The pupusas were the highlight. The masa was soft and light, not heavy or doughy like some places. Very filling without feeling overwhelming. The curtido was also on point. They had great flavor, well balanced, and not overly spicy or vinegary. We also ordered the yuca con chicharrón, which was excellent. Well fried, crispy, and full of flavor. Prices were reasonable for the portions and quality. The only downside was the Salvadoran horchata. It was a bit too sweet for our taste and lacked that nuttier, earthier richness I usually expect. Overall, solid food and a great surprise via delivery. We'll definitely be visiting the restaurant in person next time to try more of their food.

My partner ordered two dishes to go, the Tallarin Verde with chicken and Pescado a lo macho. Everything had good flavor but the pesacado dish was way too salty! It was on the verge of being inedible but there was a lot of seafood so that's a plus. The chicken was also dry. Maybe using a chicken thigh with skin would have been better than chicken breast. The green noodles, potato, and green sauce were the best things. I do want to go in and try the ceviche but I am little put off by the amount sodium. I'll update if I give them another try.

Not greasy at all either. My only complaint is that their slaw isn't sour enough and their salsa is very runny and not spicy at all. Also tried the pork with fried yucca. Yucca was a bit overfried but very crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside. Loved the pork a lot. Super tender and has a nice crisp from the frying. Lastly, I got the fried yucca balls with the syrup. Never had this before and it was very good.

Taking a star off for the owners snarky comment to my review which just proves my point about their…read morelack of care for their customers. Instead of trying to find out HOW meat got into my bean and cheese pupusa, she chose to be sarcastic and defensive about my experience without taking any accountability. She also said that their prices are "a little up there" and "are not meant for everyone" even though no one mentioned they had high prices. So she just went out of her way to...what? Call me poor? Weird. Please stop telling people that your cheese and beans are vegan; they are not. And it's not even always vegetarian either because I 100% got meat in mine and if you say you don't use ground meat in your pupusas, then I am even MORE concerned about what was in mine if it wasn't that. No wonder it upset my stomach all day! What the heck kind of meat was that?! You are clearly not a doctor so please don't try to tell me to go to the ER for an upset stomach. When vegetarians (and vegans) consume meat, we end up with a bad upset stomach - often for a full 24 hours or longer. It's like food poisoning to us. And I got it from your pupusas. She says: "We never said we are vegetarian connoisseurs." LOL lady, you're not even pupusa connoisseurs! I do agree with her on one thing though: Las Ploras pupusas "are not meant for everyone". I would keep that in mind the next time you're looking for good pupusas.

Once you walk inside you feel and see that vibrant vibe for a good time. The theme of El Dia de Los Muertos is striking with some masculine and feminine touches. There's two sides, restaurant and the bar. We opted for the bar seating because it was actually the calmer side. We enjoyed the space to ourselves. Service was excellent and attentive. Nice screens to watch a game. Bar height tables and booths to nestle in. Drinks were incredible! The choice for pitchers were the way to go. The food on the other hand has plenty of room for improvement. The rice had some hard spots kinda similar to when you reheat rice at home in the microwave. The verde enchilada was good but chicken was a little dry. Needed some flavor so added that salsa. It saved the dish! Chips were fresh and salsa was perfect.

The mole was sweet but that spice crept up on me. The enchiladas were good. Reggaeton and hip hop playing with lights, it was like a nightclub restaurant kind of vibe. I went during a week night so there was only about 8 tables/ booths filled with people and a couple people at the bar. The waiter told me about their Sunday breakfast special for 40 dollars between 10 and 2 pm and its posole, quesa birria, pancakes, bacon, egg tacos and more, I can't wait to come back on a Sunday morning to try that!

On a sparsely traveled side street that separates the Target parking lot from the 91 freeway, is an attraction that will have you slamming on your brakes and craning your neck to see what the fuss is all about. The day we came, a Sunday afternoon, there were about 10 different, brightly colored trucks lined up along the curb, lights flashing, music blaring, and lines starting to form. You can park your car in the adjacent parking lot, there's plenty of room! Yes, this a very successful food truck according to Yelp. And by far the most patronized truck I saw that day. Inside the tiny galley kitchen are 4 hustling adults, including sweet Isabelle, the food ambassador of a husband and wife duo. I loved her enthusiasm and bright smile. At this point, I want to mention that Columbian taste buds are more finicky than many of their Central and South American brothers. So do not expect hot chile anything. Their palates prefer milder, not spicy foods, even though one of the sauces served with the empanadas was a garlicky, bright, herbal, oily sauce, not unlike the Argentinian chimichurri sauce. They call it aji (ah hē). I find it very addictive. Bandera Paisa - this is a combo plate that features a fat, Columbian chorizo (a non spicy sausage), a pile of moist shredded beef, a large strip of pork belly, white rice, Columbian red beans, a fried egg, avocado, and several pieces of fried sweet plantain. There is also one Cheese Arepa included. This dish can easily be shared by two and is a phenomenal deal and interesting taste adventure. Beef Arepa. This is basically a fried masa pocket substantially filled with their signature shredded beef, then topped with guacamole and white cheese. This is very similar to their beef empanadas, so I would encourage ordering one or the other, not both. It's big. Beef Empanadas (3). This is not your usual empanada. The generous beef filling is made from their sensational slow-cooked, flavorful shredded beef with a hint of corn and vegetables. The pastry is actually made of a coarse grained masa, formed into the traditional moon-shape, then deep-fried. It is heavier and far more filling than what I am accustomed to, but it has a chewy, coarse textured mouth appeal and rich flavor. One order is 3 empanadas. They offer an interesting variety of drinks, the most notable being their iced Columbian coffee (intensely rich, creamy, and sweetened) and a Passion Fruit Slushy that is an exotic fruity perfection. Both are pre-made and served out of a dispenser. Columbiana soda, plus other sodas and juices, are available in bottles and cans. The only downside is the seating. A few wooden tv trays and canvas folding chairs are set up on the uneven dirt adjacent to the sidewalk. It appears that using the sidewalk is off limits for seating. I loved their cute, vibrant Cuban music, but oftentimes it became overwhelming as it competed with another truck's equally loud Mexican music right next to them. That, and the seating, effectively convinced me that eating my food elsewhere was probably a better idea, even though sweet Isabelle was frequently checking in on us to make sure we had everything we needed. Our bill was really reasonable, considering the amount of food we had. It was approx. $42, and there was plenty to bring home for another day.
