Salvadoran Restaurants near Torrance, CA

“Dined in late on recent Sunday afternoon. Ordered combo plate (w/loroco & chicken pupusas) & house juice. Friendly counter guy brought drink, tub of pickled slaw & salsas (fruity, spicy) to table. Small dining space a bit cluttered but was nearly empty so I was able to relax & savor the cheesy goodness w/rice, beans & fried plantains. More than filling & satisfying for just north of $20. Will be back.“

“I ordered the Huevos with green and red sauce. The green is very hot. It tastes great. Everything is excellent. The rice and beans have a different taste than Mexican and I like it a lot. Mmmm the fried plantains are so good and Salvadorian tortillas I enjoyed very much. I highly recommend the breakfast that I had.“

“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.“

“buena. comida buen. servicio. muy. amables“

“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“

“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.“

“Cielo mar y Tierra y el caldo de gallina esta Rico“

“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. :<)“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

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

“good pupusas across from Nogales High“

“muy buena comida ,buena atencion .buen cervicio .me gusta“

“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 ??“

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

“rica comida de verdad limpio“

“I've been coming to this restaurant for the past 2 months for my pupusa cravings. These are some of the best tasting revueltas I've had around this area, especially if you order the ones made from rice. Their chicken soup and Carne guisada is also really good. The customer service is friendly and the dining area is clean. There's free parking in the back. No se le olvide la horchata o la cola champagne con su orden.“

“The atmosphere is quiet and there is a table for billiards and jukeboxes with a tremendous sound! Isabel is a beautiful person, very kind and courteous, I used a friend called El Negro (Good vibes) my experience was very good here I recommend this place if you are looking for shade by night...“

“Just stopped by and had to leave a review right away!! This is the best mexican food that I have had in 10 years!! I had a wet carne adada burrito. Service was great we got our order pretty quickly and the flavors were out of this world. Seriously mouthwatering!!“

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

“Good, cozy Central American (Salvadorian) place. Food was fresh and good , but a little bit cold. I ordered plate with breakfast and green beans. My friends ordered different variation of Pupusas. They were happy.
Also here a Karaoke with a good big screens.
Sounds was not bad at all, but advising to the owner. Please put on your walls a sound proof panels. Coz you guys have a concrete walls and tile. And this gives you huge echo and sound reflection.
This is why I left earlier.

But overall I will back with my friends for sure.
Oh yes , prices for main dishes cheaper than in other similar places about 20%.“

“It's a family owned business. The people are lovely. I love coming here for pupusas, I've had the queso, revuelto, queso con frijoles, and the chicharon. There will be a little wait as they make to order, but it's definitely worth it. I come out of my way to come here for quality and consistency.“

“Always a great vibe and delicious food! Los platos fuertes (like the Bistec Encebollado) are 🔥🔥🔥. Will absolutely recommend to others.“

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

“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 !!“

“pupusas tortas and platanos are 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.“

“Our family has been eating here fr years and I gotta day the food is super delicious! Very Athentic central America tastes on all there dishes Portions come big. Very worth the price. Deff a hidden Gem" you'll forsure be back for more" and by the way I'm a picky eater but this place won me over on first visit *

Vegetarian options: Thy do hv vegetarian options. For example the pupusas and the vanilla cream filled plantains.

Parking: The Soups are one of my favorites thy also hv plenty of seafood options"

Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs to enter“

“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.“

“The best Popusas in town always fresh and Delicious ..i always completely soak mine in the sauce and curtido i think thats what its called not sure .. anyhow i dined in for first time only down side was its was really hot inside and needs a bit of a face life a lil too busy with clutter would be great to see it revanped a bit ..“

“The place is good , I ordered 6 mixed pupusas, and they said in 30 mins, the order will be done, but I was like 2 mins away , my dad parked the car, we waited for 8 mins , once he when inside to pay , he came out with are order I was surprised that are order was already done. 😀 but the only thing I will say is that they put to much cheese on the pupusas when I ask for a rebuelto, didn't taste the beans, the chicharon, mostly the queso only. Over all good place great price.“

“I had a craving for pupusas and found this place through Google Maps-and I’m so glad I did! I ordered the pupusas rancheras, which came with two huge chicharrón pupusas-honestly, the biggest I’ve ever had. They were served with a side of refried black beans, Central American-style sour cream, two sweet banana slices, and a rich red sauce that tied everything together perfectly.

Everything was absolutely delicious, and the service was warm and welcoming. I’m definitely planning to come back and will be recommending this place to my friends and family. Highly recommend!“

“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 ??“

“This place was amazing! The food was delicious, the staff was so nice and welcoming. It was our first time here and we will definitely be coming back. We came on a Saturday and we're seated almost immediately.

Parking: The parking lot is a little small but we were able to find a spot pretty quickly. However I can see during peak hours how this may be an issue.

Kid-friendliness: Our server was super attentive to my 1.5 year old. She made sure we had everything we needed for him and always acknowledged him when she came to our table.“

“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.“
