Greeted immediately as I walked through the door. I asked where I could be seated and I'm assuming since it wasn't busy they offered anywhere I liked. The ladies are very attentive and nice. Good didn't take much to come out and may I say "chefs kiss". Made me miss back home so much. I decided to go with an horchata instead of the typical coffee because it was HOT that day. I love how it's simple but yet reminds you of your roots when you sit down and see all the decor. Kinda pricey but worth it. The portions are good enough to share. Definitely recommend the place! read more

Cojutepeque Restaurant - Plátanos fritos con arroz, frijoles, crema huevos estrellados, tortillas hecho a mano y una horchata - Salvadoran Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Great family owned Salvadoran restaurant. The dining area is a sort of covered area that is mostly enclosed but still somewhat open to the elements in terms of wind and temperature. There are parking spots to either sides of the restaurant. Had dinner here with colleagues. We tried a lot of their dishes and took back leftovers - mojarra, pupusas, mariscada, yuca fritada, etc. Everything was super good. We were helped mainly by a sweet, older woman who was helpful and patient. Definitely recommend. read more

this place was vibrant and satisfying, the portions were big for the price. the flavors were overall good, although maybe not the most flavor-packed thing i have had. the chicken in cream was amazing as were the yucca. pork was okay. they walk around handing out free plain pupusas that were warm and so good. read more

Cojutepeque Restaurant - Pupusa Revuelta /Pork, Beans & Cheese - Salvadoran Near Me - Los Angeles, California

First and foremost the food was amazing. This was my first time having Salvadorian food and I was lucky to have the best of the best. The Platabos were sooo yummy, the yucca were amazing, papusas (chorizo and chicharonne), the shrimp, carne, tortillas, all of it was just so amazing. Lastly I had a 1/4 quesadilla for dessert and, I was very confused as to why a quesadilla would be dessert but I learned exactly what it was and boy was it delicious. I cannot wait to come back here. read more

Cojutepeque Restaurant - Excellent Salvadoran Breakfasts Steak and Eggs in front and Super Salvadoran Breakfast at top of photo - Salvadoran Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Service was amazing. The lady was very sweet and she was the only one trying to serve 4 to 5 tables at a time, and she always had a smile. The Pupusas were deliciously However, the breakfast, the rice and beans was stale hard, and it wasn't fresh. The eggs were a lot of things going on. It did not look appetizing, and everything else was good. I will definitely return just for the Pupusas read more

Es un asco, tanto la presentación como algunos platillos que sirven un servicio pésimo la mesera creo que es la Mil usos de ahí por lo que se ve en el Corte de las verduras los cuchillos no tienen filo, la limpieza del Patio tiene mucho que pensar, las mesas que hay las vi y estaban suciasaquí dejo fotos de lo que pedí para llevar y esas bolitas "de pollo" que me dieron están sin sabor y son verduras que seguro Las sacaron de algún caldo y nada de pollo.

UNREAL pupusas. You think you've had a good pupusas before? I'm sure you haven't until you've gone to Cojutepeque. I could eat the bean and cheese pupusa every day for the rest of my life. This place has a cozy, neighbor feel, and the food is simply unbeatable. read more

My partner and I came here for the first time we absolutely loved it. We lived here our entire lives and we would always pass by this restaurant. 10/10, service was perfect. For the food we got 2 pupusas revueltas, another one with cheese and shrimp and the last one with queso y frijoles. Lastly for our dessert we got plátanos Fritos, they were perfectly cooked and soft. read more

Cojutepeque Restaurant - Pollo Guisado - Salvadoran Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I neglected to mention in my last review that their pupusas and tamales de pollo are very good. I've had pupusas in LA, El Salvador, and my mom sells pupusas and these are in my top 10 in terms of favorites. I say all of these things as context that I have had a lot of pupusas in my years. I see quite a few reviews saying the staff are rude and unprofessional and that is not my experience at all. I have been there alone and spoken spanish and they have been nice to me. I have also been there with coworkers who don't speak spanish and only spoken in english and they are always nice to me. I also see them being nice to all the other patrons of which most sound like they are Salvadorians or latinos. read more

Updated review: I've ordered a few times through a delivery app and I've enjoyed the food. Pupusas are delicious. Horchata drink was also very delicious. My first phone order did not go through due to the fact that I was asked to prepay since it was the first time. I'll probably stick to ordering through a delivery app. Thank you read more

We went to have Breakfast to these place and the service is super slow. We asked for an order of tortillas and they never brought them to us. They were super slow. Not enough workers on a Thursday morning. The place was clean and nice but the services very slow. read more

My regret is not leaving. Waited 15 minutes just to order. Waited 50 minutes for our food with no drinks and when the food finally came, the buns were soggy and the pupusas were mostly masa. At some point I got up to ask about our food and the lady did not even know what to say. Additionally, I saw people that came in after my family and I get their items before we did. I'm aware Covid has affected small businesses but why cater to more people than you are able to efficiently manage. read more

I finally came back to this place after years of moving away from the neighborhood and I still think they are the best pupusas I've had!!! The lady attending customers was super nice over the phone when I ordered and in person when I arrived. Other customers around me just didn't listen about social distancing even after the employee kept telling them that only one person inside at a time to order , an elderly customer specifically wasn't listening , he didn't even have a mask on he was holding it in his hand and being rude to the employee. I know this is probably out of the restaurant's control just thought I'd mention it because it made me a little uncomfortable and the employees should be treated with respect and the ladies were so nice. Anyway, I'll be back soon for more pupusas!!! read more

Cojutepeque Restaurant - Pupusas - Salvadoran Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The best PUPUSAS hand down. I recommend this place for anyone looking for a good authentic Pupusa. I haven't tried any other dishes and they can also customize your Pupusa. I usually ask for laurel with cheese and you can pay $0.50 for extra lorroco or cheese. I ask for chicharrón with cheese. I asked one that had Laurel, cheese, chicharrón, beans, and chorizo it was wonderful. read more

I'm not sure why this place only has 3.5 stars but this is my favorite pupusa restaurant! It's a family owned business so the wait is a bit long but totally worth it! I usually get the pupusa de revueltas con chicharron and tamal de pollo. Their chicken tamale is soft and packed full of flavor while the pupusa has a great amount of filling. read more

Excellent pupusas!!! Really great beef soup too. I was very impressed with this spot and I will come back when I am back in LA.

I really wanted to like this place, I wanted to find that fulfilling Salvadoran flavor we all know and love. For the location where this place is this restaurant should be rocking. The cashier had the poorest and slowest attitude ever it took her 5 mini for her to acknowledge me. I was carrying out my order so I had called it in 30 minutes prior. The Pupusas I got them revueltas and they put beans like crazzy. Honestly for the 40 dollars I wasted I would much rather go eat on the streets for cheaper better and faster service. I apologize for this review but by all means stay the hell away from this place. read more

I ordered the pupusas revueltas de chicharron con queso and frijoles. Perfectly balanced, meaning that they were not greasy/oily at all but not dry either. I can't wait to go back and try other food from this place. Reasonable prices. read more

The ladies working the front of house are nice. They were friendly. With that being said, the food, the operations of the staff and service itself was subpar to say the least. The food was oily, and bland. It was nice to look at, but it was nothing more than aesthetic. I was disappointed. When we sat down, about 7 minutes later, someone asked if someone had asked us for our drinks. We said no, and proceeded to order them. Then, 10 minutes later, a different lady came up to us and asked us if we were ready to order. At this point, we still didn't have our menus. She came back with them and said she would be back to take our order. Well, someone else came about 5 minutes after and asked if someone had taken our order. We told her no, but that we were ready to order. My husbands pupusa came back first. Our breakfast dishes did not come for another 7 or so minutes. Once the food was served, not one person ever came back to check up on us. I was really looking forward to it, but, I was disappointed and won't be coming back. To the establishment, please have more operational control of the restaurant and season your food. Also, reduce the amount of oil you use. read more
