Salvadoran Restaurants near Wilmington, CA

“I have only been here once. I am only familiar with their pupusas. I recommend only one as they are large size. I would stick to the mixta, or ruevelta however they advertise it. That is simply a pupusa with chicaron, frijol y queso. (Fried pork, bean and cheese) And lastly you can't beat the price! It's a meal deal for sure! Enjoy!!“

“Food is really good, delicious popusas!“

“good pupusas across from Nogales High“

“Best pupusas. Nachos are a must! Sopa de res #1. Pescado frito great option“

“Never this restaurant was here until a friend shared it recently. Very good pupusas and tamales. The pupusa you’re a lot better than all the other restaurants I have checked out in the Southbay area. Still looking for that authentic Pupusa like the ones I had in San Salvador.“

“If you are craving authentic, comforting, and deeply flavorful Salvadoran cuisine, Puerto de Acajutla Restaurant is an absolute must-visit gem! I had a wonderful dining experience here. The standout feature is definitely their pupusas—they are made fresh to order, served piping hot, and have the perfect balance of a crispy exterior and a savory, rich filling. The curtido and salsa on the side are fresh and complement the meal beautifully. They also offer fantastic seafood dishes and traditional plates that showcase the true culinary heritage of El Salvador. The atmosphere is warm, casual, and incredibly welcoming, making you feel right at home the moment you walk through the door. The service is friendly, attentive, and efficient. A top-tier spot for a satisfying, high-quality meal. I highly recommend checking it out“

“Las Pupusas, buenísimas y que no falte la cola champán“

“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.“

“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!“

“Buena la comida 🥘 y barato“

“I stopped by El Cielo in Gardena and had a great experience. I got the enchiladas plate, with chicken inside with a side of rice and beans, and everything was flavorful and satisfying. It’s a solid spot for a delicious, no-fuss meal if you’re in the area! Definitely check it out. Awesome hole in the wall.“

“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.“

“We were in the mood for pupusas and this place hit the spot. The pupusas that had cheese looked a bit greasy but they were still delicious. Rice and beans were okay, just wished they would of sold us some tortillas on the side but they said they couldn’t do that.“

“The fact that everyone who rates the place less than a 5 star because of service and not food tells you everything you need to know. THE FOOD IS GOOD! Ive never had a problem with their service. They've always been polite and no nonsense. Ive eaten there ( small place) and also ordered it for take out. So , I recommend this place for their excellent, authentic food.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“What’s up my pupusa lovers I am making the review because this has some really really good pupusas and the customer service is amazing very polite Joanie is very nice and helpful and very professional has amazing customer service she should be employee of the month so if you are in the mood for Salvadoran for you should check the place out“

“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!“

“Came across this place while driving back home. I was in the mood for a pupusa with queso y frijoles! Mariela was super helpful, funny, and kind! I got my order to-go, but Mariela was still super attentive to my sister and I! The pupusas were delicious, the toppings were good as well. Definitely recommend this spot!“

“I have had pupusas all over the Los Angeles area. These are worth driving to Long Beach for. They are absolutely fantastic and the best I’ve had in the last eight years of traveling to LA. The fillings are very generous, and the slaw is excellent.The frijoles are so silky, smooth, and perfectly seasoned, I’m pretty sure angels eat them. Next time I come to LA I’m driving to Long Beach to come here.“

“Pupuseria Salvadorena is an absolute original taste of salvadorian popusa & for anyone craving authentic Salvadorian cuisine. Nestled in a vibrant location willow long beach , this place delivers the genuine flavors of El Salvador. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted by a clean, bustling atmosphere and fast, attentive service. The food is superb—whether you’re savoring the rich, hearty caldos (like the caldo de res or caldo de cerdo), or indulging in crispy empanadas, every bite is a taste of tradition. Don’t miss the horchata or the traditional Salvadoran juices—they’re a perfect pairing. The décor is equally impressive, with beautiful murals that depict Salvadoran landscapes and the rich culinary heritage of Salvadoran women. Parking can be tight in the back, but the experience inside is absolutely worth it. This is a must-visit spot for anyone seeking an authentic taste of El Salvador.“

“Delicious! It was our first time having Guatemalan / Salvadorian food as we don’t have this in Wisconsin and everything was great!“

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

“Genuinely the best pupusas I've had. They're awesome people (I speak terrible spanish but they put up with me), and their pupusas are divine.

Their chicharron pupusa and their pupusa loca are my go-to orders, and it never seizes to amaze me. They do an awesome job with the filling to masa ratio (LOTS of filling). 2 pupusas generally are enough for me, but I like to get 3+ and have leftovers.

Their curtido is good and their salsa is more like a tomato sauce than anything else, which is really nice for flavor cutting through the richness of the pupusas.

Please give them a whirl! They are great and I want to make sure they always have business to stay open.“

“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...“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“Muy buena comida y económica“

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

“food was delicious 😋 😍 👌“

“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“

“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 ??“

“Come here for a nice Salvi breakfast you'll love it! I've been coming here for years and I'm never disappointed. Family friendly food is consistent and it's local. I recommend the breakfast they have quite a bit of options and the pupusas are very good here. The curtido and salsa is also on point. I also like how well lit and clean the place is that's a big plus for me.“

“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.“

“Buena comida ambiente familiar música an vivo“

“Someone told me about this place. I drove back and forward and was unable to find the place. But finally I did. The place is small, cozy, clean, but fits many people.Pupusas were good, not salty, not greasy. Their drink, ensalada de fruta was refreshing, not too sweet 😊“

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

“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.“

“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!! +“
