La Salvadorena Restaurant

I had never had a pupusa and now I am sold. We were just looking for something a bit different and this restaurant kept coming up with Google and Yelp, so we gave it a try. While we were waiting for our food, I kept seeing people come in to pick up theirs, I think they do a lot of business. We will be back!

I don’t know what to say about this place. I’ve been going for I think 15 years now? I can’t believe it! We are so lucky to have them here. It has been so consistent and such a part of our food plan as a family that i just can’t imagine life without them. I’m so grateful they are here and healthy and well. They have been so conscientious and safe during the pandemic. Their food or service has never suffered and maybe even improved. They’re kind and thorough and so accurate with orders. Thank you for all of the wonderful meals!

This is from a week ago. I was on my way to Westport to try to get back into surfing and stopped here for lunch. Being from Los Angeles, I didn't have any great expectations about the food here. Boy, was I wrong. I got a variety of pupusas and they were fantastic, very similar to the far more numerous and competitive restaurants in southern California. Make sure you ask for extra salsa (sauce) and pickled vegetables. Mine was a take out order. I think some of the pupusa spicing is toned down a little to fit local tastes better, but adding the extras makes up for it. I'll be back.
