I stopped by this restaurant after craving pupusas and not being able to drive to our usual spot. This place was delicious! We had their pupusas de frijol con queso and also revueltas and they were very well made. The curtido and salsa were great and the portions provided were adequate for the amount of pupusas ordered. Their caldo de gallina was the star of the show! It was so fresh and honestly very delicious. The vegetables were fresh and the chicken was very well cooked and seasoned. Their fresco de ensalada was sweet and full of fruit. The horchata salvadoreña is everything you expect! I will definitely be returning :) read more

Mama Lila Restaurant - Salvadoran Near Me - San Fernando, California

Everything tasted fresh, authentic, and full of flavor. The pupusas were perfectly made--crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and packed with delicious filling. The curtido and salsa that came with them were the perfect balance and really brought out the flavor. I also ordered the pan con pollo, and it was incredible. The chicken was tender and well seasoned, the bread was fresh, and it was topped with a delicious mix of vegetables and sauce that made every bite flavorful. You can really tell the food is made with care and traditional recipes. On top of the great food, the service was excellent. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and made the whole experience even better. The restaurant was clean and had a great atmosphere to enjoy a meal. I'll definitely be coming back and recommending this place to friends and family! read more

Went today and I'll probably end up throwing the pupusas out, that's how bad they are. All masa, the beans taste like they are canned and not fresh made, and there is barely any cheese. Had to get them for a party, and spent almost $100 on trash. Not to mention we ordered 2 dozen and they only gave us 16!!! We left and had to come back for the rest, which were just sitting on the counter--and they didn't even bother calling us to let us know 1/3 of the order was not given to us. And for 24 pupusas we were given a few tiny little bags of salsa- which was used up with 6 pupusas. Super disappointing, do NOT recommend. read more

Yes the pupusas where so good!!! My children wanted more. The drinks were fresh and delicious. The lady was very patient taking my order, and the restaurant was clean. I also loved her prices it very hard to find a place where they have good food and fair prices. I ordered takeout Thank you!!! read more

Definitely a hidden GEM and officially a favorite. I had been dying to try their pupusas because my friend kept posting on Instagram. This place did not disappoint. I came in hangry and greedy after being at the hospital with my mom. She had the Sopa de Pata. The consistency and flavor was on point! Hand made tortillas, flavorful rice. I had an Order of Plátano frito con queso y crema y frijoles. Delish. A pupusa revuelta - curtido and an order of Yucca Frita con Chicharrón maaaaan you don't even know. Just try it all! Kudos to these ladies for getting it right all around. Authentic. Delicious and service was Sweet! read more

Oh where to begin when it comes to mama Lila's Salvadorian restaurant. At first glance you see blue walls and empty seats, but what you've yet to understand is that what you are lookin at is the birth of a future staple. I came here after fixing my phone plan by the near by metro, when one of my good counterparts cj noticed mama Lila's sign. We traveled to the door and were welcomed by the hostess, she sat us quickly and got us menus in seconds. The pupusas were an instant classic, ranging from the chicharron to the beans and jalapeño, down to the plantain plate. Overall experience and vibes 9.5/10. read more

Service is wonderful! This truly is a hidden gem with excellent pupusas! Next time I will order the Pan con Pavo. Very friendly staff.

I don't write a lot of reviews, I actually lost my login for my old account so had to make a new one. Read a few reviews and decided to give it a shot. What actually was a deciding factor was the photos of the food and ambience looked very clean. Ordered a simple beef soup and comes with handmade tortillas and rice. Everything was super fresh, its refreshing to come to a restaurant and actually get Fresh food. Kudos to the lady in the kitchen and friendly waitress. You can tell that the people who work here care about this restaurant. -The food was great fresh authentic, edible and flavorful. - The ambience was new and clean looking nice decorations and a TV playing. - The restaurant itself was very clean and organized - The waitress was attentive and service was quick I would suggest everyone who wants authentic good home cooked food to give Mama Lila a try you wont be disappointed. read more
