Salvadoran Restaurants near Torrance, CA

“Delicious! It was our first time having Guatemalan / Salvadorian food as we don’t have this in Wisconsin and everything was great!“

“Tenía mucho tiempo sin comer chicharrón, frijoles negros, plátano frito, huevos y pupusas en una misma sentada. Disfruté de la comida y del servicio del personalidad. Lo recomiendo.“

“Las Pupusas, buenísimas y que no falte la cola champán“

“Healthy simple food.I like it just the way it is. I got the #1 ejotes con huevo; scrambled eggs, green beans, onion, tomato & bell pepper; accompanied with queso fresco, beans, crema, avocado slice, and thick corn tortillas. Fresh, simple and not heavy. Plus the price is also fair. If we ALL ate good simple food vs fast food chain, we all would be better off“

“First time trying Pupusas from Los Chorros and what can I say !!! They were so delicious !! Pricing was great especially since they were so stuffed, and their Horchata was so good . Marissa was the young girl that attended me in the counter and she was so helpful and nice and very attentive. Atmosphere was great , and very clean restaurant.I was very satisfied with her customer service and I would recommend 10/10 !!“

“Buena la comida 🥘 y barato“

“Love their pupusas and all other tasty dishes. I love that I can buy both Salvadorian and Mexican combined!“

“This a great place for pupusas.I had both a loroco and a revuelta pupusa. The loroco was very cheesy and had a very nice light veggie taste from the blossoms. The revuelta was full of flavor and not overly salty.The cortiodo had a nice bite to it and a pleasant balance between the herbs and vinegar.I also had a tamale de elote, it tasted very fresh. It came with crema and beans, and was a nice finish to my lunch.I think they make their own tamarindo Agua fresca - it had a nice tartness without being overly sweet.“

He decided to try it. I placed an order online through Grub Hub for pickup. He waited the 20 minutes for it to be ready. Only to show up and find out they don't do online orders. Well, whatever, I will order in person, but it turns out that they only accept cash......they must have card services...there are people who use cards, because we don't use cash on the streets,,They need that service“

“me gusto mucho las pupusas riquísimas la a ten ion excelente está en mis planes volver para probar más comidas“

“The pupusas are great. The black beans super delicious and the platanos fritos.
I called ahead for pick up it took about 20 mins. Food is great will be coming back to try there other stuff on the menu. Totally recommend this place.
Parking is limited. I parked on the street.“

“Best pupusas ever. I’ve also tried their sopa de gallina, pan con pollo and yuca con chícharron which have all been excellent. Our go to is the pupusas revueltas grandes which will be a little bigger, have more filling and are so cheesy! We accompany our pupusas with the plate of Platanos con frijol y queso and a large ensalada drink, hits the spot every time. Everything is made to order so you might wait a while but it’s definitely worth it.“

“I’m only doing review on the food because it’s my first time trying it and I ordered through Uber eats. I ordered pupusas revuelta, cheese , beans & cheese, and some plátanos fritos and omg IT WAS DELICIOUS! I took my shot by ordering through uber eats and I’m glad I did 😊 can’t wait to the try sopa de gallina!❤️“

“Very delicious food, abundant. Place is hole in the wall. It has four tables. Max capacity 10 people. Lots of customes picking up orders placed over the phone. Very clean. I order salpicon and a medium orchata. I enjoyed very much. Took my 45 minutes to finish my meal. :<)“

“good pupusas across from Nogales High“

“The food is good and decently priced.I like the fact that you can get Salvadorian dishes or Mexican.Since it's located in a lower-income area, the atmosphere is not even mid-tier.Don't let that discourage you.I enjoyed the chilaquiles with a side popusa.“

“I was craving pupusas and was looking around for a new spot since all the ones around the south bay area are so so or haven't been so good. I called ahead to place my order. I ordered about 15 pupusas. When I arrived I checked in the counter and was given a 15 minute ETA for completion but i ended up getting my food in 10min. When I got home I was pleasantly surprised my pupusas were neatly packaged and were wrapped individually so they wouldn't get stuck to each other. The pupusas looked and smelled great. They were a little on the greesier side but I don't mind. I am usually not optimistic about the curtido (not sure if that's how you spell it lol) and the red sauce but let me tell you it was fire .. they were both done right and the Lemus restaurant was not stingy with the amount they gave out. The revueltas were really good and had a good mix of stuffing inside they were not stingy. The bean and cheese were also good and really cheesey my kids loved them. I will definitely be coming back for some more.“

“Absolutely ? % the best Salvadoran Restaurant in Southeast Los Angeles.
The Sopa de Res (Beef stew) is freshly made, order ahead if you can,.
..You will be back for sure once you discover this place!
Thanks to the owner, and Cook , Vicki , you're the best!!“

“Small restaurant.When coming here I enjoy getting their pupusas for take out. Very rarely eat in.They mostly speak Spanish so for me there's a little bit of a language issue. I guess on a fundamental level they are good with customer service. For their patients mostly and for not rejecting me and/or some other negative experience.Would I go again? Yes for spontaneous urge for pupusas.Would I recommend? Yes, I Encourage at least a few visits. To draw own personal feel. Support small business that has great pupusas, plus potential good food.“

“We just had a pork and cheese pupusa, a revuelta (pork, beans, cheese) pupusa and a side order of refried beans. What a delicious meal!! I’ve been to El Salvador twice and I have had pupusa‘s in a lot of places in the United States. The pupusas at Paquitas are authentic and just so delicious. For sure, that is my comfort food! The refried beans it’s exactly what I have had El Salvador. I asked the lady at the counter what kind of beans they use and she said they buy beans from El Salvador in Los Angeles. I can totally taste the difference. They were so great I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Very delicious authentic comfort food. Large portions very delicious and friendly workers!! 5 out of 5 ⭐️“

“It's was good I liked it. I will definitely go again.“

“We found this gem...just by walking the area as we were visiting from Indianapolis. Our Air BNB was just a few blocks away. The food was very good and we were seated very quickly. The food came out fast too. The service was good and restaurant was very clean. Prices were so reasonable.“

“Personally, I love it, only that a couple of times they forget the tortillas and another two times they gave me a thigh with the bone peeled from the leg. Someone ate the chicken. I didn't want to complain because the food is good.

Kid-friendliness: The food is very good“

“pupusas tortas and platanos are the best“

“comida fresca como hecha en casas del Salvador..“

“Omg they have Peruvian food so u get delicious aji sauce with their hot sauces.

Pupusas are 10/10. Fresh hot and crunchy on outside served with flavorful sauce and cooling it down with the pickled slaw. Sorry scarfed this down so no photos of it haha.

Menudo also 10/10. Lots of squishy tripe goodness and broth was flavorful. Served with fresh handmade tortillas.

I want to come back to try their breakfast and maybe grab some fresh warm conchas after next door. I recommend this place! They have several types of hot sweet warm drinks too like atol de elote, atole de platano, atol de aba, arroz con leche. Yummmyy“

“Muy buena comida y económica“

“Very close to my house so when I'm craving pupusas or a good sopa de res this is the place I hardly eat in cause parking can be a pain in the butt but over all the food is delicious authentic highly recommend they also have a 2nd location in Inglewood much bigger like I told the wife las pupusas se comen con las manos ??“

“I really enjoy eating at Ilobasco, the flavors are authentic and the portions are generous. My only issue was that it can get a bit noisy during peak hours, which made it hard to have a conversation. Aside from that, the food and service are solid.“

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

“Pupusas are delicious and very reasonable pricing, yes some days the parking can be a headache but it also comes with the food and pricing if it local popular "Joint". Beside the typical "pupusas " they have a variety of food many menus these a re just a few snaps.“

“Order Three Cheese Popusas
Delicious!!!
But... The Curtido Not Fresh Is Fresh Because It Has Been Refrigerated For Days!!!!
The Sauce Is Still Not Fresh From Days And Without Taste....
It's been several times now that Boy they put the curtido and the sauce on me and I don't even try them...
But.. The Very Delicious Popusas“

“They have the best Pupusas in the area, the price is unbeatable for the how big they are. It is an open seating area with comfortable chairs. They have other items in the menu but the price is a little high on those. They also have fried banana for dessert.“

“Excelente todo el menú pero las pupusas 10 de 10 .“

“It's a very mom and pop shop, but they are worth a visit!
I've only had the pupusa so far, but I am excited to try their other dishes as everything smells extraordinary.
The pupusa were cooked perfectly, with that little bit of crispy edges! So good!
Their curtido was really fresh too! I normally like a pickle curtido but theirs was really fresh and nice!
The salsa roja was really nice too.
Everything made sense together and was quite delicious!
I can't wait to try more and thank you so much!“

“Incredible hand made pupusas! And friendly people. Try the locas, they were my favorite. Also, they had horchata de morro when I visited, it's a different thing ... Try it if you haven't, it's delicious!

Vegetarian options: Spinach pupusas were really good, a vegetarian in my group loved them.“
