Spanish Restaurants near South Gate, CA

“buena atencion y excelente comida Peruana, le gustaron a mis amigas Mexicana y Puertoriquena“

“I had breakfast and my friend had lunch. I ordered a la carte a pancake, egg and bacon. The egg was not cooked the way I liked it (even after I was specific with my order) and by the time I was bought another I was over it. The bacon was made properly so it was good along with the pancake however, the syrup had a strange taste. Overall, I was displeased as my food was cold and we all know breakfast food is better nice and hot. My friend had the BLT and that was actually very good (I did taste it) so I recommend the it. Though he was nice, I could tell my server was overwhelmed as it was hard to get his attention when needed. Though it was decent, there are things that need to be improved. Also, this place isn't very big so make a reservation as walking in could possibly have you waiting a long time for a table or put you at the bar.“

“Best food in town and sports merchandise“

“The prawns were incredibly fresh, with absolutely no fishy smell. The sauce had the savory aroma of dried shrimp, with a hint of sour and spicy flavor, like a Spanish version of ceviche. A bite of shrimp followed by a bite of crispy potato created a wonderfully rich texture.“

“Ordered via phone , friendly lady ordered a dozen price is very reasonable the size is great!!! Not small the filling is great not stingy ! The flavor is there !!! Almost wanna say as good as my mom’s lol!! Very very very delicious!!! Will be buying here for ever!!!!!“

“Tortillas Riquísimas Se Las RECOMENDAMOS No Se ARREPENTIRAN...FAM..ROBLES“

“#1 Green salsa riquisimo very good and spicy
Enpanadas de camaron very good but I did expect some garnish or pico de gallo/lettuce on the side- presentation is a key too
I'll give a try again maybe fish taco or Tostada de Ceviche“

“A hidden gem in the heart of Koreatown, Xecul offers a warm, authentic taste of Guatemala! My sister and I have visited twice, and as non-Latina/os, we were blown away by the kindness and hospitality—especially from the sweet and welcoming waitstaff (Anna is a highlight!). Knowing some Spanish helps (high school level + Google Translate worked fine for me), since the staff seems to speak primarily Spanish. Nonetheless, if you're willing to make the effort with rudimentary Spanish, the patient and friendly waiting staff should treat you fine.

The cozy, colorful space feels like a true local favorite, buzzing with regulars (including even charming musicians on the weekend). Standouts include the rich and savory pepián chicken, tender and delicious carne asada, and incredibly refreshing iced juices. Prices are slightly high, but completely fair for the high quality. If you're craving something off the beaten path and full of heart and decliciousness, Xecul is absolutely worth the detour.“

“Customer service is great, the place is very cute. Churros were a tad over golden brown not too sugary, flan tastes not made from scratch like the instant flan bags but still okay, friend ordered milk shake and said it was fine. However it does seam a bit overpriced due to the amount they charged me I think the churros are about $1.50+ each approx. Place does not have prices on the menu board so you are pretty much estimating prices unless you continuously ask them for prices.“

“Excelente lugar 😇sus deliciosos menú 👌 😋 y las pupusas son de éxito 🙌 😋 muchas gracias 🇸🇻 un lugar muy salvadoreño muy encanta“

“All good but I went for some chicharron with cheese and what I disliked is that... 1-they have a lot of fat 2- they leave the pupusas on the grill for a long time which makes them toast, and number 3- I think they put a lot of salt or a lot of seasoning to the pork rinds since I tried them and I did like them but it did feel like they had a lot of salt and then since it has cheese, the cheese has salt I mean you should look at that in the pork rinds with cheese ??“

“Best chicken in town. Love the hospitality and portions. Love to order from here when I have big parties ot open house. I highly recommend it. Family own and their recipe for chicken is really good.“

“Wow its delicious food l love it❤️“

“The atmosphere was astonishing I was mesmerized as I tried to catch ever beautifully decorated chandelier and pieces of art Mosaic, especially the ginormous faux melting candle. Just as you catch from the side of your eyes it a cart wheeling private bar tender inquiring on if you would like a margarita! We ordered a $75.00 plate of filet mignon, shrimp, and scallops; I was disappointed for that price they give one shrimp a d two scallops? Steak was the bomb dot com though.“

“I’ve always driven by and finally got a chance to stop in for dinner. The restaurant was bustling and a vibe. The servers were very friendly and attentive and helped us decide between a couple dishes. There’s too many good options and I will definitely be back to try some of the others. We go one of the soups and the shrimp and steak dish. Big delicious portions and great micheladas!“

“Sarita’s Pupuseria is one of those places where you immediately know you made the right decision the second you take your first bite. Honestly, give me 20. No hesitation.

You really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu, but the revuelta is the one. If there were such a thing as a perfect bite, it would be that pupusa with curtido and just a little drop of their salsa. It’s warm, savory, slightly tangy, and hits every note exactly the way it should.

Everything is made to order, so come with a little patience. But that’s part of the experience. Watching them press, fill, and cook each pupusa is its own kind of show. These aren’t rushed. They’re crafted. And you can taste that in every bite.

It’s the kind of food that feels simple but is done so well it stays with you. Add in the fact that it has a little movie moment tied to it, and it just makes the whole experience even better.

All worth the wait. Every single time.“
