“Really nice waiter attended us. We came here because loaded cafe had nobody attending guests. It was a cute little typical hispanic place. Restroom is through the kitchen which is pretty unhygienic but whatever. Fresh ingredients and food was flavorful except for the eggs but overall solid. Pupusas were huge but I didn't try them.“
“I've been here twice and have been pleasantly surprised both times. The ambiance is amazing. Clean, neat and happy. The staff on both occasions were superb. Fast and speedy service. On the second visit the place was full and yet the waitress didn't miss a beat. Cool calm and collective. The food is well proportioned and delicious. My hubby always orders either a beef caldo or chicken. He was pleased on both visits. I always stick to different types of breakfasts that are typical to our culture. They didn't disappoint. We will continue to visit this spot. Thank you for such a gem of a place. Blessings to you all.“

“I found a diamond in this beautiful family own restaurant. This is a Salvadoran and Mexican style restaurant. First, we ordered the Molcajete completo Cielo Mar y Tierra. Desayuno - and pupusas de Arroz. The restaurant is nice and clean and the food is so delicious. We also got carne guisada. And more pupusas de arroz ( instead of corn we choose rice).By the way, our Server Gladis was super nice friendly and professional. She took our order quickly and look at these large portions.Highly recommend Mi Pueblo Restaurant y Pupuseria. Either with family or friends come and support this local business. Thanks for reading“
“Love this place! Most of the workers don’t speak much English- but they do well with trying to get u what u need…, I’m a big soup person and they make the BEST! Always hearty compared to all other places I’ve been too…. We always go back. Try the cow foot soup or the 7 seas… 2 of my favorites…. Every item I’ve had from them has been great! I highly recommend!!“
“Welcoming staff, clean, very tasty food. I'm a gringa, so no clue what true Salvadoran food SHOULD taste like.... This food was just straight up DELICIOUS!! Better than others I've tried, so I gotta think probably pretty authentic! If you find yourself with a pupusa craving, go for the queso con loroco or quest and beans.... Really enjoyed the food and the ladies working so hard and being so proud to share such yumminess.... brought back a big group of us and it was the same.... Thanks ladies!!“
“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.“
“2nd time here. Had to come back, aannd will be back again!! Ordered the Sopa de Gallina. One word to describe; AMAZING!! The chicken breast was well seasoned and super juicy. Still in love with the rice. The broth, you can taste the passion, skill and time it takes to achieve the flavor. Always remember to be patient, great food doesn't take 5 mins. It was hot out today, but super fresh inside.“
“Thank you to our friends and clients for your preference. We always hope ? to provide a good service ? that you like, any suggestion helps us improve service for you, our valued clients, blessings from us, your friends José and rubí portillo.“
“Great clean and well run spot in Wilmington! Delicious and freshly made authentic salvadoran food. The quesadilla, sweet bread, served nice and warm made in house is a must. We had the mojarra ? frita and chicharrones entomatados served with nice refried red bean, rice, and freshly hand made tortillas. Family restaurant with spotless facilities. Will be back!!“
“First gen salvi here - this has been our new go to pupuseria since Cerro Verde closed. The pupusas, platanos, and beans are great, I haven't tried much else. God bless them for taking my dad's constant unsolicited business advice. I have only had to go food from here. Prices are fair for LA food.“
“Pupusas here are deliciosas!!!!! Prices are reasonable, they take debit card with no extra charge so that’s a plus. I recommend calling in if you’re taking to go because it can take them up to 25 minutes… the parking is not good but the taste and price are worth it :)We always get pupusas revueltas…“
“Went two days in a row here ! Super bomb and good hospitality!! The first day My mom got a Caldo de res and was good portions and tortillas de mano !! I got pupusas and tacos soo good the pupusa was super cheesy and the tacos were bomb aswell ! Second day my mom got plantano frito and pupusas and they were good portioned and soo good ! I got chilaquiles and I special requested my eggs to be sunny side up and they didn't forget ! I recommend!! Willl be going again ! This place is like a mixture of Mexican and Salvadoran food ! My favorites all in on restaurant!“
“I cannot believe this location actually closed!! We came here when it was opened in 2018, on a hot mid summer day. We passed through a sketchy neighborhood to get here, but you know what they say? Best tasting food is always found in a sketchy neighborhood. We parked in a spacious parking lot, greeted by a lots of smiles from the staff, the clean restaurant had a clean restroom and lots of dining space. This restaurant would've done well during the Covid-19 pandemic if it required social distancing. My family is actually from El Salvador, so seeing this restaurant was appealing and was there go-to. Upon gazing at the menu, we ordered Platanos, lots of Pupusas, scrambled eggs and had lots of traditional Salvadoran sour cream on the side. We enjoyed our dining experience so I'm sad to see this place go!“
“Reyna sure knows how to make an excellent pupusa. Of all the items we ordered for takeout/delivery, these were by far the star of the show. We also ordered some tacos and her steak tacos are pretty tasty as well! The chicken in the chicken tacos was on the dryer side, but that didn't stop us from devouring our meal. We also ordered the shrimp tostada which was another tasty item. We'll definitely be back for more pupusas soon!Check them out!“
“A small economy restaurant with amazing food, I’ve eaten El salvadorian food since childhood. The pupusas de queso con Loroco are the best. The Loroco was fresh and flavorful, the pan con gallina (hen sandwich) on a bun with mildly spicy Daisy was delicious. Grille shrimp has perfect seasoning.“
“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 ??“
“One of the best local pupusa places in Lynwood/South Gate area. Their pupusas are huge and full of cheese that pulls out when you break the pupusas. Their curtido is very flavorful. They also serve a delicious Carne Guizada with rice, beans, salad, and had made delicious fat tortillas. One more item that my wife and I like to order and now our son loves too is their sopa de pollo that comes with a lot of vegetables, two pieces of chicken and most impotently, they serve it with little coditos pasta inside. it brings the sopa to another level especially when you are sick or it's just a sopa kind of weather. The staff is very friendly and very attentive. Will definitely keep coming back here as long they keep making delicious food.“
“Wow for my Paseo Lourdes Salvadoran Restaurant ?? it has the best Salvadoran flavor 100% its delicious food, I live in the city of Pomona, but I go to Los Angeles California just to go my favorite food dishes ??? to all the public of I recommend its surroundings????????“
“I love the platanos and platano de empanadas, is my go to! Pupusas are great. Curtido is great, made the traditional way! I recommend you call in to place your order. Is not that they are slow is just the food is great they get tons of orders. I love that its clean inside too. Yeah its located in not the best street but never been a problem for me. I recommend this place!“
“I ordered 40 popusas and they were ready when I got there. I didn't have to wait. The older lady there is so sweet. She made sure I didn't get burned and gave me box to carry the popusas to my car. Overall, great experience. Food was delicious and great customer service.“
“STEPH JUDGEMENT: Awesome hole in the wall pupuseria. We were looking for a pupuseria on the way to Smog City Brewing and this place seemed the most convenient, with decent ratings. We called in our order for pickup. It's a tiny place in a ho-hum strip mall, but you're not there for the ambiance. We got 3 bean & cheese and a spinach and cheese pupusas, and fried plantains. Very sizable--we were counting on leftovers and we got them! Everything was very tasty, but we thought the spinach and cheese could've used a bit more spinach (our only complaint). Service was friendly. We'd definitely go back!“
“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“
“If you’re looking for authentic Salvardorian food, I’d say this is it. Menu seems a bit basic but did not disappoint. I had popusas and a elote tamale. The tamale was delicious and moist. The popusas were made fresh, but didn’t wow me. I noticed a B rating which made me worry. Atmosphere is authentic and homy.“
“I'm in love with this place. The food is really good, GREAT customer service. I love that lady and her mom. They are very nice every time we visit them. One thing I am gonna say is that the order do take a bit longer than we always expect but besides that, you guys are doing a great job. BEST RESTAURANT IN PEDRO!“
“Albondigas- Guau. The broth was full of flavor. Not bland at all. Seasoning was delicious. The albondigas were nicely cooked. The vegetables were cooked to a good texture, not too smushy, not raw. Pupusa de queso and chicharron- Super super delicious. I love the flavors, very rich and savory. I love their tomato salsa. Coffee- The coffee was actually pretty decent. I enjoyed it a lot. Service- Great service. Attentive, polite and friendly. Very nice experience. This place is home cooking with cooks who know what they're doing and care about making delicious food.“
“The I tried two different pupusas one of loroco and the other quest con frijol and they were great, you just need a lot of napkins.The drink horchata is made from morro (awesome) so it is nothing like the rice version that taste like sugar/rice water. The place has a lot of nice attributes, it just needs a few touch upsParking: It is exactly behind the building“
“Loved it!!! Pupusas are fresh and so yummy! Salsa y curtido is the best!Call ahead because it takes 6 pupusas 25 min to make. Which is not a problem especially how good they make them. Got 2 frijol y queso and four de queso. Will be coming back!“
“Been here numerous times and they have not ever Dissappointed me. I am a stickler for there Pupusas Revueltas, but because of lent Bean and Cheese only today. Also love how close they are to my residence. My water was served with a lemon inside and a slice of Cucumber on top.“
“Love this local spot for authentic Central American cuisine. Pupusas are always on point and my Dad lives their Caldo de Gallina. Always fresh and beyond delicious ? Love the plantain empanadas, they are a must try!!! Great for catering orders, too.“
“Seen the bad reviews no mames if your a real salvy you eat them pupusas with your hands the best pupusas in town the one that was on Elizabeth bakery closed down decades ago so I found this spot what you expect these ppl are cooking the food fresh so theirs a wait time and it doesn't disappoint 5“
“These were the best Pupusas I have had in a while so close to home too. They are freshly made and don't take more than 15 minutes to come out perfect! Parking is ok so I do recommend pre order if possible. Can't wait to try the other kind I ordered Revueltas and chicharron con queso! Wow they were delightful“
“If you like popusas or tacos dorarados, then this is the place the taco dorados is my favorite dish and popusas mixtas. I've being to other places for tacos dorados, and they are not as good as here really and for the popusas as well they have excellent popusas better flavor then other Salvador restaurants the place looks a bit run down, but the food is excellent, do not judge a place by the look, you are going to love the food here really.“
“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.“
