Gave me a bigger cup of tamarindo to go so I can sip on the drive, was very kind and generous. She offered spicy salsa to help wake me up.

The spice woke me up good

Got to visit my favorite pupusa truck at the LA After Dark Night Market. And the pupusas were…read morecrispier than ever. I had two revueltas. The refried black beans are a little on the salty side (which I like, but fair warning for sensitive palates) and are the perfect consistency. This was the first time I had the plantains and honestly the $19 combo plate was pretty filling for me, so I had to share them! My plate also came with three different dips/salsas: a sweet one for the plantains, a light cheesy sauce, and a mild salsa. The revueltas and the black beans were definitely my favorite part of the experience.

Grandma's is incontrovertibly the best pupusa in LA, that's for damn sure. I ordered the cheese pupusa (with the most hearty cheese-to-masa ratio - yum!), which contains zucchini and nopales. This was absolutely insane. It also came with the salsa roja (also very flavorful), plantain, and curtido (a pickled slaw). They currently have a link to their gofundme up on their instagram (@biggrandmaskitchen), because sadly the owner's cooking equipment and tools burnt down during the Eaton Fire. Despite having had tragedy strike them recently, this local small business is still selflessly giving back to the communities of Altadena and Pasadena by regularly donating food to residents and first responders at community food drives, so I strongly urge everybody to consider donating, or at least buy a pupusa or two - you will NOT regret it! Rooting for this small biz to thrive!

I hadn't been here in about 10 years (back when I lived in Pasadena), so I was excited to come back and it did not disappoint. We started with their homemade chips and salsa, and they were absolutely amazing fresh, flavorful, and the perfect way to begin our meal. I ordered the chilaquiles with meat, and they were so delicious, full of flavor, and perfectly prepared. My husband and friend both got the carne asada burrito, and they couldn't stop talking about how good it was. I also tried their "Vampiro" drink, made fresh with orange juice, beets, and carrots it was refreshing, unique, and so good. The customer service is truly top-notch everyone was incredibly welcoming, kind, and attentive. The place is spotless and beautifully decorated with a warm, traditional Mexican feel that makes it feel so homey. Highly recommend this spot if you're looking for authentic, delicious food and a great atmosphere. We'll definitely be back!

This a food truck parked in a unassuming residential neighborhood with plenty of parking all around. We got the sample platter & the 3 amigos platter which came out to be $36+ after taxes. Inflation is real. Each platter comes with a bag of diced onions/cilantro, radish chips, and 2 different salsas to garnish your tacos. The consommé was and should always be the star of the meal, and I thought it had a very good flavor with a hint of spicy and sweetness. To be honest, all the tacos utilized the same ingredients, just prepared differently. So perhaps one platter to share would have been enough, but we couldn't help ourselves. They closed shop at 8 on a Saturday, but I think they would have more success serving as a midnight snack. They accept card and Apple Pay. Support your local businesses when possible!

From the moment our aguas frescas came out, we knew this place was different. The lemonade was freshly made, and honestly, who does that anymore? They do. Since it was our first visit, I asked our server to surprise me with her favorite dish. She recommended the Casorio, and wow. The presentation was beautiful, and it tasted even better. I can't gatekeep this place anymore. We moved to the area about two years ago and have been searching for a family-friendly restaurant with consistently great food. I think we finally found it. Our girls love pupusas, and they were a huge hit. We also ordered the fried yuca, which was delicious, and they had a new torta-style sandwich that wasn't even on the menu yet. It reminded me of a Salvadoran pan con pavo, and it was incredible. I have a feeling we're going to become regulars. Great food, friendly service, and a place we're excited to come back to. Highly recommend!
