Salvadoran Restaurants near Wilmington, CA

“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.“

“good pupusas across from Nogales High“

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

“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!“

“Food is really good, delicious popusas!“

“ohhh yes best pupusas place in south bay“

“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“

“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“

“Don’t let the city scare you, this is a very nice and clean restaurant.

The food is very good, they serve both Salvadoran and Mexican food. I have only tasted the Salvadoran food, pupusas, sopa de pata, traditional breakfast etc. the dining area is spacious and will accommodate a large family. If you want authentic tasting pupusas or Salvadoran food this would be the place to eat.

There is plenty of onsite parking for both the restaurant and the other business.“

“The lady knows my voice! She automatically says Hola Josefina! Yesterday, she made me a lupus with cheese and CALABASITAS! She makes tamales. The chicken ones are so good. I bought a dozen at 10 am. took them home by 300pm they were gone. She takes orders ANYTIME and makes hundreds of them for CHRISTMAS! I love her!“

“Buena la comida 🥘 y barato“

“The pupusas are great. The black beans super delicious and the platanos fritos.
I called ahead for pick up it took about 20 mins. Food is great will be coming back to try there other stuff on the menu. Totally recommend this place.
Parking is limited. I parked on the street.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Homey restaurant that serves up fresh homemade El Salvadoran food. Everything was fresh and good. The fried plantains with black beans and eggs with fresh tortillas I feel we're meant for pupusas which works for me. CASH ONLY. Street parking only with locals as most customers like myself. Hole in the wall special!! And know the homeless try to come in and beg for money which is interesting because the paying customers just ignore. Provecho.“

“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...“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“Food is good staff is good only downsides is takes awhile for the food maybe 30 minutes average? On top of that expect to be charged arm and a leg which is expected specially the food is good so thats ok the one thing i dislike is how i didnt like a certain drink and they returned it but they still charged for the drink even if its been exchanged so be careful no one should be charged to return or exchange a drink like horchata or etc. Other than that food is good atmosphere is great!“

“The food was great, service not so great my server will take forever to check on tables and make sure if everything was good . Also when I asked for something she will forget. The place inside was so hot they need air condition or at list a fan. I recommend to call for a pick up order instead do not dine in.“

“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 ??“

“Muy buena comida y económica“

“It's a very mom and pop shop, but they are worth a visit!
I've only had the pupusa so far, but I am excited to try their other dishes as everything smells extraordinary.
The pupusa were cooked perfectly, with that little bit of crispy edges! So good!
Their curtido was really fresh too! I normally like a pickle curtido but theirs was really fresh and nice!
The salsa roja was really nice too.
Everything made sense together and was quite delicious!
I can't wait to try more and thank you so much!“

“The food is good, the service and atmosphere are not, be careful, check the receipt when you pay the 24dls that they had to charge, they charged me 257.00 and to get the money back I had to go several times until they returned it to me after 2 weeks.“

“Ordered Sopa de Patas ...Well condimented as it should be .All ingredients accounted for : according to childhood/teenage memories of my favorite before mentioned soup .A large party ( 18 ) was to my left.Given the waitresses the benefit of the doubt for somewhat SLOW service .Why they were playing Mexican music in a 100% Salvadoran restaurant ?!?!?!?“

“This pupusería had the BEST spicy salsa anywhere in LB and neighboring areas. It's so good and goes great on their pupusas or anything else. Their pupusas are also really good. Highly recommend to call in your order in advance and BE PATIENT. They're made fresh and do take a while. A lot of the bad reviews for this restaurant are their wait times so just be patient! It's worth it and reasonably priced.“

“My first time trying the pupusas and they were amazing! I got the revuelta, queso con loroco, and calabaza, they were all big and filled with the tasty filling. I also got the Salvadoran horchata and it was the perfect amount of sweetness. Really sweet service, I would come back.“

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

“5 stars to the food, it tastes really good and ingredients are good quality. This is my favorite spot to get Salvadorian breakfast.
Service is not great they are very dry and direct. And also they take their time making the food. I highly suggest to call and order ahead.“

“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.“

“Buena comida ambiente familiar música an vivo“

“The best leg soup.
Since 2001, it has been my favorite spot for Indian chicken soup, pata soup, and delicious pupusas. The only place that sells you special pupusas for $0.99 from Monday to Friday.
And of course my favorites: cheese with loroco. Coupled with always cordial and friendly service.
And one more, very generous with the curtido for the pupusas.
Turn up. On the weekends it gets good.“

“Amazing Popusas!!! In the area of compton. Their hot sauce is suprising hot!!! Please dont comsume if u dont like spicy!! Lol.. but i love it! Must try an great price! I take to family an friend they luv it an as a mex i approve!!! Jst rem they make fresh wait time is 20mins!! +“

“I love this place the food is great and the prices are even better! I recommend it all the time...“

“Absolutely amazing, so many authentic dishes you can choose from. Pupusas, gorditas, cocktails, let me mention an awesome take out deal on the pupusas 10 for $10. Budget friendly and won't break the bank for real flavors that make you return to La Ceiba. They have karaoke during the week, people seem to love the drink specials in the evening.“

“The pupusas, beef soup and leg soup are my favorites, but the truth is everything is delicious ?
