My mom said that the pan was like she made it and her panes are delicious. My pupusas were tasty and cheesy. The cabbage and salsa had good flavor. Horchata was so good and I normally don't like the brown one Lol Service was quick and easy, of course our food took some time(20mins) which I was ok with. I knew it was going to be worth it. Parking really was not the business though if you're lucky the laundry mat will let you park behind the restaurant. Weird! But there's street parking. I'll see you guys another time, Gracias !

I've tried at least two dozen pupusa spots in LA from street stands to markets to brick and mortar…read morespots. This is my absolute favorite in LA! I can't speak to authenticity as I'm not Salvadoran but as a former immigration attorney I've had Salvadoran home cooking many times and this has been one of the best experiences I can recall. The pupusas are perfect. The masa is just right; not dry or too moist and there isn't any processed masa or burnt taste. Every single one has a nice leaky cheese and often is browned to absolute deliciousness. Even something as simple as frijoles y queso shines and when paired with the salsa and curtido (yes, they add chiles but they're for flavor, and just the right amount of heat) you want to rip them apart and savor every last bite. I think the secret is the cheese. I with everyone used their cheese but it's wonderfully salty and melty yet it balances well with whatever kind of pupusas you choose. Be sure to check out the market across the street for Oaxaqueño specialties. Parking can be a hassle with the laundromat and taqueria in the same spot but there's usually parking East of their location on Pico. And if you don't have a car or want to suppress whatever noises you make while chowing down on incredible pupusas they're on Uber eats and Grubhub. I feel like the $4 they charge is criminal for what you get. They really should cost more considering how much other spots charge but they're as generous with their portions as they are with flavor in every bite. And in the event you have leftovers, they reheat beautifully in the microwave or the air fryer. (And this is the only spot in LA where I've been able to untie the small plastic bags they give your curtido and salsa in without having to tear the bag open) They're not open late so order early, order often and enjoy an unparalleled pupusa... or ten (I recommend ordering 11, at a minimum).

They say church people really know how to cook and it's true. So much flavor in what my father and I got today. Also they weren't stingy with the servings either!

My dad was super pleased and had no complaint whatsoever. We're definitely going to be going when he visits me and his granddaughter next year.

The Pupusas I've been coming to this little pupusa stand a…read morefew times now, and I'm so glad they finally have a Yelp page! The pupusas here are so good always freshly made and full of flavor. I usually get queso con loroco and revueltas, and both are delicious and a good size. Four pupusas came out to about $12, which is super reasonable. If you order six or more, they do give a small discount, which is a nice bonus. Cortido & Salsa Options They give you two types of salsa one spicy, one mild and honestly, both are great. I usually go for spicy, but I tried both this time and loved them equally. The cortido is that yellow Salvadorian-style one, which I rarely see at other Salvadorian spots. My mom (who's actually from El Salvador) said that's the more authentic kind! Funny enough, she doesn't like the yellow cortido but she loves the pupusas here. Quick Service The lady working there is really nice and super fast. I ordered four pupusas, and she told me it would be about 10 minutes. I went inside Northgate to grab a few things, and by the time I came back, my order was ready in just about 5 minutes. Love that! Convenient Location & Easy Payment It's right in front of Northgate, so parking is easy. Most people just park in the lot since it's a quick stop. She accepts cash and Zelle, which I really appreciate because I never have cash on me. I've also texted her a few times to ask if she's open, and she actually replies, which is super convenient. Ambience It's an outdoor stand setup right in front of Northgate, small but clean and welcoming. The lady cooks everything right there, so you can see and smell the pupusas being made fresh. It gives it that authentic street food charm that makes it even better. Final Thoughts This little stand is honestly one of my favorite hidden gems. Great flavor, quick service, fair prices, and super kind people. Whether you're craving a quick bite or just passing by Northgate, definitely stop by and grab a few pupusas.

Just needs much more chicharrón inside for chicharrón con queso. My sons got beans and cheese and they loved them! This is a street vendor and looked like she was working alone so have patience even though she was pretty fast and we ordered 7 pupusas. She has a couple chairs for someone to go sit there and eat. So definitely not for a big family to eat there but take it to go and you're good! The ambiance is very street-style -- casual, noisy, and quick.
