Salvadoran Restaurants near Whittier, CA

“My husband and I just tried this place tonight and it’s so good! We ordered the revuelta, been and cheese, and plain cheese. They were all full of flavor. Would definitely come again.“

“Came in while we wait for an oil change and was greeted with such hospitality. While it is a restaurant it feels like a home here. There was only one man here working but he did acknowledge us right away. I ordered the Pupusas and when he was preparing my order I can hear him preparing them in the back BY HAND, not pre made. Delicious and hot.“

“Nice selection of tasty pupusas and their breakfast was on point!!!“

“Excellent service, great food. Flavorful fresh and served hot.
Absolutely delicious Puposas. We will return. One of the negative is that they have a strong fan that blows your napkins and your hair all over the place and the machinery is load.“

The flavors are rich and true to traditional Salvadoran cuisine—whether it’s the perfectly seasoned pupusas, tangy curtido, or savory meats, everything tastes like home.

The service complements the food perfectly—friendly, attentive, and welcoming. The atmosphere feels warm and inviting, making it more than just a meal, but a full experience. For anyone craving real Salvadoran flavors done right, this place delivers every time.“

“This place is amazing, the food is delicious, and the portions are so big that you can honestly share a plate. I cannot emphasize how delicious the food is. The meat is tender and juicy, the salvadoran plate felt authentic, it had that taste that is so missing here in US. Even the Peruvian plate was delicious and better than Inka Mama's. I would definitely recommend eating here.“

“This restaurant is like a pearl in a clam in HP neighborhood. They serve delicious Salvadoran food. The restaurant can sit about five tables. It's clean and well lighted.

“El personal super amable , las pupusas y el atol de elote delicioso !! Hemos ido varias veces y siempre son tan serviciales !! Muchas gracias 😊“

“This place is much better than Comalapa across the street. The staff is friendly and their flavors are 10/10. Their pupusas are gigantic. I got the breakfast eggs with beans, plantains, tortillas, cheese, and sour cream, and their portions and flavor are the best. The beans were bomb. 100% recommended“

“My family has been coming here since I was a child. This establishment has been operating for over 20 years and the food is always delicious, the service is always above and beyond and they really make us feel welcomed every single time. The best pupusas in town!“

“Absolutely delicious! The pupusas were fresh, perfectly cooked, and packed with flavor. The curtido and salsa were the perfect complement, and the service was warm and welcoming. You can tell everything is made with care. I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend this place to anyone craving authentic, homemade pupusas!“

“This place always warms my heart when i come and grab food. The service is amazing and everybody is so kind and caring. They make sure you have everything you need and the ladies in the back cooking are hands down the best! Thank you for everything i am always coming here and recommending to family and friends.“

“While this small place might just be in a car wash, do not overlook this hiddengem when looking for pupusas. We have been coming here for years and the flavors are perfect. The pupusas are big, yet full of flavor and made fresh. This also means the wait times might be longer so if you do have larger orders, I recomend calling in ahead. They also have other food dishes such as soups,tacos and even tamals. This is a must try place for fans of food in general and especially salvadorean food. The prices are also very reasonable for the amount of high quality food you get.“

“First time here for breakfast. My wife and I ordered the Huevos Rancheros comes with 2 eggs, beans, sour cream, cheese, fried plantains and chorizo and 2 homemade tortillas. Let me tell you it was delicious. We’re definitely coming back for more. The service was amazing Yasin was our waitress very hospitable and very professional.“

“Él mejor restaurante se los Garantizo que lo biciten Seran super atendidos.“

“Had pupusas to go and they are amazing, had lots of cheeae and tasted to good wth the curtido amd tomato sauce mix in. The price and size of rbe pupusas are a good deal.. I highly recommend this place. First time tasting their pupusas and coming back.“

“I'm not Salvadorian, but I love Salvadorian foods. This restaurant makes me even more of a pupusa-lover. Since I don't know Spanish, the Google translator helps me to communicate with the employees. But I even love it. Definitely, more often I will come back to order my dinner from this restaurant!

Wheelchair accessibility: Park rear with handicap placard, and there is wheelchair accessible entrance.“

“El is a fantastic place for Mexican food! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and made with care. The portions were generous, and every dish tasted homemade. The staff were warm, friendly, and provided excellent service from start to finish. The restaurant was clean, welcoming, and had a comfortable atmosphere. If you're looking for delicious Mexican food at a great price, this is definitely the place to visit. Highly recommend!“

“100% go with these guys. They were not only the most economical, but they were SOOO GOOOOOD and a hit with all our guests. I still have people texting me how good the pupusas were. And the agua fresca was so good. Will definitely use them again“

“I have been eating at this restaurant for more than one year. Their food has a great taste, and the service is excellent and friendly. All the plates look like they were cooked with love and care, compared to other Salvadoran restaurants I have visited in these areas, where they serve food to make money regardless of whether the dish is well cooked or not. Excellent restaurant!“

“Rica comida, buen servicio!!“

“If you plan on wanting to eat at home, definitely order ahead..Wait for Pupusas is usually about 20 minutes. The people there are very nice, they have reasonable prices, and I feel like they are consistent with the quality of their food( at least for the last 5 years that I've been going).. my go tos are usually Pupusas de queso con jalapeño and bean and cheese, oh and the loroco ones. Plus an order of yucca frita with chicharron.“

“Buenísimo!!! Lo recomiendo . Un buen lugar y buena comida .“

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

“Best place to get pupusas salvadorian, best ones I recommend for intense flavor would be revueltos. The salsa that comes with it is a tomato salsa, bit watery-BUT not spicy at all AND delicious(especially the chicken/cheese pupusas!). Flavorful cooked plantains, sides, and chorizo sausage amazing! The staff are nice too! Definitely recommend!“

“Pupusa Power! 😁 Wouldn't eat them from anywhere else! 😍“

“Nancy's is unassuming, a hole-in-the-wall kind of place. I can't believe it took a long time to visit. I've dropped in a couple of times already and enjoyed my meals. They have a local feel when you walk inside.

There is a little bit of a wait, and I think they make the food to order, so it's hot and fresh when you receive it. I recommend that if you plan to take out, call ahead to place your order to save time.

They are known for their pupusas, which I got on my first visit. I was curious after reading some of the positive reviews. I ordered the revuelta and chicken with cheese. Both had great flavors and would consider getting them again.

The flavorful, crispy empanadas were among my favorites. I got the carne (beef) and spinach with cheese empanadas and loved them. The perfectly fried shell and flavorful filling.

Their Salvadoran tamales are prepared in the traditional style, with a flavorful filling and soft, moist masa, wrapped in banana leaves rather than corn husks. I love Mexican-style tamales (especially homemade), so this was a new experience trying Salvadoran-style tamales.

I think most people will order takeout, but there's a moderately sized dining area with tables. It has a local feel and a pleasant atmosphere. The staff was kind and provided great service. The prices are fair for the quality of the food.

I still can't believe I waited this long to visit Nancy's. I can't wait to come back and try other items on the menu.

Note:
There is a little charge for using credit cards, so cash would be better if you want to avoid the CC charge.“

“Very good food with homemade taste. A little hidden place in Walnut, but with great dishes and you can feel the love in the food you eat. I tried the bistec picado, and a carne asada burrito...delicious. Do not forget to try the fruit juice. Very refreshing!“

“Muy rica comida, el lugar es muy limpio y los precios son razonables.“

“Been living close to this spot for almost 7 years now and I finally decided to try it. I was a little worried at first because they took a little long but wow when my plate got to me it was piping hot. Portion were big and food was delicious. Definitely surprised on how good it was. I will be coming again. Pupusas were fire too.“

“El anviente muy bonito y la comida muy buena se los recomiendo al 100 es un restaurante familiar muy agradable“

“I've had a birria pupusa, revuelta, pan con pollo, plátanos con crema y frijoles. Everything I had taste really good. The only thing I would prefer is some dark meat on my pan con pollo. The quality and quantity of which I'm served is very pleasing. I was impressed with the consistent quality of every single bite of platanos. All very nice and ripe. The crema is authentic and they use the proper kind of beans for the dish.

The surprise was the birria pupusa. It's not authentic but it does taste good and you should try it.“

“Ordered here because it was one of the only places open on Christmas Day and it did not disappoint! The food is all very well made, not overly greasy, flavor on point. We even loved the salchipapas we got as a free upgrade because we ordered through Uber Eats. Can’t wait to try different menu options in the future. This place is definitely a hidden gem.“
