“Traditional Salvadorean Cuisine in the SFV✨

Our first time trying Salvadorean food at this family owned restaurant in Reseda.

Carlos gave us some great recommendations so we ended up trying pupusas for the first time. It’s made with a homemade corn dough. It’s thicker than a regular corn tortilla and stuffed with ground pork and cheese. They have a variety of fillings. You can add salsa roja, a flavorful tomato-based sauce or habanero sauce. Served with Curtido, a tangy, fermented cabbage slaw. So crispy, cheesy and filling. It came burning hot - I could barely hold it. 😂 But, I would definitely order this again! ☺️

We tried Desayuno Típico, a traditional Salvadoran breakfast, which came with casamiento (beans and rice mixed together), Salvadorean style chorizo, fried plantains, 2 eggs, avocado, fresh cheese and Salvadorean style sour cream and homemade corn tortillas.

“I could tell by the hole in the wall look and counter stocked with various Salvadorian products from snacks to baby lotion that this was going to be a good spot. Everything is fresh and made to order (including the oj!), the portions are generous, and the prices are great. The service was quick and friendly. I will certainly be back!!!

“Very good service. Love your food dishes with the correct temperature and presentation. quality ..apart from helpful attention ..only on some occasions I find some that serve as bad for getting out of the commitment ..I would ask that they maintain the temperament of kindness regardless of their personal problems or some problem with kitchen to serve ..nothing more than that ..but in general I give 8.5“

“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“

“Authentic Salvadoran pupusas!

El Jocoreño is a little piece of Latin America in Los Angeles! Right now basic pupusas are $3.50 which is a great price for a sit down restaurant and the pupusas are amazing.

The restaurant is humble but it’s not a hole in the wall. The atmosphere is very warm and welcoming. People say “Good Afternoon” as they pass bye quite often. Locals come here and they have loyal customers. It’s a little piece of El Salvador! I love the atmosphere and listening to the cumbias in the kitchen!

This is my favorite pupusa restaurant and I’ve been to other good sit down pupusa places!

I had two pupusas revueltas with beans. They have chicharron and cheese as well. I also had a special Lent pupusa made of rice flour and shrimp. All pupusas here are not greasy, they’re thick and packed with flavor! Very important because many places sell greasy pupusas. I also had a delicious cup of tamarind water! One of my favorite drinks is Salvadoran horchata which is different than Mexican horchata. I like their version better. Try it. It’s amazing!

The service here is so good! The lady that attends you is a sweet woman with great manners and very efficient.

I believe they are cash only still.

Meter parking outside. They have a small lot behind the restaurant!“

“-Todo delicioso. guacamole con chapulines, tasajo de carne y el mole negro, todo exquisito. Recomendado El Sabor de mi Tierra.! 👍😃💯♥️“

“The pupusas were delicious. They were the perfect thickness; there was plenty of filing, and the masa was not too thick. Cooked to perfection, they were not greasy at all. We enjoyed a nice selection of the different types offered. Our party included a Salvadoran who knows his pupusas. We also ordered a plate of rice, beans, and fried plantains. They were wonderful. We definitely will be going back. The staff were courteous and very helpful. Everything was clean and tidy inside of the restaurant.“

“Me gusta mucho el ambiente familiar y su karaoke me divirto mucho cada vez que vamos mis amigas y yo“

“The pupusas are delicious and the soups are delicious, woooow all the dishes are delicious OMG the bread with chicken are super delicious I am delighted with this restaurant EAT SOON ? I recommend this place 100% the waitresses are very friendly and the cooks also treat you super well with respect, I am delighted with this place ???“

“Muy rica las pupusas y la mariscada“

“Absolutely love this place! The food is super fresh and tastes homemade. I can tell they really care about quality. Their breakfast burritos are delicious and super satisfying. I also love their fresh juices. So refreshing and the perfect complement to any meal. Great service and a cozy, welcoming vibe. Highly recommend!“

“Best pupusas in Arleta, I recommend the gallina asada soup (delicious), sopa de res and the sopa de pata. Also the mojarra frita if you want to eat well and have real nutrients come here. It's a nice place to eat there as well they have a nice patio in front of the road where you can relax. 🫡 Estelitas Forever!“

“Parking is horrible. Not their fault. Their sweet bread is delicious. A lot of talking between the employees it's hard to hear when they are asking you a question. The bakery itself is very small. I haven't tried their food but the sweet bread is good.“

“Been here many times over the years and every time the service is topnotch, food is phenomenal and i always want more. I wish i can have some right now. A must stop for me

Vegetarian options: Several vegetarian options, beans and rice and cheese pupusas are well balanced source id vegetable proteins

Kid-friendliness: Family operation, kids welcomed“

“This place needs to get its recognition because the vibes here are spectacular and the pupusas are really good. It’s very clean I like the theme of the restaurant and on top of that it has a really nice bar with big tvs and variety of drinks. The only thing I’ve tried are the pupusas de revueltas and they’re and the horchata. It is really good. I highly recommend.“

“toda la comida y las pupusas están deliciosas mñn también los frescos están buenisimos son naturales☺😍😘😘“

I will not admitted but am getting addicted to this food.........?? this is a recomendable place to go !!!“

“A nice and quiet place, good food, a little more atmosphere, music, yes, but you can go to eat a Salvadoran meal with a Salvadoran woman and have a quiet time having a good time. The food and the service are important, and also many thanks to the cook because she cooks very well. well thanks for everything we will be back ?“

“Delicious hot food, refreshing drinks, and fresh papusas. Friendly, fast service. Some entres tend to be very light on salt. A request I have for this place is to please place bilingual signage in front of each food item for easy identification and ordering. Although, they do have a menu on the wall, it's difficult to read for some. Other than that, food is fresh, hot, and delicious!“

“Don't come here and expect valet parking. Park in the rear.Don't come here and expect a concierge. Walk to the front and open the door.Don't come here and expect a waitress. Announce yourself and sit down.Don't come here and expect some fancy restaurant. Appreciate the humble ambiance.Don't come here and expect the food to come in the blink of eye. Do bring a friend and converse while the food is prepared.Don't come here expecting to use your overpriced phone or plastic to pay for the meal. Bring some cold hard cash.Come here to enjoy some of the best food you will ever have. The dish soup is just amazing. The beans just perfect“

“Best hidden gem for Salvadorean food. Prices are extremely reasonable and they arguably have the best soups in LA: sopa de res, sopa de pollo and 7 mares. Pupusas are very delicious and made very well. Food comes out a bit slow but that's how you know they make it fresh.“

“This place is definitely a hole in the wall. It’s nothing fancy. But for those who know, it seriously looks just like grandmas kitchen and has that at home feeling to it. The service is desperately terrible but none of any of that matters because the food is ridiculously amazing! If you enjoy Salvadoran cuisine, you can catch someone’s grandma in the kitchen making pupusas and they taste insanely authentic and possibly the best I have ever had hands down. I can wolf down 4 “Revueltas” or “Queso con Loroco” with cheese oozing out of the sides and burnt crispy in a bliss of goodness. The sauce and cabbage that goes on top is incredible. This place is as home made Salvadoran as you might ever get without traveling to the suburbs of San Salvador and sitting at someone’s grandmas kitchen table. This is a must stop for anyone craving a good pupusa!“

“(Translated by Google) I just love it !!!!! all the Central American snacks!!! Please visit them ??(Original)Simplemente me encanta !!!!! todos los antojitos centroamericanos !!!, son muy deliciosos?., también hay mucho productos importados de El Salvador y Guatemala… y amo a todo el staff ellos son muy amables y atentos …. Por favor visítalos ??“

“We have been coming here for many years . It’s our whole family favorite Central American Restaurant . The owner is the cook as well and her cooking is amazing . We considered her family. Really sweet and down to earth. The best place ever don’t eat the food from the streets when you can get wonderful food and service in this restaurant. Delicioso la mejor de la mejor . ??“

“Oh, foods that I missed eating from my country and here I find them, even their seasoning is the same as mine, how funny he is, Salvador, it's good that here they haven't lost the reason for cooking, it's knowing that he doesn't just cook for a client, yes. not for someone in the family.“

“My first time ordering was over the phone, waited about 20 minutes and they were right about on time. Most restaurants take your order and forget the time. As for the Carne asada burrito and the Bean and cheese Pupusas were delicious. I will definitely be going back. Staff was nice.“

“I ordered the brother breakfast with eggs rancheros and a chocolate. It was delicious. Last time I ordered rice pupusas. Everything was great. Only the music would change to something more relaxing. But the rest is fine, the service is very good“
