It's a small pastry and deli store located on Washington blvd, conveniently not far away off the freeway. They have plenty parking in the shared plaza, and it's a takeout place as only a few table setup outdoor. The cashier was very kind and patient with questions, when I was indecisive with what to pick. It's so affordable here, on average it costs about $5~$10 for a few pieces of pastry. I particularly like their giant palmier, very crispy and tasty. read more

I'm going to be totally honest: this was the first time I had visited myself the bakery but NOT the first time eating their pan dulce. My family lives in the area so they go there more often to buy pan, so while I was visiting last weekend I decided to stop by and get myself a few treats. I bough what we call 'pan menudo' peoerechas, salpores de arroz, de almidon, cachitos simples, semita, honradas, negritas, pichardines, you name it. I bought tamales which were on sale. When I got back home, as I would usually do, I placed all my pan in an air tight container, cause I would usually eat these with my breakfast. My absolute surprise and horror came the next mornign when I grabbed the semita, which was PACKED IN PLASTIC WRAP, and it was HARD AS STONE. Not only that, the salpores, the peperechas, the cachitos were also hard as a stone. And look, Ive been a pan dulce fan my entire life, I lived majority of that life IN el salvador, and I have tried pan dulce from other bakeries here in LA and for whatever reason, the ingredients, the climate, SOMETHING here in SoCal makes pan turn into stone. It never fails. I could literally toss a piece and it wouldnt break it was so hard. But we power thru, dip the pan in hot chocolate or coffee. The taste is THERE! The pan was good, but the fact that you have to consume the whole thing the same day makes me not want to buy again cause I dont live close, and im obviously going to want to buy enough for the next day. Im discouraged now cause its really not worth it if its going to turn hard. And im sure many people will agree w me. The tamales were ok... not suuuuuper authentic taste, but pretty close. I wish they did tamales de azuca and pisques . I will give them another try tho. As I mentioned before, the taste IS THERE, I'll just have to buy whatever I want to eat that day and not save anything for the next day. read more

Don't order from here, several times I have ordered via Postmates and my order is always incomplete or missing. Today was the last straw, I was missing my two drinks and my pupusa order was wrong. I had ordered 3 revueltas and got 2x frijoles and 1x queso. Never again! Ya no ordenen de aquí! Ya varias veces has hecho errors en mi orden cuando ordeno de Postmates. Hoy no me mandaron mis dos bebidas (tuve que mandar el señor de regreso pobrecito). Y yo ordene 3 pupusas revueltas y me dieron 2x de frijoles y uno de queso. Ya no más. read more

A home away from home! The food was delish (I didn't take any pics, it was too good to wait). We got pupusas revueltas, queso con frijol, and queso con chicharrón. 9/10!! Especially for the price, they were huge! We had the chicharrón con yucca, big portions, and everything was fresh. We tried the tamal pizque (bean), elote, and pollo (chicken). Also so authentic and so good for the price! (2.95/each). If you're salvi and feel homesick, step inside this beautiful place and you'll feel right at home with all the salvi snacks, sweet bread, spices! read more

I had an amazing experience; the food was great and good, and I'd come back for sure. The atmosphere was vibrant, making every bite even more enjoyable.

Overall, it was a delightful evening that exceeded my expectations.ed my expectations. read more

I originally went for the pupusas but wow! I left with way more. The pupusas were so good I asked for them extra crispy and they were so bomb! Oh but. I still gotta say that the pan dulce was next level. and reminded me of the one my grandma friend used to bring from El Salvador when I was growing up. I had to take a large one to go lol ... small hole in the wall I passed by while driving! Definitely will be coming back! Took this home! read more

La Usuluteca - Oof - Delis Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Let me start by saying I placed an order here it took them 50 minutes to finish making just 2 pupusas which is ridiculous. I am Salvadoran and have ate many difference pupusas in my life this has to be by far the worst place. There pupusa are unreasonably thick and hard and taste like straight garbage. I would never waste a dime here ever an again they take sooo long to make the pupusas you'd think they traveled to El Salvador just to get them and on top of that they're disgusting. I rate this place a -1000000 out of 10 Para empezar, hice un pedido aquí y tardaron 50 minutos en hacer solo dos pupusas, lo cual es ridículo. Soy salvadoreño y he comido muchas pupusas diferentes en mi vida; este es, sin duda, el peor lugar. Sus pupusas son exageradamente gruesas y duras, y saben fatal. No volvería a gastar ni un centavo aquí. Tardan muchísimo en hacer las pupusas que uno pensaría que viajaron a El Salvador solo para conseguirlas, y encima son asquerosas. Le doy a este lugar una calificación de -1000000 sobre 10. read more

I'm visiting Los Angeles where my brother lives. He has mentioned this place for a few years. This is mostly pick-up. They have two small tables outside. Each pupusa is more than $4. That's high but they're the biggest pupusas I've ever seen. The place has typical Salvadoran baked goods and a few groceries. The fried plantains were delicious. They're served with cream. The pupusa was a bit toasted and too greasy. The curtido and sauce are served in tight little bags. They gave me a sample of the fruit salad drink. It tasted good. I was surprised to see they have arrayan drink. Apparently they get it frozen. I haven't seen it in other pupuserías. I had higher hopes for the pupusas at La Usuluteca. I've had more flavorful ones where the loroco flavor comes through at other restaurants. read more

I've been coming here for years. The last time my revuelta pupusas had beans and cheese only. I decided to give them a chance and ordered today. Same thing ! It's disappointing as I feel I'm getting ripped off. I will be going to other Salvi restaurants in the area. read more

La Usuluteca - Pupusa time - Delis Near Me - Los Angeles, California

If you were looking for some genuine delicious Pupusas then look no further. I came across as Salvadorian bakery on door dash and I'm so glad I tried them because this just became my favorite place for pupusas! The portions are fantastic and you really get your money's worth. Plus, all their pupusas are freshly made and taste like they were just given to you when they arrive. They give you plenty of side and they even threw in a complimentary baked good in my order with a note. It was overall one of my best ordering experiences and best pupusa experience. I would DEFINITELY RECOMMEND to anyone who is looking for some delicious authentic Salvadorian pupusas. read more

Worst customer service!!! Be careful with that restaurant. Thru always try to find a way to overcharge customers without knowing. I have also had to return their food because it's the chicken not cooked well or their patties have mold. Even after making a second trip they don't even try to give you an extra item. I have requested to speak to the owner and she has never called . This is their quality of food. I had to give them a 1 but it should be a 0. read more

Looks like a quality Salvadorean bakery, deli, and pupuseria is coming soon! The construction people are working diligently, and from observing the sign painter, the owners believe in first class materials and workmanship. I can't wait to try their products. I will report back as soon as I put my foot in it (Haha! I hope they do too!) Update: I tried the quesadilla. It was a little dry. The pupusas were good, but you have to make sure they have a pupusa maker when you go, and not too close to closing time. read more
