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.“

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

“I give them 5 stars for the food, the atmosphere, and the friendly staff, but at the same time, I feel sorry for them because how is it possible that the owners or managers can't see that they need more staff to serve the tables!I always eat there because the food is delicious, but unfortunately, we don't have the full service. I'm not trying to speak ill of the waitresses, but they need help. I see them running around answering phones, delivering orders, and cleaning tables. That's exploitation on the part of the owners, in my opinion. They'd rather lose customers than pay more staff.“

“I went today on a whim and tried out their Pupusa's. I tried the jalapeno and cheese, beans and cheese with chicharron, and the chicken and cheese. All three were big and had a great portion of all the stuffings. Great salsa and curtido as well“

“This Salvadoran restaurant is absolutely on point. From the moment you sit down, you can tell that every dish is made with care and authenticity. 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. There are two colorful wall paintings depicting life of Salvadorans. The cashier has a cheerful voice which enlightens your day. She's very friendly and knowledgeable.“

“great food. great service. I recommend this restaurant“

“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“

“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.“

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

“This is my third time visiting this place and the food is awesome not disappointed at all also the service is excellent the waitress name Jessica was very friendly and helpful and the food was on point will recommend this to family and friends.!!!“

“I've only had the pupusas, they are average. The customer service is super friendly, and received my order fairly quickly. The atmosphere feels like you're out in the beach on the restaurant side, they have sit down. The other side is a store, they seemed to be a little cluttered only because they want to sell a lot of convenient things.“

“I love this place they have good pupusas and a fruit salad drink that's so good the waitresses r always friendly and always check on you, I think this place is a great place to eat pupusas I love the pupusas special 1 pupusas rice and beans for $7.95 the rice and beans are very tasty 😋“

“First timer, and I am definitely picky when it comes to Salvadorian food and authenticity, this is very delicious and homey feel. .I had pupusas (revueltas, queso con loroco, chicharon) all very good not greasy at all. Sauces and curtido very good!!!!. Very clean restaurant and very friendly staff. Thank you“

“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'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.“

“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 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!“

“The owner prepares everything handmade right when you order it! The prices are low for such high quality food. I noticed a lot of people called ahead to order to go but I enjoy eating there. The pork & cheese, also chicken & cheese pupusas are fantastic! The owner was helpful & her husband is always nice. The menu, which is laid out well. Clean restroom, authentic decor, nice variety of drinks. Music is at a high volume. Yummy spicy curtido and the red sauce is just right, with good spices. So far I have brought two new friends to this place and I will keep bringing more here. I'm excited to have an authentic El Salvadorian restaurant in Fullerton!“

“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!“

“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.“

“litterly everything is great here . so glad to have some great tacos in town .they are great people too . over just great experience you will love it .“

“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!“

The pupusas are delicious and made just right, and their mariscos dishes are fresh and flavorful. Definitely worth checking out if you want a variety of traditional options all in one place.“

“They have the best Pupusas I’ve ever had. 😋“

“Love this place!! I’ve been coming here for the past 5?years, and they never disappoint. Pupusas are made with the perfect ratio of masa and what ever meat or cheese u want. My favorite is the Salpicon! It’s a shredded beef plate, which includes rice, beans, sour cream, and three of the typical tortillas, like the ones my grandma used to make!! Oh… and don’t forget the plátanos fritos for desert.“

“Muy buena comida y un ambiente familias ,“

I really love the burritos and the tacos. My husband enjoys the sopes. It's clean and the staff is super friendly.“
