I’ve never had El Salvadoran food before but one of the waiters was kind enough to walk me through the menu during a busy time.

Well, sadly, I will have to find a new pupuseria. For many years, this one had my business without fail until recently. The pupusas have suffered a drastic change along with the salsas and the curtido. I thank them for the good times, for I believe they can turn it around back to the way it was. But until that happens, I won’t be coming back.

Ordered the pork papusa and the bean and cheese papusa, both came out piping hot having been made fresh. The cooks were singing over the grill as food cooked, atmosphere was welcoming, friendly, familial. Food was absolutely delicious, and worth the wait. Will definitely be back.

WORST experience EVER. I’m very embarrassed on how they treated me and my friends. They never had pupusas so I recommended them to try it. These girls working were laughing & making fun of us. They blasted the music off a speaker they brought in. It was like a Club where we were yelling to hear each other & kept asking each other to repeat what the other said. It gave us a headache.

Food is good good size very well-made. It just takes long to get your food but it’s understandable. It’s done fresh and by hand so if you cannot wait go to your regular local fast food location of choice.

Very disappointed, because I order a simple nachos for 10.50 as show in your escreen, and I paid 11.50, I asked the cashier because I feel confuesed, she givime excuses about it , but why you have one price and pay more?

This is the 3rd or 4th iteration of El Chinaco. It has recently undergone an ownership change. However, the pupusas are still HUGE – portions are veeeeery generous – and it’s still the best place to get pupusas in Southern California. Hell, I might go insofar as to say that they are even better than in El Salvador! (With the exception of maybe La Suiza, but, then you’d have to pay 800 bucks for a roundtrip ticket and try them out yourself.)
