Salvadoran Restaurants near Sylmar, CA

“Pupusas are delicious! I’ve tried many different restaurants in the valley and this one by far takes it. They are off of Foothill Blvd (in front of the Vons) Tuesday-Sunday. Hours vary from 9:30. Very affordable and they have an area where you can sit and eat. Also very clean, gloves are used to prepare your food.“

“First time eating here. I ordered 3 Pupusas Revueltas with a medium Horchata. The food was pretty good. The hot sauce they offered was okay, it could have been more spicy but it the did the job well. The Horchata did taste a little funny to me and also was kinda of chalky tasting. So that's why I took off one star from the overall score. Other than that, the food was very good. I really did need some comfort food and those Pupusas really hit the spot. Whenever I'm in the mood for Pupusas again, I'll stop by again.“

“I found this place looking for good food, and it is the best I have eaten in the SF Valley, the pupusas and the breakfast with egg and chorizo ​​(they were my choice) have authentic Salvadoran flavor. Unfortunately I don't have photos to show but if you visit this place you won't regret it.“

“It is a place where they sell food with a rich, pleasant flavor and good customer service from the moment they enter the business.

Parking: It is a not very big place like all the others, there are days when it is full, days when it is regular and when it is full there is not much parking and you have to wait a certain amount of time until a customer finishes and you grab a parking space or the balet parking lot. He leaves one and takes it to park.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes there are.“

“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!!!

Dietary restrictions: I follow an anti inflammatory diet and i dont eat potato or gluten it was noce to have options like yuca on the menu!“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“The pupusas are good, the pata soup is given to you without any nerve and pansa, just vegetables and soup that taste good, but that's why I won't buy the plantain empanadas again, they are terrible, I had to throw them away, they should improve the quesadillas if they are good and the pupusas.“

“OMG this is the 3rd time in a week that i order the pollo en crema (chicken in cream) is so delicious, so testy, full in flavor, and convine with the rice and the black beans is and explosion of flavors in my mouth..... I will not admitted but am getting addicted to this food.........?? this is a recomendable place to go !!!“

“(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 ??“

“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!“

“Very delicious pupusas! I especially enjoyed the chicharron & cheese and the jalapeno & cheese. Flavor is wonderful especially with a little of the pickled cabbage and salsa on top!
I also tried the Atol de Elote, which is a sweet corn drink, and loved it!
The service was also fantastic! The gentleman who helped me with my order was very kind and very informative about the menu
Would go back in a heartbeat!“

“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 . ??“

“The people that are complaining about the customer service or the kid at the front are just straight being sensitive. I believe the kid is young and unexperience and also timid hes still learning as for the ladie in the kitchen she seem koo to me and besides she's working she can be communicating while cooking lol. As for the food is great! Best pupusas I tried so far. You can taste the love put in the food.“

“I went in 20 minutes before closing when you’d expect the worst service but actually I received the best service! After my terrible experience with Mi Casita on Vanowen and Kester, I came here as my last resort.My pupusas were filled with flavor and not dry at all, the sauce was great and the curtido could of been better it takes more refrigerated. They also sell charamuscas here and their horchata is the best. The ladies were extremely nice and I got my order in less than 15 minutes. I’m definitely coming back here!“

“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.“

“I give it a 4 stars because my 7 mares soup was missing seafood, even though it did taste very good. Their carne asada, to my taste, it could have tasted better. Their pupusas revueltas, definitely great. And the waitress was friendly with a smile on her face. ☺️ altogether the bill was $90. 4pupusas, 1siete mares and 1 carne asada plate and 3 drinks. You be the judge if it is pricey or just about right?.“

“The delicious food. But the waitress is super terrible, she gets upset when you ask her to bring you something else, if you talk to her she doesn't stop she keeps walking and only sees you again. I will continue going for the food. I hope the lady changes her attitude.“

“I loved the very delicious pupusas, well toasted without much oil, you have to order them before arriving at the restaurant about 30 minutes, otherwise you want to wait for them to be warm and delicious to eat. The chocolate was very sweet but with a little more milk it solves it. Thank you

Parking: The parking lot is small but adequate, if not full, it has an excellent location.“

“We enjoy eating out. Yesterday we came to this magnificent restaurant which friends recommended to us. We enjoyed a delightful experience there with great meal and a professional crew and a talented cook. We put this restaurant in our list and we shall certainly go again very soon. We highly recommend.“

“(Translated by Google) Hey Salvadoran countrymen and Mexican Guatemalan brothers, etc. This is a recommended place to have a couple of friends, it has its own jukebox for music, delicious pupusas and in the afternoons when it's raw, a sopon removes raw meat or a good plate of roast beef(Original)Hey paisanos salvadoreños y hermanos guatemaltecos mexicanos etc recomendable el lugar para tomarse un parcito entre cuates tiene su propia rocola para la music ricas pupusas y por las tardes de cruda un sopon quita crudas o un buen plato de carne asada“

“Mi esposo y yo siempre vamos porq el personal es muy amable en especial les recomiendo el atole de elote es riquísimo vale la pena ir a comer al Roca Fuerte las pupusas deliciosas visiten y se convencerán q es cierto lo q digo“

“Delicious! Amazing food! Great service!My fish fillet with rice, beans and salad was very tasty.The scrambled pupusas also taste great.Passion fruit water tastes exactly as it should, not too sweet and not too sour, just the necessary flavor to refresh and quench thirst.Portions are very large, cater to the ferocious appetite, well I think so.The place is not very big, but the service is very good. I would definitely go back!!! test passed.“

“First time here, parking was a bit crowded inside the plaza. The restaurant was a small place with limited tables and seats. When you enter it does have a nice native home ambiance. Customer service was great with great prices on their food. I decided to get 3 pupusas, two revueltas and one con queso y chicharon. Food was freshly made which was perfect for this cold weather. The only thing that I had a lil problem with was that they didn't give enough condiments for my three pupusas. I should of asked for extra but not sure if that would be additional $$. But overall the experience was great. Will come back again

Parking: Parking might be a little difficult to find depending on the time you arrive.“

“Best tacos place I've ever had!!! The meat is so fresh I tried to convince myself that the meat didn't come from one of the farms right next to the area in shadow hills and sun valley this morning haha...Too good...

Parking: Park on the street“

“The food used to be real bad but to my surprise it has greatly improved they must have hired a new cook! The place is very clean an so the restroom soccer games on flat screens you may have to wait for food but is all about the time of the day and how busy they are like any other place for this I give them four stars“

“excellent gallina soup.hand made tortillas.“

“Really good food and friendly staff.“

“I found this little gem of a restaurant by accident, and I love it. They feature Mexican/Salvadoran/Central American foods in a clean, efficient atmosphere. If you order the handmade tortillas, they will be the thicker variety common to El Salvador, but the thinner Mexican style are also available.I love the dish menudo, and here it is available daily, not just Saturday and Sunday. In addition, the restaurant features a bakery, and a selection of delicious pan dulce is offered daily. Portions are large and prices are reasonable. I will be back many times.“

“I have mixed feelings about this restaurant. I used to come here prior to the pandemic. Then I discovered a similar restaurant nearby that had a little bit more of a friendlier nicer atmosphere, but it closed down after the pandemic. I came back recently for the first time in a long time. The menu is very confusing and there are no prices listed anywhere. There really is no way to make a determination if you want to eat there or not since they do not have prices anywhere and basically only photos of menu items on the wall. There is no way to know if the employees are being honest in terms of what they are charging you. I got papusas which is what I came there for. They seemed a bit over priced in my opinion, but the meal was excellent with plenty of the cabbage "coleslaw" (with pepper in it too which I liked!) that is traditional with the meal, and the sauce was rather good too. They should invest in air conditioning instead of fans which sort of blows things away on the tables, such as your napkins, making the meal as challenging as if it was outdoors during Santa Ana winds (California, not El Salvador. Lol). I was slightly disappointed, but I have not ate out much since inflation has hit so maybe the prices are typical. The food was great so I guess that is what matters the most. Atmosphere inside was much improved with El Salvador images on the walls. I enjoyed the cultural pride presented inside the restaurant.

Vegetarian options: Communication is very poor here. No menu prices posted and no description of the menu items. I do not know if they have any vegan options, but you can get bean and cheese or squash and cheese papusas. Beans seemed to be vegetarian, but communication challenges prevented me from asking. This seems to a place for local people from El Salvador so the food was rather good. It would be helpful to dine with a Spanish speaking friend. This is a good small restaurant to support over the big chains. Support local small businesses like this one.“

“The best pupuseria I’ve found so far. Authentic, comforting, and reasonably priced. I highly recommend!“

“Turn down the music, some people just want to have a quiet meal. I really like the food there, it's very good and tasty, but I can't stand loud music. I love music but when you can't have a conversation with those at your table because of the noise, that's enough. Now I only order takeout.“

“Stopped by on our way home , service was excellent and the food was mouthwatering ! Would travel the three hours just to eat here !“

“Wonderful food! But more importantly, wonderful customer service. Ordered through doordash (little late night snack) and no dasher accepted the order. I called the resturant, 5 minutes before closing assuming they would just cancel my order. Instead they said we will drop it off ourselves! Not only did they deliver within 15 minutes, the included a couple sodas as an apology. GREAT experience with them will definitely be ordering again!!!“
