“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“Las Pupusas revueltas y de chicharrón y queso con Orozco y el salpicón está el Super deliciosos 💯🇸🇻♥️“

“If you haven’t had a Papusa from here, you’re missing out! The sweetest staff! And the food and Sweet drink were amazing!“

“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.“

“buen ambiente y muy buena la conida“

“La mariscada y Plato Mixto“

“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.“

“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.“

“Outside seating ambiance was amazing“

“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.“

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

“Vegetarian options: You can get pupsas, empanadas, and platanos fritos. Pupsas have veggie options and if you've never had a Salvadorean empanada before, it's like a savory hot pocket of deliciousness. Cash only and easy on the wallet!

Kid-friendliness: It's a food stand outside, and by the gas station so easy to pick up on your way home.

Wheelchair accessibility: It's an outdoor food stand, so the sidewalk is accessible.“

“Finally had Munedo😂it was ok flavor, and there was not too much content. But the tortilla is fire 🔥 it’s the best tortilla!! There was only 2 in the Munedo dish, so I asked if I could add more😂
The restaurant dish wait time was long too. But overall it’s still good.“

“Me encantaron bueno a mi familia les gusto las de chicharrón revueltas loroco y queso muy deliciosas el curtido muy rico 😋 la salcita picosita muy ricas se las recomiendo y me las vinieron a dejar a mi casa 👍🏼 a la hora que acordamos calientitas solo para comerlas“

“AUTHENTIC SALVADORIAN ! Pupusas are REAL HERE! The best you can get in the city of LA ! Let’s not get started with Drinks /aguas frescas ! Horchata is a must but the agua de ensalada was to die for. Service was nice but pupusas are out of this world!“

“(Translated by Google) It is a very special Rst very good service nice waitresses and a. Good special food menu good attention(Original)Esun Rst muy especial muy buen servicio lindas meseras y un. Buen menu especial de comida buena atención“

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

“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.“

“There is this spot near our warehouse ....I have got lunch a few times on this place....prices are good food is good but their pupusas are really good and at a good size ....two pupusas will make a full lunch.....did I mention the price was good....just $4 each“

“Food is really good I come here maybe once a month but they do take a long time and tend to not have food done in time if you call in so keep note of that. I called in they said 20 minutes I went in after about 25 and still waiting another 20 minutes inside restaurant. 45 min for a said “20 minute” wait is not the same.“
