Good food. This is my go-to spot for pupusas. They're filling and not overloaded with masa. They offer weekday specials. Parking is limited, and there are only a handful of tables inside and outside. If you're in a hurry, do yourself a favor and call ahead for takeout, the wait can be long, but that's because most items are made to order. I love the pupusas, pastelitos, chicharrón con yuca, and soups. I'm looking forward to exploring more of the menu. There are plenty of options, and everything feels authentic, just like a typical Salvadoran home-cooked meal. read more

Los Cheros Pupuseria - Week day specials. - Salvadoran Near Me - Gardena, California

I'm a pupusa fanatic man. So if I ever visit a salvi restaurant I'm getting pupusas. Didn't know I had this place so close to my house, so I decided to try them for the first time. Ordered a bunch of cheese and chicharron pupusas for the family and myself. We like them made with rice flour. Oh man were they good!!!! They really go all the way with the fillings! Felt like I asked for xtra cheese cheesy pupusas. Their quesillo was hella tasty and stretchy. Their chicharron pupusas were fire. Super super tasty chicharron, authentic salvi flavor. Guess I'll be ordering here from now on. read more

Seeing Los Cheros via IG. I've been wanting their pupusas for sometime. This place located in industrial area not too far from the fwy. Getting to order, my bf and I used the touchscreen kiosk that's available by the entrance coz the ladies were busy taking phone orders. We ordered revueltas, queso, beans and queso, two tubs of curtido. The place is quaint. Minimal seating inside but optional outdoor seating as well. Everything was great and food was still hot when we brought it home. Thank so much for filling me and my family's tummies for dinner. read more

BOMB! These pupusas were so good and so filled! The chicharron one was my favorite! It's so good especially with the pickled cabbage and salsa. We live down the street and always pass by this place but we finally tried them last night and we will definitely be back! We spent less than $40 and we got a lot of food! read more

You call 30 mins ahead just to arrive and have your order incomplete & wrong. It must be normal since they had no sense of urgency or accommodation. Had to wait ANOTHER 30 mins for my order. Parking is also horrible and they have the audacity to make people wait double. Just horrible service! read more

No one available to speak English . They also gave me a pork tamale in place of a chicken tamales without telling me due to the language barrier. The chicken tamale is ok.I purchased pupusas one time and did not like the quality of the cheese. The cheese was so thick and hard to chew.I almost choked. The venue is small intimate place filled with booths,table, and chairs. Nothing to be excited about. read more

Wait time is a little long but worth it , Foods delicious, staff is friendly . Place is a little small so dont recommend a big group . read more

We were lucky enough to get there when it wasn't as packed! We sat down right after ordering! I love me a pupusa with cheese leaking out and touches the griddle - you know you're about to bite on the best part of the pupusa. I live near El Salvador Corridor in LA, a street bustling with Salvadorean goods and street food, but this is definitely one of the better pupuserias I've had recently! I really enjoy how the shell isn't as thick as the ones I've had around LA so you're able to enjoy the filling. I also appreciate how the filling is very generous but not overwhelming that they take away the flavor and experience. I just wish they had spicy curtido; they gave us spicy sauce to mix with it but it didn't satisfy the craving. Will definitely recommend it to those who are in search of good pupusas. read more

My first time here and I ordered 2 different kinds of pupusas.... Did not disappoint and came out hot and fresh.. made to order! Not much seating... there are a couple tables and booths inside and out. I'll definitely come back to try other items on the menu. Close to home and plenty of parking. read more

Everything about papusas matter the cheese, moisture in the masa to how much is packed with the filling. I know of several locations I prefer to eat or order from, BUT let me tell you, this place Los cheros pupuseria ARE MADE from scratch, made to order they are one of the best I have tasted. Can choose from 7 different kinds and so soft and cheesy and hot. These women do an exceptional job with papusa. So delicious and Salas is good and cabbage is good I already ate there twice read more

Los Cheros Pupuseria - Chichiorro and bean and cheese. Delicious - Salvadoran Near Me - Gardena, California

The Service was spectacular and the food was even better. 10/10 will recommend. The surrounding are so cultural as well.

Great food! Great service! Always well taken care of by the staff... always stop by for lunch although is a bit noisy due to lots of semi trucks in the area but the food makes you forget about it!!! read more

Yes, there's always a long wait, and because of this, I usually order on an app, so I don'thave to wait there. Yes, the place is tiny, and personally, I don't find it pleasant to dine in, which is why I always take my order out. Is the service mediocre? Maybe, but they're always busy, and I don't care if they can't have a conversation with me because I'm there to grab my food and bounce. Most importantly, are the pupusas any good? Absolutely! I've grown up having homemade pupusas from my grandmother. I've also been fortunate enough to visit the homeland occasionally and have had pupusas in El Salvador. Everything about these pupusas is amazing and is the closest to the real thing out in SoCal. This is my go-to when I want some authentic pupusas. Everyone that I've introduced to this place has agreed. My favorites are the revueltas, chicharon con queso, and queso con loroco. My partner loves their chicken and cheese only. Their salsa and curtido are on point and very fresh. If you want some authentic pupusas, place an order ahead of time, take out, and just be okay with getting a quick smile and hurry up and move the type of vibe. I swear it's worth it! read more

Service. Do not order with the touch screen. They will forget your order. Do not add the tip in advance. Service can be really bad . Food is acceptable, but Service needs to improve a lot ... If the restaurant added the touchscreen to order , need to train the personal how to react with those orders .. otherwise, what's the point ?? Coming from a true Salvadoran Food lover ... read more

This small place has a very chill atmosphere. When I arrived, it wasn't busy at all, with some booths, mostly tables, and a few tables outside. It's a relaxed spot, perfect for a casual meal. The pupusas were a pleasant surprise. They're often critiqued for being heavy and overly cheesy, but these ones, though cheesy, felt light because they weren't overly bready. Even after sharing three whole ones between two people, it didn't feel heavy at all. The chile pupusa was really good, though the one with chicharrón wasn't for me. I've realized I'm not much of a meaty pupusa person in general, but overall, this place is solid, and I'd definitely come back. The curtido wasn't as spicy as I'd like, so I'd recommend asking for a spicier version if that's your thing. But it was nicely acidic, which I loved--it really cuts through the carbs and fat. The horchata was solid, though I'm not much of a Salvadoran horchata person, so it didn't stand out for me. But for those who enjoy it, I think you'll like it. Support this business--yay! read more

So I've eaten here twice already, and both times I danced, rocked back and forth, and openly admitted I would return to order their breakfast. I mean, honestly, how does something so simple taste this good. My husband came with me the second time, and he was impressed with the authenticity of the food. Flavors, quality, and portions, if you know you know. This is food made with genuineness and love it speaks volumes about the owners and chefs. Keep doing what you're doing because you're great at it! read more

Authentic flavors from El Salvador, highly recommend anything off their menu. It's a very small business only a couple tables available. Parking is limited. We always order to go! 10/10 on everything here. Food is always on point. I usually order the pupusas/revueltas and the pastelitos de carne. Also don't forget to order dessert. I recommend the samita. Customer service is also 10/10 very nice staff considering it's a Salvadoran restaurant. Iykyk read more

Pupusas are good but service horrible . Even placing order via phone waiting 30mins! Horrible

Overprice and horrible costumer service! I had I really bad experience I order 18 pupusas and they give just a little bit of tomato sauce quantity for less than 5 pupusas and when i ask for more they say I will have to pay extra and I was going to do it, but it was ridiculous they wanted to charge me the equivalent to 2 extra pupusas just for a 8oz cup of tomato sauce have been and many salvadorean restaurant and they don't do that. ¡Precios excesivos y pésimo servicio al cliente! Tuve una muy mala experiencia. Pedí 18 pupusas y me dieron solo un poco de salsa de tomate como para menos de 5 pupusas y cuando pedí más me dijeron que tendría que pagar extra y lo iba a hacer, pero fue ridículo que quisieran cobrarme el equivalente a 2 pupusas extra solo por una taza de 8oz de salsa de tomate. He estado en muchos restaurantes salvadoreños y no hacen eso. Y si sos salvadoreño sabes que unas pupusas sin salsa no son pupusas súper decepcionada, read more

I visited Los Cheros Pupuseria on a Sunday morning for breakfast. I drove about 25-30 mins because I saw their food on a viral instagram reel and it looked delicious. The place is tiny, I counted and about 10 people can comfortably sit inside. There was additional seating outdoors but very limited. The menu was confusing and when ordering, I was even more confused. We requested to order the dish that was being advertised on the reel, which apperently was "El Chero #3." What is confusing to me is that the menu inside their establishment did not have "El Chero #3" or any other "El Chero #1 or 2" listed on their menu. Anyway, the food was good. I really liked the hand made tortillas, and the flavor of the beans was tasty. The pupusas were good as well, and their curtido was interesting because it had cilantro and what appeared to be lime juice. It did however, take over 30 mins to get our order which was a bit dissapointing. I did notice that most orders were placed over the phone/online and customers carried out. I think I will give it another try but order ahead for carry out. read more

I finally made it, and it did not disappoint. I had no time for pictures. When I arrived and ordered, I proceeded to the rest room. Which is in the back kitchen area. If I tell you that they were back there making things by hand, chopping and cooking. It smelled heavenly. I got my order and made it home. The food was fresh and hot still. The tamales were my favorite. I'm a masa girl. Amazing! Cabbage and red sauce was top tier. I'll be back! read more

Los Cheros Pupuseria - Great place for pupusas - Salvadoran Near Me - Gardena, California

Yummy!!!!! I was recommended this place, been going back since. Pupusas are big and so cheesy, workers are very professional.

One of the best pupusas I have tried in a while. As a Los Angeles resident, I think it is worth the drive to Gardena for the food. I ordered 2 chicharrón con queso, 2 revueltas, and 2 frijol con queso pupusas, along with a carne asada. Everything was delicious! The pupusas were stuffed and very cheesy, as they should be and the carne asada plate was well prepared. One thing I do think needs improvement is the customer service. The cashier who helped me had a bit of an attitude and acted as if I were inconveniencing her by asking for tortillas that I never received. Other than that, the quality of the food was great! (Also, a PS: there are no bathrooms) read more

Beans were very salty, I couldn't finish the pupusa. Customer service was dry, they don't greet you just ask what your name is for the order. This was just a one time for me. I'll look elsewhere. read more

En el mapa aparece que cierran a las 8pm y cuando llegue a ordenar me dijeron que estaba cerrado y eran las 6pm.

Service is very disorganized. Place an order over the phone, when I arrived the food was not prepared yet. I waited for approximately 25 minutes for food to be cooked. Finally got the food but forgot to add the drink. I had to return back for the drink. Parking was horrible and the line was out the door . Regretted coming back for the drink. Overall the food was very good. read more

This is one of those places that lures you in by their instagram pictures. That's how I ended up here. Super sketchy looking location. Line was out the door, but I should also mention it's a super small place. Only about 3 tables inside and two outside. Took awhile to take my order as it seemed she was more attentive to the phone orders. Once I placed the order it took 45 minutes to get our food!!! Food was nothing out of the ordinary, definitely not worth the wait. read more

Service was great, food was delicious. Everything tasted fresh. Definitely, coming back when I'm in the area!

Real Salvis will know this place is legit. Call in your order ahead of time because everyone knows good pupusas take time. Sure, it's not the best customer service; but in my opinion, that's how you know it's going to be bomb. Definitely coming back for more. They are not stingy with the fillings. Best pupusas around read more

Visited this place again, and it's the second time already that I've experience rude and unwelcoming staff. Their customer service is so bad where customers have walked out and not purchased due to workers being rude. The lady taking orders has a very bad demeanor making unwelcoming facial expression as you're trying to explain/place your order. I also witness staff being difficult with customers who do not speak Spanish. The food is good but their customer service is so bad that I personally would give another restaurant business instead. read more

Service and price are good! Location is random but an easy stop and there's parking so that's always great! Food in my opinion (I'm super picky with pupusas) they're not the best. The chicharrón and cheese pupusa was 2% chicharrón which didn't even look like if it was true Chicharon. Maybe a mix of chicharon and other stuff. The taste was not there, it was simple. I love cheese but wayyyyy too much cheese here. It was a like a pizza when you cut it. And the cheese had no flavor maybe it's Monterrey cheese (not the best for pupusas in my opinion). Though my bro liked them but again he was craving it lol Maybe I'll give it one more try just to see if it's just me or they just simply not good. Others love it here but I'm not convinced Picture added is the chicharon and cheese pupusa (base on the color it looks more like a cheese pupusa) read more

Support small businesses in your Area or any area whenever you can ... I love eating at small mom & pa places because they always have a unique delicious taste... I was working out in Gardena and came across this Pupusa spot... I haven't had a pupusa in years so it sounded delicious... Pupusa's are a Salvadoran staple and I don't eat them very often, so when you have a good one you definitely remember... I tried calling the restaurant to place an order over the phone but they didn't answer, so I went on Yelp and was able to place an order for pick-up which was very convenient... They sell other items but I was set on trying the pupusa's and they looked good... When I got to the restaurant to pick up my order I was surprised at how busy it was...It's a small place that seats maybe like 10 people inside and all the tables were full... I looked to see what people were eating and everything looked delicious.. Of course majority were eating Pupusa's but there were also soups and meat dishes that caught my eye... I ordered 2 pupusas, one was cheese & Chiles and the other was Revuelta (which means mixed). The pupusas were really good..They were fresh and so cheesy... The masa they use is soft and taste good.. The curtido is always my favorite, they also give you the options between the red sauce, you can get it spicy or non spicy... I was pleased with the size of the pupusas and the ratio between masa, cheese and stuffing..Typically the ones I've had are all masa and they don't put a lot of cheese or stuffing in it...They always try to be cheap, but this place was not and gives you your money's worth... I Definitely recommend trying this place if you are in the area... They are delicious and taste homemade... read more
