My fiancé introduced me to this place. He and his family come here often, and his aunt who lives down the street usually gets takeout from here for family gatherings. The pupusas were delicious! We also tried the desayuno Salvadoreño and yuca cocida con chicharrón. Of course, I had to wash it all down with an ensalada de fruta! And at $4.25 for a regular size drink. it's a great deal. Great food and good service. It does get busy, so expect a little wait for your food, but it's worth it! Reasonable prices! read more

I had no idea this was the sister restaurant to the one down the street, El Buen Gusto, until I saw the menu and asked to confirm. Family run Mexican and Salvadoran restaurant with delicious authentic and traditional meals. I always get their pupusas and carnitas and they don't disappoint. Sometimes I order a 32 oz to go cup of refried beans because they're so good. I bet they use the lard from the carnitas; delicious!!! Highly recommend this restaurant!!! read more

My previous experience here has mostly been ordering pupusas for pick-up. Today we met with some friends visiting from out-of-state. The restaurant was very busy, which is a great sign. Lunch time on a Monday. I can't remember if Bueno Gusto was ever that busy. We had a large party, so we got to sit at the round table. We all ordered their pupusas, which were good as always. My son got the carne asada tacos, which he enjoyed, now that he has become more adventurous with his eating habits. I'm very glad to have this restaurant near me and that they are doing well. I highly recommend them! read more

Wow! This reminded me of my mom's home cooking! The food was amazing! Taste was perfection! I had the carne guisada plate, my wife had the Salpicón with casamiento and the kids had pupusas! All had authentic Salvadoran flavor. I'm from the SGV but definitely would return. The service was great minus a little glitch with a pupusa we ordered! Overall the place was great! Prices were reasonable and enjoyed the vibe and colors of the place! Reminded me of the culture and ambiance! Will say loved the refrescos de Cevada and Ensalada típico drinks of El Salvador! read more

Me siento muy decepcionado con este negocio. Hice un pedido por teléfono para recoger, y cuando llegué a casa, me di cuenta de que la porción de carne no era de un tamaño razonable ni estándar, especialmente para el precio que pagué. Honestamente, esperaba más por lo que me cobraron. No creo que vuelva a ordenar aquí si no mejoran la calidad y el valor de sus porciones. I am very disappointed with this business. I placed a pickup order over the phone, and when I got home, I realized the portion of meat was neither a reasonable nor a standard size, especially for the price I paid. Honestly, I expected more for what they charged me. I don't think I'll be ordering from here again unless they improve the quality and value of their portions. read more

Yummy, comfortable, fair prices, generous portions. It's a cute spot and wonderful to go with family or friends. The enchiladas, pupusas, burritos, yucca, and tacos are all very yummy. They have a pretty extensive breakfast menu too. Friendly service. I've been many times. read more

Authentic restaurant recommended by Salvadorans with speedy service. Casual ambiance with brightly painted murals on the walls and plenty of tv screens. The food tastes authentic, homemade and delicious. The pupusas, yucca frita con chicharrón, carne guisado, and the pastelitos de carne are worth ordering. Parking is limited. read more

I order two orders of empanadas, in Guatemala we call them rellenitos. Easy to order over the phone and pick up was about twenty minutes. Quick. Kind staff and I was in and out in no time. My grandmother enjoyed them! We got the ones with frijoles but they also offer them with leche. I wish my photo did it better justice. I look forward to trying some of their dishes and not just their desserts next time. read more

El Amoroso - Empanadas (rellenitos ) - Mexican Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The staff seems friendly as always when I've visited the restaurant before. It's spacious seems to be enough seating around , you don't wait around long to make a line unless you're going to the front to pay or order food at the cashier. The food has been good so far when I gone but sometimes it's not always hot enough when they get it to you. Mine seems to be warm. This last time I visited the server seemed to be rushing, it wasn't too busy around I feel like she was in a rush to get our order and walk away. Although they have a new system implemented which seems good how they take your order. I did mention what I wanted the first time it came wrong I did speak up and say it wasn't what I wanted. The second time they brought it almost right. I just left it as is. Once I started to try and eat I noticed 2 hairs around my eggs. I felt sick I told the server as soon as he came by. We had to wait and ask for water they didn't offer any as soon as we got there, they brought us 2 cups of water one had a piece of corn inside the water. went and had another order made that one came and it seemed good, I just didn't have much of an appetite after I had seen that on my food. :( if the cooks aren't wearing any hairnets or being careful they should be more cautious about their food and surroundings. They did not comp my food or offer anything else . I paid full price and we left. I work in hospitality I would've given my guest the food free of charge . read more

Our experience was wonderful at El Amoroso Restaurant, we celebrated a Birthday party we choice this restaurant, we spoke with the owner Isabel we explain our plans to for the restaurant to prepare a menu for the party, for starter Yuca Frita , Pupusas Revueltas , Pupusas De Quezo, Pupusas Beans with Loroco, Chicken Nachos , Our favorite Beef Chicken Pork Parillada couple of dishes for 25 people party size. Also the owner let us decorate part of the restaurant our way the tables, chairs we brought flowers and our own Cake.... Let's just say the food was amazing and on top of all that we still had food left over to take home at a adorable price $$$.$$ lower what it seems on the dollar symbols less them what you would pay else where.... Thank Staff at El Amaroso Restaurant, we know it's a small place and food it made at the moment cook fresh , which can take time and also waiters and waitresses are short stuff also at the kitchen which can take time ,our guest where please with service knowing the restaurant could get busy...!I recommend plan ahead of time. read more

I've been coming here for several years. They have excellent pupusas. Not greasy. Good masa to filling ratio. Very good curtido (pickled cabbage ) to go with the pupusas. When it's cold out, I enjoy their elote atole ( sweet corn gruel beverage). The chicken soup is excellent; served Salvadoreño style with grilled chicken on the side and a bowl of rice. Many of the waitstaff have worked here for several years. They are professional and attentive. Writing this review makes me want to drop by for lunch! read more

My favorite restaurant for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Affordable, good, sweet staff and it's authentic

This used to be one of my favorite places to go, but their service has really gone down ever since they hired new servers. I went there a few weeks ago and the server spoke to me in Spanish. I politely told him my Spanish is extremely limited, and just kept speaking to me in Spanish in a very aggressive tone. I never felt more unwelcome at a restaurant before. I went there again today, and I got a different server. The young lady was good enough not to show any hostility towards me because I didn't speak much Spanish. But it was all downhill from there. I ordered a beef soup and it took a long time to get it. I got a bowl of soup with one uncut piece of meat with just a soon, but no fork or knife to cut the meat. She left and never once came to check if everything was ok or if I needed anything else. The soup was way too salty, the rice and the meat were undercooked. It's very disappointing how this place has gone down read more

Yummy pupusas for sure just make sure if you don't care for Loroco like me that you specifically ask for none in your bean and cheese... platanos were ripe and cooked to perfection! I will be back for their breakfast soon. Great service and friendly servers. read more

Love coming here. They always have fresh and delicious pupusas! Today I tried the pan con pollo and it was so big and flavorful! Definitely the best pupusa resturant in town. read more

Best pupusas in frogtown. I order ahead at lunch and pick it up from the counter service area and everything is always packed nicely. The pupusa is big enough for me to eat and feel full but if I'm really hungry I get a taco also and it's all under $10 and crazy good. read more

This restaurant really has an authentic feel to it with all the Salvadoran relic's on the wall representing the culture and the life of El Salvador. I never had a problem with my orders and the waitreses are really laid back as they take your order with ease. The food goes a long way with taste and love. From the Pupusas order any kind they are all delicious! To the sopa de res, the salpicon is a must try! (Fine lean beef mix with radish, onion, & mint leaves) Platanos, casamiento ( rice & beans married together for a flavorful blend). Try the chapurrado con quesadilla sweet bread. Overall it's a great place to enjoy. 5 stars in my books from breakfast plates to dinner! Enjoy read more

I would never step foot into this place again. The older Lady who is Manager/ manages this location does not know the meaning of good customer service or making a customer happy. Be careful with the pupusa here. I ordered some to go and found a huge white hair wrapped up on all my pupusa. When I contacted her, she told me that nobody there had any white hair, when clearly if you come here. You know she bags of the food and she has a scalp full of white hair. It's one thing to deny and not step up to the mistakes but to not make the customer happy? That's messing up your business. I understand that they're small business so a refund is not guaranteed but not making the effort to replace the food that had to be tossed that I spent money on is ridiculous. That just showed me I would never come here again! Just a heads up and be careful. read more

I love their service and pupusas!!! The owner is welcoming and has great customer service. One of my favorite spots

This place used to be one of my favorites, the food isn't tasty nor tastes fresh anymore. Portions of the order are hot and others cold, very inconsistent. I will not be returning. read more

This place caught my eyes and had to try it. My family embarked on a food experience unlike any we had experienced. Just keep in mind it does take awhile to get serve but good things come to those who wait. Very nice ambience and friendly service. Food is tasty and many choices in the menu. This is by far at the top of the list for Salvadoran food. The others on my list are . . . read more

Good here is ok. Today I went with my wife. She ordered one pupusa and yuka con chicharrón . Jose took our order. It was delivered by another lady. My wife asked her for her yuca. The lady acted like she was going to go and check on it. 10 min later Jose came back and acted all confused. We told him that we didn't receive the complete order. He proceeded to argue that my wife had not order the yuca. In other words he was calling her a lier. I told him that I heard her ordering it. He kept insisting that she didn't and finally he said that he guesses he didn't hear. Bad customer service from both servers. read more

Let's start with parking! Parking is difficult to find. There are about 5-7 spaces. "Oh! Let me park on the street!" Nope. Think again! It's complicated there too. Long wait times. Perhaps it's due to the fact that it is because they are understaffed. I used to come here every so often, but stooped because of the wait time. It seems as if they go through staff members. Always new faces. Food is great, but not worth the wait. If you really would like to eat here... I recommend calling and ordering and add another wait time on top of whatever estimated time they have told you. Also, for mommies!! No Koala Kare here (changing table). read more

This is the worst restaurant ever. The service is the worst and I've been lied to on multiple occasions about the way my food was cooked. They also promised my food in 40 minutes, I gave them 50 minutes and my food was ready in 2 hrs it's ridiculous. Total waste of time and they act like they are doing me a favor, do not waste your time here do yourself a favor. Este es el peor restaurante que existe. El servicio es pesimo y me an mentido en multiples ocaciones sobre como mi comida es cocinada. Me prometen la comida en 40 minutos y les di 50 y estaba lista en 2 horas, una ridicules. No pierdan su tiempo. La peor de la cosa que actuan como que me estan haciendo el favor. Aganse un favor y no pierdan su tiempo y dinero. read more

This place has changed in service since they are no longer El Buen Gusto. I've been coming here for a little over 8 years. Food is good but kinda pricey. I have gone twice since they have changed there name and it's sad to say that their customer service is so bad. Wait time for pick up was usually 10- 15 min now expect 30 - 1 hour. Along with that they have also become super stingy with the portions that they serve along with being messy. read more
