I like this place. The only thing I've ever tried and always order are the pupusas. They're a solid 9 out of 10. Service is fair for a Latino restaurant and the space and tables inside is huge. Now the only downside of this place is if you want to place an order over the phone during the late hours of day, they require all your card info. Literally all your card info to charge you. Now I don't know who's okay with that but I'm definitely not! read more

They're closed for business. No forwarding information Their food was good. I hope they open up a different location soon. read more

Nuevo San Miguel - Nuevo San Miguel Salvadoren Restaurant shut down! - Salvadoran Near Me - Gardena, California

The pupusas are of terrible quality. There's barely any filling and fall apart when you rip them open, no type of cheese pull. We ordered three queso con frijol, three queso con chicharrón, and four revueltas, all were served in a giant catering tray, indistinguishable/unlabeled so we had to open each pupusa to tell which was which. The order was wrong, got three queso con chicharrón and the others were all revueltas. Curtido was not pickled at all and it was super wilted and brown. Thin, no flavor, and were cold despite having to wait for them. 0/5 Edit to add description to last picture: The small on the right is supposed to queso con frijol but it's only Queso Con Chicharron. The bottom one is supposed to be just beans and cheese but you can see the chicharrón read more

This is my first time coming to this Salvadoran restaurant. Arrived during lunch hour and tue restaurant was not busy. The service was prompt and the server as professional, knowledgeable, as well as friendly. Ordered the breakfast or desayuno. Scrambled eggs with green beans plantain and casamiento. See the pics. Plus a coffee. Overall, the presentation is great, and the food had a great taste. The plantain was not greasy and the dish was not greasy. Every item on the plate had great flavor. From all the Salvadoran restaurants I have visited This restaurant has been outstanding. Perhaps if I were to visit during the weekends or when busy tue service might not be same. Lots of negative reviews but I can't say anything negative at all. And I will return and try other dishes and during peak times. The restaurant is big and can accommodate up to 80 guests so it was nice and clean and had Spanish music playing and it was not too loud. Yes, I do recommend this establishment to friends and family and happy to have visited. Thanks for reading read more

I stopped by here after having a craving for pupusas. This restaurant has been under my nose for a long time. It's in my neck of the woods. My first impression was it was a very posh looking restaurant. I was pleasantly surprised. I tried the pupusas revueltas. They were cooked well. I wish they were a little greasier. The masa on the outermost part of the pupusa was a little too dry. I like when they are a bit more caramelized. The filling inside was decent, and the thickness was average. *Beware, there are 2 salsas. One is spicy! I didn't know they were different, so I burned my mouth. I think they should label the spicy one so people don't burn up like I did. Overall, it's a good place and I'll be back when I have another craving. read more

Went to have breakfast and we order food and some pupusas! Plate came first and pupusas never showed up until we were done! The women servers there are more interested in serving and attending single man or in groups more than a couple or a family! Owner was sitting in the second room having no idea was going on! Women servers there not polite at all and they don't come to your table to see if you need anything!! But if you are a group of single men they keep coming to check on them multiple servers. It seems to me that owner doesn't care at all! Read the messages here so you could make adjustments. read more

Tuve una experiencia extremadamente decepcionante en este restaurante debido al peor servicio al cliente que he encontrado. Las meseras fueron consistentemente groseras y parecían estar enojadas todo el tiempo. Además, la comida es mediocre. Durante mi visita, un amigo se unió a mí mientras comía solo. Hizo su pedido, pero después de esperar más de una hora por los pastelitos y la yuca frita, la demora le pareció inaceptable y se fue. Posteriormente, el dueño me acusó injustamente de irme sin pagar, lo cual fue a la vez humillante y vergonzoso. Tuve que explicar la situación y aclarar las cosas con la mesera. En general, el servicio al cliente en este restaurante es inaceptable y no puedo recomendarlo. read more

Food is always great and there's always something to watch in TV. Staff is friendly and very accommodating.

I've been trying to find a good pupusa spot in the south bay for a while and I would say this place is one of my go tos. They accommodate you with a big portion of curitdo and have sauces ready for you on the table. Pupusas come out fresh and looks like made to order. I order the pupusa revuelta and the filling is flavorful. Everytime I have dined in, it was not busy so the service was good. Has space for big parties. read more

Although yesterday was my first time at this restaurant, fell in love with the authentic Salvadoran feel and food options. I went with the carne guisada and it did not disappoint. Will be stopping by another time to try their other dishes. Had a pupusa as well, which was delicious! read more

Las pupusas revueltas y de queso son muy ricas. Las meseras siempre me atienden bien.

Acabo de salir de este lugar y nunca me gusta decir nada negativo de un restaurante pero el servicio estaba pésimo. La muchacha apenas nos llevó a la mesa y nos estaba presionando para ordenar sin todavía ver el menú. El único que estaba dando buen servicio a sus mesas fue el muchacho y hasta café refill nos ofrecía. Después de que nos dieron la comida la mesera que teníamos ya no se volvió acercar más. La Comida no valía la pena los precios. El miguelińo no vale la pena ordenar. Los tamales estaban buenos y la mesera nunca me trajo mi orden de pupusas. Está mejor el sonsonate y paseo san Miguel. El lugar está bonito, televisiones para ver futbol, y música. Pero el personal no da buen servicio. read more

Recently came here for the first time. While the pupusas we ordered were good, the caldo de res was not. The soup was watery and only had one piece of meat. Definitely not worth the $18 it costs. Was left very disappointed with the food. They must have expected a lot of customers this night as there were a lot of staff. But they were not attentive to those of us that were there. We had to wait extra long for our order and had to ask why the wait which seemed to annoy them. I've had better pupusas from a good truck. Don't think we'll be coming here again. read more

Me gustan las pupusas de este restaurante. Unos días están mejores que otros pero en general nos gustan. Hace dos semanas más o menos, estuve llamando por teléfono porque quería hacer una orden para recoger y el teléfono parecía estar desconectado. Cuando llegue al lugar y le comenté a la señorita lo del teléfono me dijo: "es que como hablemos pocos empleados mejor desconectamos el teléfono". Habían como empleados que yo podía ver. Les hago saber porque no se si los dueños de este lugar estarán de acuerdo con las acciones de sus empleados pues a lo mejor están perdiendo clientes debido a esto. Yo siempre llegue pues tenía tiempo para esperar y no eran muchas pupusas las que quería. read more

Food, service and ambience were all good! From the outside, this place doesn't look like much but the inside is nicely laid out. It didn't take long to get seated and have our order taken. My husband and I ordered pan con pollo, pupusa revuelta, pastelitos de carne and platanos with crema and frijoles. All the food was delicious!!! It all came out promptly as well. I've seen other reviews regarding the lack of service but I think the key here is to go when it's not busy. For example, don't go on a Sunday after mass. We went between lunch and dinner time on a Saturday and several different waiters came by to check on us. read more

Nuevo San Miguel - Pan Con Pollo, Platanos Fritos Con Frijoles Y Crema, pupusa revuelta, Pastelitos De Carne and horchata - Salvadoran Near Me - Gardena, California

So I score it a 3.5. Here's why: unfortunately this place is a hit or miss. Sometimes the food tastes super bomb, other times it's pretty bad. But, I must say, their horchata is always on point. Like most Hispanic restaurants , food takes a while to get to your table bc its made fresh ... Anyway, today the food was bomb lol... it's like gambling you know, and we'll, today I won. The pupusas were filled up, crunchy yet soft, the beans tasted like they've been cooking for hours... omg the sauce on the ranchero eggs was fire! Although, it took me a while to get it bc they forgot it and I had to keep asking them to bring it. Thank God I persisted... bc it was bombizay. Also, Nice ambiance! read more

The girl servers lack customer service skills and are rude when you tell them that they messed up your order. Food is ok but I don't recommend coming don't waste your time read more

TERRIBLE SERVICE! We picked up an order and it was incomplete after driving back home I called and their only solution was to drive back so they can count them themselves! Didn't offer any other solution and were rude about it. After waiting for the order about an hour. They robbed us 4 pupusas after ordering more than 15. Would not recommend and will never be going back there again. STAY AWAY & BEWARE! read more

Placed an order through the phone and they said pick up time would be 20 min. I go about 30 min later and they tell me they couldn't find my order. They claimed I called the wrong restaurant and I said no, I've ordered here before and I used the same number to place the order. I verified it and it was the same number. At this point, I said fine. Shit happens. I asked how long it would take to get my order if I ordered it then and they said 30-35 minutes, longer than the first time! I was done. I did not have time to sit around and wait another 30 minutes for my order. They need better people taking phone orders. This is ridiculous. Don't waste your money and much less your time at this place. read more

The food was really good but the staff took forever to assist us, we waited over thirty minutes to get food and I asked for water three times and never got it until I kept insisting. Hope this improves and staff members work as a team to make the environment better. read more

Nuevo San Miguel - Pupusas - Salvadoran Near Me - Gardena, California

This is probably one of my favorite pupuserias (they do the arroz pupusas really well). But the service is horrible. They take too long to bring your food out and forget your orders. I brought my parents here and we ordered the pupusas and yucca and my father ordered a chile relleno. The pupusas came out first. The chile relleno and the yucca were forgotten about. It wasn't until when my family finished eating that we were waiting on the chile and yucca. I went to go ask the waiter if the chile was coming out and he was very aggressive and said if hasn't come out, then I should just cancel it. So I did because that is not how you respond to a paying customer. I have come here time after time and something goes wrong with my order. I give the food a great rating 4/5 but the service is absolutely horrid. read more

I give the food 4 stars - pretty decent and prices are ok. The 1 star - wish I could give none is for their CUSTOMER SERVICE! I am stoked that management has not addressed this issue based on all their reviews. The women are the worse especially Yvonne and the other big one. They laugh in your face when you inquire about missing items when you're almost done with your food. The guys seem a bit better but you will find them gossiping, like girls too. Once you get your food these servers will not come back to your table. I was there this past week, no utensils and was told "I'll come back with your curtido, never came back. I had to get up ask and grab my own utensils from their cart. 10/06/2019 Food was cold - does anyone know why they have a "C" grade ? read more
