    Under new ownership not the same service and taste
    Miguel R.

    Under new ownership not the same service and taste, cook is still there but the new owner changed the whole system

    I was in the mood for a pupusa and decided to try this spot. It was a great choice! It's table service, you don't have to order at the front. I ordered two pupusas de queso and a taco and it was too much food. The pupusas are huge and they put the perfect amount of cheese. I wasn't able to finish mine so took it home. I highly recommend this place.

    Yummmm. The food here is delicious. Came by while in the area and so glad I did. First, I git a pupusa revuelta and that was one of larger sized pupusas I've had so far. It was also filled with alot of meaty cheesy goodness. The flavor was on point and it was not too oily. The cabbage had a little spice to it and was the perfect topping. We also got the fried plantains with beans and crema. You will get stuffed on this alone. Beans had good flavor and the bananas were fried to perfection. Food is good. Prices are good. Wish there was ac inside. It felt warm especially on a hot day. Not sure if it was because the door was open or if the ac was out but regardless the food makes it worth coming back.

    Service it's whatever to be honest, food it's great but the need to work on their customer service. Also they're so cheap with their salsa, the food it's very price for them to be so cheap with salsa and other stuff. I ordered 5 pupusas and they only gave me one small salsa, after making me wait over an hour.

    Only tried the plantains but there were too sweet in my opinion. Good amount for the price though.

    I was hesitant to try this place because of the reviews, but I'm glad I did. I've only tried the pupusas but that's all I needed to say I'm coming back! I visited on a Tuesday which happened to be when they have pupusas on special! My bro and I ordered 6 to split between us because $3.25 each? Had to be small, right? Wrong! So wrong. Once the lady started making them, we saw the softball size of dough and filling each pupusa was made of. My goodness, they were huge! 2 for each of us would've been plenty already. Totally worth paying full price for. The pupusas we chose were delicious and yes, very greasy. But we chose cheesy pork, so it was expected. It's a very heavy meal, so I'm glad they're generous with their curtido. The pickled veggies help break up the greasy feel. I'd recommend calling ahead for takeout because they make it to order so it takes a while.

    The wife was in the mood for pupusas but since we hardly ever have them we weren't sure where to go. Googled search lead me to this place, had seen as for years as a burger joint but somewhere along the line they became a Salvadorian restaurant... Place is nothing fancy, please keep that in mind. I thought the prices were a little expensive but then I saw the actual size of the pupusas, pretty good size. Ordered 2 revueltas and 2 de frijoles, damn good gotta say. My wife said they were in the salty side but perfect for me. She could barely finish one by herself. I read a prior review saying they were super greasy, I don't think they're anymore greasy than any typical pupusa. I mean, your ordering chicharron with cheese, it's gonna be a little greasy... My only gripe about the place was that a got a dirty look from the cook because I ordered a couple things ala carte which I guess was too much work for her, lol... I ordered 2 burger patties with cheese and grilled onions. Is that a lot to ask for?? They still sell burgers so it's nothing out of the ordinary... One more thing, it did take a litter longer than expected for my order to be ready. Overall I would recommend...

    They changed ownership and the pupusas shrunk to half the size they used to be. Don't see myself coming back.

    Food is always fresh, so don't go there if you're starving. It does take a bit to get your meal.

    What a delightful find! We Yelped "pupusa" and Los Planes appeared as higher rated than some…read moreothers. So off we went! My lunch friend and I both ordered 2 pupusa y platanos. Like a dum dum, I asked for another plate of platanos, when in reality the lunch plate comes with plenty. And they were rich, deeply flavored, complex, and had that lovely burned caramel flavor and appearance that makes bananas so popular in El Salvador and S. America. They have a nice selection of pupusas. Naturally I tried the chicharron because it usually has more flavor, and it gives the chef a chance to really bust out with a bold taste. It was good, and just as good as some of the better pupusas in Santa Ana. The beans, well, like most places they look like the blender got the best of them. I don't know why Latino restaurants like to pulverize their beans. But tasty nonetheless. Typical pintos I think. Nice flavor, maybe a little manteca. If you are new to pupusas, don't get fussy because they take a little while to make. Your patience will be rewarded. If you are in the SGV, don't pass up Los Planes for pupusas y platanos.

    I had high hopes for this place. When I got here everyone was so nice and welcoming. I ordered my…read morefood and it take a bit while to come out but i didn't mind.The horchata was so nasty and tasted like water with cinnamon just like that.When I got my wet burrito it liked god and everything but when i bit into it the carne was not done,and wasn't well cooked.I only finshed less then half of the burrito and mostly just ate the tortilla. I wouldn't recommend coming here.
