“The food used to be real bad but to my surprise it has greatly improved they must have hired a new cook!

“My friends and I came to place because they are known for their pupusas to celebrate one of their birthday. So they ordered the different pupusas and I got the ribeye with shrimp for my food. They loved the pupusas and it's a big portion. The ribeye steak and shrimp was delicious especially the pico de gallo that came with it. The customer service was amazing and there a private lot in the back for parking.“

“Traditional Salvadorean Cuisine in the SFV✨

Our first time trying Salvadorean food at this family owned restaurant in Reseda.

Carlos gave us some great recommendations so we ended up trying pupusas for the first time. It’s made with a homemade corn dough. It’s thicker than a regular corn tortilla and stuffed with ground pork and cheese. They have a variety of fillings. You can add salsa roja, a flavorful tomato-based sauce or habanero sauce. Served with Curtido, a tangy, fermented cabbage slaw. So crispy, cheesy and filling. It came burning hot - I could barely hold it. 😂 But, I would definitely order this again! ☺️

We tried Desayuno Típico, a traditional Salvadoran breakfast, which came with casamiento (beans and rice mixed together), Salvadorean style chorizo, fried plantains, 2 eggs, avocado, fresh cheese and Salvadorean style sour cream and homemade corn tortillas.

“The pupusas are good, we ordered beans and cheese with loroco, some with rice and others with corn. Very friendly service, the two men who attended us.
The very Salvadoran horchata.
Clean place, clean bathroom and toilet paper ??“

“Amazing food, my girlfriend and I stumbled upon this place while walking. The host was so friendly, explained the menu and answered our questions as we are new to Salvadoran food. The prices are great too. We will be coming back for sure!!!“

“Love the Place, Will join again“

“The Pupusas were delicious not greasy at all. They taste freshly made. The horchata was also very good. I was impressed, andI don't mind waiting when i know that the food is freshly made! I would come back if we find ourselves in that area again. The service was also good.“

“Some of the best pupusas I’ve had. This place is a great little whole in the wall spot with amazing food. We happened to stumble upon it and it made our day. They make you feel so welcome and we tried everything from the pupusas, siete mares, tacos and burritos. This spot is a must try!“

“Good spot for a quick bit or a full meal. I stop like ritual every morning for my pan con frijoles/huevos/creso duro, can't go wrong. The food is delicious and the girls are nice, not mean like other places I've gone. I think it is a spot that is underrated, been in a corner, no parking lot. Feels cozy. Like one of those little spots, you go in El Salvador and get surprised.“

“Amazing tamales! Definitely ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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!!!

“Authentic Salvadoran pupusas!

El Jocoreño is a little piece of Latin America in Los Angeles! Right now basic pupusas are $3.50 which is a great price for a sit down restaurant and the pupusas are amazing.

The restaurant is humble but it’s not a hole in the wall. The atmosphere is very warm and welcoming. People say “Good Afternoon” as they pass bye quite often. Locals come here and they have loyal customers. It’s a little piece of El Salvador! I love the atmosphere and listening to the cumbias in the kitchen!

This is my favorite pupusa restaurant and I’ve been to other good sit down pupusa places!

I had two pupusas revueltas with beans. They have chicharron and cheese as well. I also had a special Lent pupusa made of rice flour and shrimp. All pupusas here are not greasy, they’re thick and packed with flavor! Very important because many places sell greasy pupusas. I also had a delicious cup of tamarind water! One of my favorite drinks is Salvadoran horchata which is different than Mexican horchata. I like their version better. Try it. It’s amazing!

The service here is so good! The lady that attends you is a sweet woman with great manners and very efficient.

I believe they are cash only still.

Meter parking outside. They have a small lot behind the restaurant!“

“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.“

“The pupusas are delicious and the soups are delicious, woooow all the dishes are delicious OMG the bread with chicken are super delicious I am delighted with this restaurant EAT SOON ? I recommend this place 100% the waitresses are very friendly and the cooks also treat you super well with respect, I am delighted with this place ???“

“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.“

“Best pupusas in Arleta, I recommend the gallina asada soup (delicious), sopa de res and the sopa de pata. Also the mojarra frita if you want to eat well and have real nutrients come here. It's a nice place to eat there as well they have a nice patio in front of the road where you can relax. 🫡 Estelitas Forever!“

“So yummy!My parents are Guatemalan and used to take me to a lot of central American restaurants growing up. So glad I came across this restaurant. I ordered the Salvadorean breakfast and it reminded me of what I grew up eating at home. So worth it!P.s. they only take cash!“

“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.“

“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 !!!“

“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

“This place needs to get its recognition because the vibes here are spectacular and the pupusas are really good. It’s very clean I like the theme of the restaurant and on top of that it has a really nice bar with big tvs and variety of drinks. The only thing I’ve tried are the pupusas de revueltas and they’re and the horchata. It is really good. I highly recommend.“

“A nice and quiet place, good food, a little more atmosphere, music, yes, but you can go to eat a Salvadoran meal with a Salvadoran woman and have a quiet time having a good time. The food and the service are important, and also many thanks to the cook because she cooks very well. well thanks for everything we will be back ?“

“Ordered a plate of pupusas de queso and it came with a side of chips, salsa, and a spicy shredded salad. The pupusas were served fresh and tore apart in satisfying pieces, the cheesiness is pleasant and overall filling. The chips and salsa were nice to have on the side and the salad was good to have some greens to balance the diet. I also picked up some cookies by the front counter and they had a nice buttery flavor to them, very simple but delightful desserts after the meal. Location is difficult to access by driving as there are very limited parking spots. It may be wise to order ahead and have a friend wait in the car by the side in a space to pick up. Otherwise, it’s in a high traffic area so walking to this place is convenient. The staff are friendly, fast paced, and very kind. It seems most people opt for take-out but there seems to be plenty of dining space inside for anyone choosing to dine in.“

“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!“
