went here on a whim and was glad we made the walk out here! the arepas were good, though a tad oily. in comparison to the arepas in grand central market downtown, i liked these better because they had a nice crunch. in addition, the plantains were excellent as was the atol de elote! things we were not as fond of were the tamale- the mais was a little too wet for our liking (though maybe that's salvador style) and the empanadas- it was good, but compared to the plantain it lacked flavor. if you're around and craving pupusas i'd definitely suggest going here. read more

Mi Carbonero Restaurant - Salvadoran Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This place was known to be worth the wait, came in to order take out and sat down to wait. No waitresses in the front, several workers chatting it up in the kitchen. Dirty tables. They also charge a dollar if you pay with card. They have a sign encouraging you to pay cash. Customers walked in sat down and nobody came to take their order , I guess today was a walk up to the counter day. I finally received my order 40 minutes later. Will not come back. read more

Worst costumer service ever. Employees are very disrespectful and this restaurant is very unsanitary. I wouldn't eat here even if I was starving deserted on an island. read more

Good environment! Fast and efficient service.. delicious quality food ... definitely eating here again read more

Mi Carbonero Restaurant - Delicious pupusas - Salvadoran Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I paid $7.00 for the WORSE "atol de elote" a 16oz of lukewarm watery runny sweet white liquid with 6 kernels of corn... when it got sold it was like hard gelatin. Worse place - do not waste your money read more

Worst place ever!!! I used to come here a lot cause service was good now it's terrible. Insulting customers in front of others cause u take almost 30-45 minutes to get out a meal. Not the spot if ur tryna grab a quick breakfast or lunch and head on about ur day. Constantly noisy inside. read more

Been going to the location on Victory all my life and this one is great too. Beautiful memories with my dad who loved these pupusas. 10/10 recommend read more

Food is delicious and service is good server was very nice will come again, parking is available in the back read more

See all

I went in 20 minutes before closing when you'd expect the worst service but actually I received the best service! After my terrible experience with Mi Casita on Vanowen and Kester, I came here as my last resort. My pupusas were filled with flavor and not dry at all, the sauce was great and the curtido could of been better it takes more refrigerated. They also sell charamuscas here and their horchata is the best. The ladies were extremely nice and I got my order in less than 15 minutes. I'm definitely coming back here! read more

Really bad waiter, he cant take orders, he gets confused with orders and take too long to get to your table

2 star because I feel like over the years the way they make the pupusas or maybe the person who cooks is different? Idk they add less filling and they cost expensive as it was.. then I mean I get it with the whole covid situation Understandable but at least add MORE filling to the pupusas lol all I get is the masa... I've called about 3x with the same thing and yet do it everytime 2/5 read more

This place is legit for Salvadoran food in the area. Open relatively late, pretty authentic and delicious. I have gone here twice now and both times no complaints. read more

I hate giving bad reviews but this place was just not it... the masa for the Pupusas had zero flavor. I had regular cheese with loroco, beans, and revueltas . Not one was good... And on top of that the took 45min to make them... they were not full at all and they ended up serving a family of 8 that came way after us within minutes which leads me to think they completely forgot our order. I would've been okay with that if food was good but it really wasn't. The guy taking our order was pleasant and patient and he's the only reason why I'm giving this place 3 starts rather than 1. read more

Made an order on the phone @ 7:10 for a dozen pupusas they told us it was gonna be a 30 min wait so got there @7:45 & they still weren't ready. It is now 8pm & still haven't received anything , it actually looked like they started throwing hella pupusas on the grill 5 mins ago. Smh don't recommend. read more

Las pupusas de frijol con queso y jalapeño! Es como si Dios te mando un beso desde el cielo. Si les recomiendo este lugar para sus pupusas.

I usually don't like writing reviews, especially negative one, but I waited 35 minutes for 5 pupusas, this is not worth the wait and time..

Be ready to wait more than 40 minutes. Food was good but the wait time and the prices are ridiculous. $3 for a can of soda and $6 for an horchata. read more

$1 pupusas Monday-Thursday? Done deal! They weren't reserved with the fillings either!

Sopa de pollo it's always on point. And they give you a plate with a piece of chicken with rice and beans on the side

Love my platanos fritos all the food that I've tasted is so delicious. This place keeps me going back. I highly recommend this Salvadoran restaurant. read more

Waited 30 mins and never got our order. The server working at around 8 pm was rude and gave everyone else their drinks even though we had been there for 20 mins. She finally came up to us and asked if we had ordered drinks and what they were again. No apologies. She still didn't bring us our drinks, 30 minutes of waiting we left without ever getting our food or an apology for taking so long. read more

Let me start by saying that their pupusas are great. I'm giving them a one star for their customer service. I'm never ever ordering from them again! I placed an order of 15 pupusas in the morning and had told them I was picking them up at 6:15pm. I get there on time and the cashier can't find my order, then she finds it & charges me. Turns out my order is not ready. I waited 15 minutes before they gave me my order. I get home start serving my family & realize 2 are missing, now I'm piss the f**k off! So I called them and told them what they did and they told me that they did give me my order correct! That got me even more piss! I told her, "look I called you to tell you that my order wasn't complete." "I paid for something & didn't get what I ordered!" " I'm not asking you for the 2 pupusas you didn't give me!" " Im just letting you know that you guys f**ked up and that it's was also my fault for not checking my order before I left!" Which I shouldn't even be doing that! Well lesson learned! Even when I'm in a hurry, always make sure to check my order before these f**ks make it seem like I want to jack them for what I really paid for!! Never going back!! read more

They're mean.. and very rude. I never leave yelp reviews esp bad ones but today I had to. After I placed my order the two ladies behind the counter started speaking in Spanish and laughing at me and making me feel so uncomfortable. One of them said "be nice" to the other girl as they laughed and made faces and talked in Spanish clearly about me. I had asked a question about my overpriced total as I thought pupusas were .99 on Tuesday's..... instead of getting a response to my questions they talked in Spanish as if I understood them. It's my first time here and I honestly won't come back because of the treatment I got. Oh, and I ordered 2 pupusas and waited at least 20 mins for my food. Mind you, there were only 2 other people here with me. I pray to God I don't end up getting sick eating this food. read more

Amazing food! Kind people! Very clean! Pupusas are great. Tamales are great and the chicken soup #6 is the best I've ever had!
