I love this place, and not just because it's the only non-taco truck restaurant within walking distance of my house. The shrimp and bean and cheese and pork pupusas are all fantastic and ridiculously cheap, but my personal feeling is that no pupusa dinner is complete wtihout casamiento (a totally addictive mixture of black beans and rice) and an order of plaintains. Gringa tip: if you get your pupusas to go, don't make the mistake of opening the bag and thinking, "What's this weird-looking salad that's dripping all over everything?" and throwing it away... because the weird-looking salad is actually a delicious pupusa topping, along with the red sauce that comes in little Baggies. read more

Love the pastelitos from here but their services is TERRIBLE!!! And hate the fact that the food takes forever. They have shakes on their menu but when you order they never have it. This restaurant used to get full all the time. Now is so empty. Probably do to extremely slow service. Went there with a friend and she ordered shake and a soda. The lady brought the shake and never brought the soda. When we asked for the soda she said "I thought you didn't want it anymore because you for a shake". Why would she suppose we didn't want the soda. So annoying. She should have just brought. It's our problem of we drank it or not. read more

I would have given it a lower rating but the pupusas were good, the Queso one was very good and so was the one with mushrooms. I went with my friend who took me there, but the service was horrible. The waitress was snotty and hardly came to our table. She took a long time and hardly even looked at us, when we asked her for the check she kept helping other people and about ten minutes later she brought it after we asked another waitress. We decided to get up and go to the register to pay since we didn't want to wait another 10 minutes for her to acknowledge us. If you come here the food is great, the service not at all! read more

This is a great neighborhood spot. I love their pupusas, but all their other dishes are great as well. The food takes a little while, but it's because it's freshly made to order. Everything tasted home made. The service is super friendly and their prices are very cheap. I was pleasantly impressed. read more

I've ordered pupusas from here and thrown a few pupusa parties. Never disappointed. Everyone is always happy and the pupusas always satisfy. I LOVE that they have such an extensive menu. there's something for everybody. I'm most def a fan. read more

I loved the plantanos with cream and beans (It seems like they pan-fry them instead of deep frying, which is a plus.) I also had a cheese and pork pupusa and a plain cheese one. I prefered the plain one but both were really good. I've had better but it was still good enough and a lot closer than other Salvadorean places. Oh, and they don't deliver like Yelp says they do. read more

Totally worth it. We took a detour just to have lunch here. Good thing we decided to give it a try. Fantastic food! We ordered mojarra frita, plátano maduro with frijoles and crema, and pupusas revueltas. I just wish my stomach was bigger! The waitress was very nice, the place is really clean and again, the food! The fooooood! You will never regret this. read more

I tried this place today for the first time and decided to post. All I had was pupusas and pastelitos, but they were both really good. My boyfriend is from El Salvador so I've tried many pupusas, even his mother's home made ones. These were just as good, if not better. :) The service isn't terrible, you're getting FRESH pupusas. They take time to make. So no, don't expect to sit down, order, and have them in front of you in 5 minutes. I probably had my order in about 15. Definitely going back! read more

Ordered: 2 bean and cheese pupusas and lemonade/limeade; the order comes with a side of curtido and salsa. PROS -- Waitress was friendly and quick to take my order. Parking is limited and shared with other stores in the small strip mall. Seating available, but this is a small hole-in-the-wall type of restaurant. Reasonable prices. Lemonade is fresh squeezed (green limes) CONS -- Food takes a while to be served; keep in mind that they make pupusas from SCRATCH. This is not the place to come if you're expecting fast food. Avoid Sunday mornings. Overall: The bean and cheese pupusas, salsa, curtido, and lemonade are to DIE for! read more

So i bought a coupon on lahalfoff.com for two places: mirale and con sabor. It was my first time buying a discount from them, so I was a little sketched out. Anyway, I received the gift certificates and thought, "okay, i guess lahalfoff isnt as shady as i thought it was." but that was BEFORE i went to go eat at mirale. what do you know, the place was freakin closed down. how embarassing, i spent 12.50 on a gift certificate to a place that was no longer in business. eff you, lahalfoff! I then hurried to go use the con sabor gift certificate before any shenanigans occurred there too. It was my first time eating el salvadoran food. I ordered the pork and cheese pupusa and the chile relleno. The pupusa was pretty freakin tasty. It was basically a thick quesadilla, made with the corn shell that tamales are made off. The pork and cheese are stuffed inside, so it explodes once you bite into it. Tasty and full of grease. I then turned to the chile relleno dish. It's interesting; the beans were like mixed with some of the rice to form some type of paste-thing. It was perfectly seasoned and tender. As for the chile relleno, let's just say I've had better. Now I'm a guy who loves grease, but this chile relleno was wayy too much. The outside was soggy and DRIPPING in oil, so much that when i bit into it, it exploded in my mouth. To be honest, the chile relleno was like a sponge that soaked up all the oil. Felt a little heavy coming out of the restaurant, but im glad i was able to empty my food babies at the nearby gas station. To sum up my experience, I'd come back for the pupusas cause theyre tasty and dirt cheap, but that's about it. read more

Best pupusas ive ever tried. Good price and reallyyy really good taste. I recommend Cheese, chicharon, bacon, jalapeño, beef and turkey. read more

Papusas are made fresh to order. That being said, they take a little longer than usual, especially if you come for dinner when it's busy. But be patient, it's worth the wait! I got 3 papusas: Chicharron, Revueltas, and Queso con frijoles. My favorite was the revueltas. The service here is decent and I will be back! read more

The best pupusas I have had. They have so many choices of fillings. It is hard to decide. The pupusas are all made fresh to order. It can mean a long wait. But these little packets of joy are worth it. You will be happy when your food arrives. They do offer to go as well, and if you choose this option, it behooves you to order before you get there, that way you won't have to wait for your little bit of joy to come out of the kitchen. Service has been welcoming each time I have been there. Authentic in every way. read more

Even with an interest in all things Latin America I had never tried pupusas before. At the insistence of a friend online, I looked into the matter. When I go up to LA to stay with the GF, I ride my bike into the Controlled Substance Sound Labs label office to help out. It's about a 20 minute ride depending on the route I take. I had noticed this "pupuseria" sign at this little strip mall on Venice. I had been intending to check it out for a while and finally stopped in for lunch. Quite little spot and sat down at a warm window. Went with a calabaza (squash), a reveultas con todo (cheese, pork, beens, and loroco plant), and tamarindo to wash it down. Server brought me some mildly spicy pickled carrots/cabbage mix and some thinned out red salsa (also not spicy enough for me). The pupusas were warm, gooey w cheese, and tasty. Not too filling as I had to get on with my ride. Just right. Damn good and cheap as hell ($2 calabaza, $2.30 reveultas, $2.25 tamarindo). Reminded me of SD mexi food prices. Tasty recessionista food like this is what it takes to get by in these troubled times! read more

My boyfriend did his homework before taking me to this restaurant so I didn't really mull over the menu as he read the reviews below and knew just what was best. We had the revueltas, camaron, and chicharon pupusas... by far the revuelatas (pork and cheese) was the beast but my boyfriend disagreed and preferred the shrimp. We also had the tamales de elote, steamed, which were really sweet and came with a sour cream/cream cheese topping and some black bean sauce. Yummy!! I would return and would recommend. read more

Why oh why do they serve the best banana milk shakes in town? I dunno, but it's just one of those random things to expect when you come to this cute little, sit down, pupuseria. I love pupusas, and was looking for a place I could go and sit down and order some and not have to get them from the lady on the corner or in the Housing Projects a couple of blocks away. A friend told me about this place and I couldn't believe it (there aren't too many Salvadorean restaurants on the Westside). The parking lot is small and sometimes the food takes a while, but it's well worth the wait. It is also....VERY CHEAP. 12 dollars for 2 to have 2 pupusas each, drinks, and a side of fried plantains with Salvadorean sour cream and refried black beans...WHAT A BARGAIN! read more

My family and I are regulars here Food: The pupusas are always well made. We don't like places that make them with little to no stuffing. I like mine oozing with cheese. Anyway, lately they seem to have gotten smaller, but they are still very tasty. The empanadas are great! My grandmother loves the salpicon. Service: I think that this place is family owned, but I'm not sure if it's family run. Service varies depending on who's there. Sometimes, they are great, other times service is really slow and you don't even get checked on. Still, it's not enough to keep us from going. read more

I love that their food is very authentic. Coming from a first generation American with central american parents, I know what refried beans, pupusas, platanos and salpicon tastes like, and this place really captures that authentic flavor. They also serve black beans which I absolutely love! Their breakfast plates are affordable and delish. I deducted a star because the place could use a visual revamp and service is always slow. However, I can appreciate that they are taking their time to make the food fresh. read more

Good food! Poor service, Hope they weren't too stingy on silverware, Paper plates , disposable silverware and bad waitress attitude, Food was serve on a timely matter but again coffee was serve on a disposable cup, Save the world one cup or paper plate at a time!!!!!!! read more

Late afternoon on a Sunday, there are a couple couples, a large family, someone enjoying the food alone and a couple of folks like me, waiting for take out. Servers are kind and quick. I've only ever had pupusas here. But it is absolutely my go to Salvadorean spot. I can say with conviction: revuelta con todo is delicious! read more

The only other place I've ever eaten Pupusas at were actually in El Salvador so take my review with a grain of salt. It's not that they weren't bad - but great. It seemed like most were too dry save for the ones that had cheese and beans. The fried pork (which I was really looking forward to), had to be drowned in salsa and curtido (the cabbage salad stuff) before I could slide it down the gullet... so not exactly the most appetizing. I also had one of their chicken dishes (totally forgot the name but numero dos on the menu under pollo) and that wasn't bad at all. Chicken was tender and juicy although they gave you two legs - so not a whole lot of meat but between the rice, beans, salad and plantains - this $9.50 meal is totally worth it. Hint: Get the Insalate drink! It's sweet juice made from a ton of fruits and veggies. Looks kind of crazy but it's super delicious. Service was fine when I went but I did go with a Salvadoran friend. I just let her order and ask for takeout boxes. Parking is a nightmare during dinnertime! I've been for lunch and it was no problem but for dinner, I seriously had to circle the block 4 times. I noticed alot of people would just park in the lot and wait for people to leave so they could take their spaces. read more

I f'ing LOVE this place. Carlos, the owner, is cool (even though he won't tell me the recipe for their black beans), and Sylvia, the server, is just lovely. Ever lovlier are the pupusas. They have every kind imaginable, but I stick with revueltas con todo. They're perfectly made with their awesome black beans, chicharrones, queso, y loroco. And the cheese oozes out and gets all fried and crispy like a great Greek saganaki. Their curtido is perfect, not so spicy that it overtakes the flavor of the pupusa, but with a little heat, and plenty of vinegar tang and whole leaf oregano. Also wonderful are their platanos con crema y frijoles. As I've said, their black beans are like crack, sooo good and addictive. The platnos and simply fried, but not too oily, and their crema is nice and thick, not too liquidy and oozy. I understand what Miguel said below about the platanos not being sweet, but I dig, but I love 'em as is. Just don't expect them to be crispy and sweet. The chicken soup is great, too, as I imagine, is the rest of the stuff. I'll be back soon! read more

My #1 place to get pupusas by far. Revueltas con todo are my favorite of all. Top them off with curtido and special salsa and take a big bite filled with pork, beans and hot gooey cheese. They're so good. Pair them off with a side of casamiento which is a medley of rice and beans and finish it off with fried plantains and a side of cream which tastes more like a sweet custard..makes my mouth water each and every time. read more

Con Sabor Restaurant - Pupusa with loads of curtido - Latin American Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Pupusas are great but to go orders suck! I ordered plantains with beans and cream and when i got home the plantains were all mashed up and balled up together and leaking a nasty amount of oil.. Check your to go orders! I would have said something but it wasnt worth the drive back..all customers should get good quality food. read more

These pupusas are the best in the area. Good price and taste good. And they even take credit cards which is super convenient

A wonderful place and the pupusas are. Deliciuos. There are no words that i can use to describe this place. The only way to get real authentic and delicious pupusas, is to have a freind or family member whose origins are from el salvador. I know when it's a good and a bad pupusa so if u want to taste the flavor of the salvadoran pupusas go over this restaurant. read more

Delicious pupusas. So many flavors available, but with pork, cheese, and loroco... damn, yum. Great curtido, horchata is Salvadoran and dark (kinda like coffee), and platanos con crema and frijoles, so good. Casamiento also delicious! Great service! Fantastic experience! read more

Amazing pupusas! The best I've had. The ladies working there are very pleasant. I'm giving them 5 stars for food and friendly service. The wait time was ridiculous but I'll know that for the next time I order. I called in an order for pick up 5:55pm. They said to pick it up in 25 minutes (so 6:20). I waited there from 6:20-6:45 so it took 50 minutes to make 8 pupusas. The place was full and they had many more pick up customers. I would suggest they give more accurate ETAs to avoid any service issues. But again they were worth the wait! read more

AUTHENTIC. This is a hole in the wall joint, so when you enter, you feel like you are traveling and getting the real deal. No fancy furniture or decor. Place is small and intimate. Service is awesome. Pupusas are a must. Good luck picking which one to order, and at $2 each, you do not have to resort to just one. Take home the leftovers. They are easily reheatable in a toaster oven, or heaven forbid a microwave. Plantains and beans are to die for... NOTEWORTHY, plentiful seafood selection. Show up hungry, and don't tell your personal trainer. read more

I randomly stopped here this afternoon before getting on the freeway because I was starving and I love pupusas. Had no idea what I was getting myself into and didn't even check yelp before I decided to turn into their parking lot (unheard of for me). My spontaneity paid off because these pupusas were DELICIOUS. I ordered 4 cheese (I LOVE cheese), one broccoli, one squash, one chicken and a bean/cheese/pork/veggie pupusa to go. 25 minutes later (they were busy with lots of family dinners), my pupusas came out piping hot. You should know, I'm not one of those people who complains when my food arrives too hot. I love it when that happens. Feels fresher to me. I painstakingly pulled apart the chicken pupusa at the red lights on my drive home, and it was delicious. Ground chicken with bits of carrots and lots of melted cheese. Score! I've had pupusas in the past that don't have cheese in them (just the main ingredient) and they end up tasting dry and falling apart. Once I got home, I was pleasantly surprised to find they ALL contained melted cheese, and were all flavored deliciously. I can see why this tiny place in a strip mall next to a $.99 store was packed at 2pm on a Sunday. These pupusas are TASTY, and now I will go out of my way to get them again. Love finding new food discoveries! read more

Pupusas come either one of three ways: Too dry, too oily, or perfectly somewhere in the middle. "Perfectly somewhere in the middle" is a very difficult way to get pupusas in LA. Con Sabor has the best "somewhere in the middle" pupusas in Los Angeles. There may be other places in Los Angeles that make pupusas in this happy medium between too dry and too oily, but I can't imagine them being better than then pupusas at Con Sabor. Although I haven't had the majority of items on the menu here, most everything that I recall has been excellent. Their horchata is very different than any other horchata I've tasted. The rice has been browned maybe before the horchata process begins. It's very good, but very different. The ambiance leaves much to be desired, and the wait-staff seems to be in a constant turnover and either seems overwhelmed or clueless at the same time being pleasant and respectful. But if you've never had pupusas, have them here and you wont be disappointed. We've been coming here for years, and for the quality of food we get for the price we pay, Con Sabor will continue to be our go-to pupuseria. read more
