Love this place. I'm forgot how good this restaurant is. Pupusas were awesome. Nice and juicy with a ton of cheese or other filling. Cir todo (cabbage salad) for the pupusas is good with just the right amount of oregano. Hot sauce is awesome... it might only be puréed guajillo pepper.... But whatever it is, it is perfect with the pupusas. Fried plantains and refried red/sulk beans and crema are delicious too. Lots of people get the Gallo Criollo soup. The chicken is freshly fire grilled and served on the side with the other ingredients for the soup. Plenty of parking at the HB location. There are prices on the to-go menu. read more

My experience here today has been by far the best! My sister loves pupusas, so every time she visits from Texas, we make it a point to come here. Yanira was so sweet, polite, and provided excellent customer service. I prefer to make the drive from Costa Mesa to this location because the ambiance is much more peaceful, and the employees are so much nicer compared to the Costa Mesa location. I truly appreciate Yanira my daughter is lactose intolerant, and she went out of her way to make her a pupusa without cheese. That small act of kindness meant a lot to us! ¡Mi experiencia aquí hoy ha sido, por mucho, la mejor! A mi hermana le encantan las pupusas, así que cada vez que viene de visita desde Texas, hacemos el esfuerzo de venir aquí. Yanira fue muy amable, atenta y ofreció un excelente servicio al cliente. Prefiero manejar desde Costa Mesa hasta esta ubicación porque el ambiente es mucho más tranquilo y los empleados son mucho más amables en comparación con la sucursal de Costa Mesa. Agradezco mucho a Yanira mi hija es intolerante a la lactosa y ella tuvo la amabilidad de prepararle una pupusa sin queso. Ese pequeño gesto significó mucho para nosotras. Muchas gracias Yanira! read more

San Sivar - SQUASH AND CHEESE PUPUSAS - Salvadoran Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

Delicious!!!!!! 10/10 best pupusas. They do have a hard time when you ask for extra Curtido, even when offering to pay for it though. Not sure why. But overall I LOVE THE PUPUSAS here! So I'll still give them a 5 star review. Also it's never crowded and I fear they'll go out of business if they don't get more customers. Please go try it!! read more

After yoga class I came out and saw San Sivar two doors over in the same center. This is the Huntington Beach outlet of Salvadoran restaurant of the same name in Costa Mesa. I wanted to grab some quick pupusas, and they promptly took my order. While waiting the owner invited me to have a seat, and he told me they have been open for two years. By the few Yelp reviews, it seems a hidden gem. The pupusas were very good, and not greasy at all. There is plenty of room inside for dine in. They are open everyday except Tuesday. I recommend to give it a try. read more

Que Rico el caldo de gallina criolla y muy Buen servicio siempre Somos bien atendidos

Tried San Sivar in HB for the first time. We ordered the mixed pupusa and the jalapeño and cheese pupusa, Bisteck Encebollado (beef steak with onions and peppers) plate that comes with rice, beans and salad. Also the Agua de Ensalada (fruit drink) was excellent! The food was delicious and service was friendly. The only complaint I have is they don't list any prices and when asked about it, his response was "after Covid everything changes including the prices constantly." Hmmm that sounds sketchy to me, which is why I took away 1 star. I found prices on Yelp which I guess kinda adds up right. Total spent was around $40. read more

We are so lucky to have a pupuseria in this area. The pupusas are so delicious! I can eat them everyday. The service was great .

The food is great but the service is terrible. I would give it a 5 star just in food alone, but the lady in front does not have a single bit of customer service. Does not smile, feels like she's forced to talk to you to take an order. read more

I have been to the San Sivar in Costa Mesa, and had a positive experience. I was happy to see that they opened a second location in HB nearer to me. I ordered about $30 of pupusas "para llevar" to go. The chiccharones y queso ones were excellent. The masa was soft, and there were a lot of fillings. Secondarily the curtido & salsa were very good. All my rellies I shared the pupusas with, liked them better vs the ones we typically buy from the food truck on Surf City nights. I believe the HB location is smaller vs the CM location. But it works. The HB location is quaint and homey. Likewise the service from the lady in front was very inviting. She told me how long they have been in biz, so I applaud them for being successful. I also applaud them for taking the risk in opening a new location in HB. I have already returned several times since my first visit that I am the Duke. Thats how much I like this place. read more

Love the quesito con lorocco. They always put a generous amount in the pupusas. Curtido is well prepared and the perfect compliment to those round disks of corn and cheese goodness! read more

Amazing pupusas! We tried all of them. The lady behind the counter was super helpful, sweet, kind, and provided excellent customer service. All there drinks were delicious too! It was hard to pick what we liked best because everything was amazing. We were just there and I had to write this asap. It was that special. read more

We came to eat here today after a baseball tournament and the food was so good. Location : inside there's a good amount of seating. We were a party of five and found a table without issue. Nice & clean Service: the woman helping us at the front was really nice. Great service. Food: we ordered a pupusa, fried fish, tacos, plátanos con crema , yuca with pork and Carne Asada. The curtido was so delicious. we love pupusa and have been to many places that don't have good curtido, but this place nailed it. Pork and steak didn't have a ton of flavor but when you paired it with the curtido , it was delicious. I would definitely recommend this place! read more

As an American Latina with Central American heritage (¡viva Honduras & El Salvador!), I was so happy to find I had a Central American mom&pop restaurant near my place. Pupusas and Sopa de res were staples in my house growing up so every time I grab food from here, I get a little taste of my childhood. The staff is super friendly and their food is good! Worth trying and returning for sure. read more

Authentic Salvadoran chicken tamales wrapped in banana leaves are exquisite! Super moist and melt in your mouth without needing to add tons of butter (like Mexican corn tamales). Can't wait to return and try their other entrees. Warm ambience with wood tables too (even though located in shopping strip). read more

Food is authentic and delicious! Pupusas are amazing. Plantains are the perfect side dish

I have had pupusas at a number of different restaurants, and my hands down favorite have been at San Sivar - both this location and the Costa Mesa location. What I like about them is they taste fresh, they taste like they're made with good quality ingredients, and they are not greasy. Furthermore, they're not too fluffy and not too dense - they have just the right texture. I highly recommend them. The restaurant was clean and the woman who took my order was very friendly and helpful. read more

San Sivar - Pupusas - Salvadoran Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

Deben poner atención en la manera como hacer las pupusas, por ejemplo las revueltas no mezclan los 3 ingredientes y hace que la pupusa tenga mal sabor, y de hecho el chicharrón no tenia buen sabor, se sentía como viejo. El servicio la muchacha de enfrente intenta ser amable, no lo hace ni bien ni mal. El ambiente y la comodidad es mucho mejor que el restaurante de Costa Mesa. Si me preguntan si voy a regresar, la respuesta es NO read more

Every time we try to place an order they don't want to answer their phone an hour before closing time. So we have to drive out here (still trying to give them business) and even while they are in there and their hours of operation are at a certain time they won't even try to talk to you. If they don't want to close at 8 then maybe they should change their hours online too. As a business you guys should update your hours of operation IF they have changed. Which, I'm not sure that's the case bc it's happened way too many times already. Change your answering machine as well and be a little more courteous when a client is there.. communicate. Time is valuable and so is our gas money!! Also, their food is not the best read more

I came to the restaurant for breakfast on the weekend. I tried san Sivar breakfast plate and a pupusa. I got my food to go, so I waited in the restaurant while they prepared my food. I think they make everything from scratch. Not frozen and reheated like in some restaurants. The staff was friendly and the inside of the restaurant is clean. When I got home,, I ate my food and it was delicious. Fresh and warm !! I'm definitely coming back again. read more

Ventured into this neighborhood pupusa joint and were pleasantly surprised with their delicious fare. We enjoyed the pork, pork & cheese, bean & cheese, jalapeno & cheese all because they sounded so good and we wanted to taste all of the variety. We'll be back to sample more, soon. (Sorry but I was too focused on eating to take a pic!) read more

Came here for first time with family of four to help teenage daughters prepare for school trip to Costa Rica. We all enjoyed our meals-- especially the pupusas. Helpful service, tasty Central Mexican entrees and yummy desserts. We all agreed after our meal to that we'll definitely be back! read more

Hi I've tried this place a couple of times. The food is good but the time you wait to get your food is 35-50 minutes. We ordered 6 popusas which shouldn't take that long to make. If you stop by make sure you ain't starving or or have anywhere to be for approximately 1.5 hours. read more

I don't know if it's just my luck but last time I arrived 7:40 in the other location and they told me it was already too late for having a table. Then I came on time to this location to find it CLOSE on a Wednesday. (Even tho they announce on the door they close Thursday) , anyway, I'm tired of these business that don't care about clients. Food used to be better also I've been many times so I guess I need to find a new place where I don't spend my time and gas for nothing. read more

The bean and cheese pupusas are my favorite. They do close early some days so good to go before 5pm.

Love their pupusas and anything with plantains. This place is great all around, customer service included. Every time we call our order in they are friendly and accommodating. I do wish they were open a bit later, but the food is just too good to knock a star off for hours of operation. read more

Picked up chicharron y queso pupusas and they were great. Curtido was delicious and salsa was spicy, just the way I like it! I also grabbed 2 small sweet bread that looked similar to sweet empanadas. They were so soft and not too sweet. They had a light custard I think. Service was great and restaurant was very clean. I'm happy it's close to home and will definitely be going back soon. read more
