This was my first time visiting this place. The parking inside the plaza was a bit crowded. The restaurant was small, with limited tables and seats, but it had a nice native home ambiance. The customer service was excellent, and the prices for the food were reasonable. I decided to order 3 pupusas - two revueltas and one con queso y chicharrón. The food was freshly made, which was perfect for the cold weather. My only issue was that they didn't provide enough condiments for my three pupusas. I should have asked for extra, but I wasn't sure if that would cost extra. Overall, the experience was great, and I will come back again. read more

El pipil restaurante - Pupusas Revueltas - Mexican Near Me - Sun Valley, California

Small little hole in the wall restaurant found it on Yelp last night. Small parking lot so had to park on the street on a Friday night. Hubby and I shared a carne asada torta (not pictured), a pupusa each and platanos fritos. The torta was ok, nothing crazy but was made with a nice fresh bolillo. The pupusa was a great size, had good flavor and was not greasy! But the star of the night were the platanos fritos, delicious! read more

El pipil restaurante - Platanos Fritos & Revueltas Pupusa - Mexican Near Me - Sun Valley, California

Randomly strolled into this place on a Wednesday; decided to have their special(s) for that day. This included tacos for $1.25 each, (asada, pollo or pastor) and a burrito, (Asada or Pollo) con papas for $8.99. I got one of each choice of meat for my tacos, and a pollo burrito, coming to a total of $15, (with a few dollars tipped) and I must say that I was quite impressed! The meats were all packed with flavor, my fries were crujiente and their red & green salsas were excellent as well! The woman behind the counter was friendly & patient with me, as I had ordered my burrito con papas a few minutes before going back to order my tacos. She took both orders efficiently, and I only waited about 10-15 minutes for my food to arrive. The restaurante is quaint and has only about 5-6 tables to dine at, but that made it feel that much more authentic imo, (in my opinion). It's a fusion of Mexican/Salvadoran cuisines which I happen to love very much, so I will DEFINITELY be coming back to try more of their menu! This place gave me a great meal and first impression, and I highly recommend! read more

This place is in a small shopping center corner with 3 other businesses, and very little parking. The resurant is very small with 5 or 6 tables. It's not loud at all the only thing you hear is them cooking . The wait was a little long considering my gf and I were the only ones there at the moment .. they might have other others I'm not sure but the wait was my only complaint.. but everything came out hot and fresh so that might have been why.. the food was pretty good the tortillas were nice hot and fresh. The lady that took our order was nice and overall left full .. I'll be back later in the future read more

Southern California has no shortage of pupusarias. El Pipil Restaurante may just be my new favorite. Pupusas are made to order and absolutely delicious. They are big, too. I should've stopped at three but they were so good I overindulged. It was worth it. Also well worth the drive from wherever you are. read more

El pipil restaurante - Inside - Mexican Near Me - Sun Valley, California

I'm not sure if it's just my luck but this place had me waiting for 45 mins for a breakfast. They charge 2 dollars for bread and it's not even a good size. Once the food arrived we took it to go and when I got home to enjoy my meal. The first thing I noticed is the amount of salt that went Into the eggs. Wow. It's like they made them in the ocean. I had high hopes for this place but struggling for parking is not worth it either. Oh well read more

El pipil restaurante - two plates of food on a table - Mexican Near Me - Sun Valley, California

A TRUE LOCAL GEM! I found the Goldilocks of pupusas. Price: Can't beat it! I've busted a mission hunting for pupusas around LA & have paid up to $12 for one elsewhere. On Tuesdays & Thursdays, they're $1-1.25 here! $3 On a regular day - still the best! Serving size: Not too tiny, not to thin. Not too obnoxiously huge or floppy either. So easy to eat on the go or with your hands. Perfectly filled. Lastly, they whipped these up in 5 minutes. (: read more

This is literally the closest restaurant to where I work, and boy, am I glad that I've discovered it! What have I had here? Pupusas. A lot of them. There's a special on Tuesday's and Wednesdays, $1.00 each. Other days they are a bit more, but they're a little plumper on the non-sale days. They also are a bit light on the curtido and salsa on the sale days, not so much on the other days. They are really great for $1.00 each, and still a good meal on the non-sale days when they're $2.00 each. The gals are always really friendly, even if they're not so talkative. They have Spanish soap opera shows on the TV, if that's your thing. I'll be visiting them on days that I don't bring anything from home. read more

Food is good and not pricey at all definitely don't go for the pupusas I don't think they are truly Salvadorian sorry had to say it but hey everything else is really good read more

Pupusas were delicious. The price is inexpensive I went on Thursday, I believe they're lower in price. But these are worth more. They were fresh and not greasy. Ladies were nice but serious. I went in the day but not sure how the neighborhood is at night. Worth the drive. So good I didn't have time to take a picture. I was hungry. read more

Bought two burritos; one steak and the other chicken. Order these and you will basically get a rice and bean burrito. Whatever bits of chicken and steak I tried were tasteless and seemed to be a day old. I ordered it with onion and cilantro and found out that they did not add it until I got home. They added salsa verde on the side which was the most plain green tomatillo salsa I've ever tasted; no spicy kick whatsoever. You're better off eating rice and beans from home than spending $20 at this place. read more

Food is good but the place is just nasty, the tables had a thick layer of grease as well as the floors. I don't even want to think about the kitchen. Very dissapointed. read more
