Cash only. I can't believe I didnt take a picture of my pupusas. They were delicious. My friend go a breakfast plate. It was good and had a great variety. Service was fast and friendly. My first time at a Salvadorian restaurant and I was not disappointed. Definitely want to try more of the typical food. read more

Ridiculous that this place does not accept debit or credit cards as a form of payment. Their cash registers have the ability this form of payment. Yet they have an ATM that rakes up fees from the use of a credit card. Keep up with the times! I will be posting this everywhere! Avoid this place at all costs! Es ridículo que este lugar no acepte tarjetas de débito o crédito como forma de pago. Sus cajas registradoras tienen la capacidad de esta forma de pago. Sin embargo, tienen un cajero automático que cobra tarifas por el uso de una tarjeta de crédito. ¡Manténgase al día con los tiempos! ¡Publicaré esto en todas partes! ¡Evita este lugar a toda costa! read more

I love the Food of this restaurant .The Pupusas, pan con pollo, carne asada and many more things that they have

This place is the place to come for great food, great service, and great view....this place is great being coming here for over 10 years, I recommend the mix parrillassss y una Regiaaaaa..... read more

To be honest... This place was pretty horrible! The restaurant itself is okay but the floors are an accident waiting to happen. We went for a baby shower with our children. We were slipping from left to right. It was also pretty noisy and we couldn't really have a conversation with the person next to us. The service wasn't so great. The guy was taking too long to get drinks out he wasn't checking on us and believe me we needed silverware, napkins, etc. Now the food was pretty mediocre our pupusas were coming out burnt and pretty much everyone was getting their plates in random orders. The caldo de pollo came with a side of chicken and veggies and tell me why the chicken came out first and the broth came out 30 minutes later!!! Now to what I really wanted to emphasize this bad review was on the receipt . When we got our bill we noticed that they had scratched off the original total off the bill and proceeded to write their own total. With tax and gratuity our total would have been $199 tell me why they added another $45 to our bill. Total thievery! Don't come here go to la Flor Blanca instead. I'm not saying to be mean but it's just not worth your money. read more

The carne asada is absolutely delicious and the portion size is big, the meat size is big and soft not tough at all. They give you an appetizer with tortilla frita with guacamole. The pupusas are really good too especially the queso ones and there not too greasy and have just a right amount of filling. read more

Definitely worth driving to South Central LA! They have parking once you turn into 43rd st to the right. During the the day ... We were able to choose our seating, the waitress came right away to take our drink orders. The food came at a decent time. All the meat was greasy Lu cooked with great grilled flavor. The rice and beans were authentic. The PUPUSAS were cooked well but a tad bit greasy ( normal) I definitely recommend coming during the week before 5 otherwise you will run into traffic and the homeless folks surrounding the place. Service was good read more

The food was good . They need to update there information on Yelp as for there hours and form of payment they don't accept credit cards. So my sure you take cash before getting there and get surprised with incorrect information. read more

Worse experience ever they charged us 20% gratuity plus 10 percent charge for all bill in very small prints. I fell service was great just over priced Suprised he hasn't been sued for that. read more

We were charged a SURCHARGE FEE, I asked why we were charged for a SURCHARGE FEE the response was because everything has gotten more expensive, my response was " I would understand that if the plates were cheap but obviously also the plates have increased drastically. This isn't at all a luxurious restaurant and we paid close to $100 for only 3 meals that's ludicrous. DONT COME EAT HERE NOT WORTH IT. read more

Sonsonate Grill - Recipe - Latin American Near Me - Los Angeles, California

We would always go here for family gatherings for the past couple of years but as time has passed you can tell that management doesn't care anymore. I went recently for a birthday and we noticed they gave our dish to another table and even the waiters talked among themselves and didn't bother addressing it to us until 20 minutes later where we said something. The waitress made it seem like it was the cooks fault and we still waited for another 10 minutes for our food. Towards the end we noticed a friend in our meal and I told the waitress but didn't even apologize but rather said they'll be more careful next time and she'll talk to the cooks. I work in food service so I understand sometimes there are oversights but after today I don't know how to feel about this place. read more

Sonsonate Grill - a restaurant with colorful lights - Latin American Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I always pass by this restaurant but had never visited. It's on Vernon and Avalon right next to the smog check place that we use for our cars. We always thought that it was questionable because the exterior doesn't look too attractive due to graffiti. Once you park, it's a different vibe. Restaurant's parking is not that big, but it's nice to see the palm trees all around. Once you enter, it's a cute restaurant with nice decor, comfortable round tables with very comfortable chairs. Some chairs look worn out, but that's why there's a surcharge on the receipt. Can be used for repairs, utilities, maintenance, staff wages... etc. The menu is very easy to read. Fair prices compared to other local restaurants around the radius. Even with that surcharge, we paid what we normally pay at other restaurants around the neighborhood, so fair game. So we are 2 adults and one 10 month old. Restaurant is clean, Restrooms available and clean, lots of sitting area. You enter and choose your sitting preference. Service was very quick. We were greeted and received complimentary Crunchy tortilla slices with guacamole. We ordered 2 micheladas at $10 each. I got one with modelo, and my wife got a corona extra one. Large size michelada. Larger, cheaper, and tastier than other spots we normally visit. The food was so fresh and tasty. I got 3 pupusas of cheese con loroco, My wife got the Carne asada plate, and our 10th month old got the cheeseburger with French fries. It was a lot of food, great presentation, great service, friendly staff and very attentive. There was a African American couple that sat on the table directly behind us. It was great how the waitress took the time to go through the menu with them. She offered and recommended. I was jealous because their blended margaritas and plates looked amazing. Will definitely visit again. Read the reviews, but in my personal opinion... the experience today from beginning to end was great. read more

Delicious food and amazing customer service. This is my go to place when I am craving pupusas

If this is the Salvadoran restaurant I tried with my family, it was so amazing!! The service was great , the food was outstanding. The only negative is the restaurant is very small. I would to see them in a larger place!!! I know it would be packed out all the time!! read more

This place deserves 0 stars. I have been coming here for years & the service has became worse & worse every single time. They charge you a " restaurant surcharge " & when you ask why they don't give you an accurate explanation. The first time I asked they told me that it was for dinning in. So I order to go and notice the charge & ask and the person charging me tells me " read the sign ". Anyways, I end up paying & leaving. When I get home, I check my food and there's a huge long black hair around my platano. I call to let them know that I will be going back to return the plate & I want a refund. The girl that had helped me out the first time made a face as soon as I walked in & sent someone else to help me out. So unprofessional & bad service. I can definitely say I don't recommend this place & will no longer be going. read more

Be prepare to wait... every time we visit the service is very slow. The owner needs to get more waiters because there's like 1-2 for dinner time. They also charge you a "restaurant surcharge" that you are not informed of until you get the check. Definitely would not be back here in a while. read more

worst customer service never got complementary fried tortilla n guacamole until I asked for some Also acompañó got her food b4 me I had to go and ask the waitress about my food n she said that "apparently " the kitchen for got to prepare my food. I asked for a MechiledA which taste literally like Clamato "tomato juice" no beer flavor on top of that it was not cold it was warm.now when the food came we had no silverware to eat our food I had to asked for some plus my acompañó food was supposed to b serve w tortilla had to ask for them not only that they charge you a surcharge with out previously you knowing by law They must post of the surcharge where it's visible and you are fully aware as u walk in to the establishment read more

My family had been coming to this restaurant but the las two visits have been unpleasant. The restaurant does no accept credit cards and has an ATM machine that never works. They over charge the bill and when we asked why they charge extra, we were told that it was a restaurant fee. This fee is because they are members of the chamber of commerce. Bunch of bull from their part. Never again. read more

Although this restaurant is prettier inside than the other location on Western, their service is kind of bad. The waitresses didn't clean our table SEEING that there was still food left over from the previous group. How rude! I went back this past Saturday, and the waitresses from last time are still there. They only act nice to your face. They won't even come to ask if you need anything else unless you call them. However, instead of ordering pupusas this time, I ordered a carne asada plate. IT WAS THE MOST DELICIOUS MEAT i've tasted. Their appetizer is delicious also. :D and the horchata is good. To put it plain and simple: Pretty place on the inside, Great food, bad waitresses. read more

So this restaurant is not in the nicest part of town (looks) but don't let that keep you from coming. Parking lot is small, you can park on street or next door at gas station but it can be a hassle. We just waited for someone to leave main parking area and it took about 10 minutes so it wasn't too bad. The restaurant is roomy and big. It is busy, busy and that is always a good sign for me. We were greeted, seated and walked to a second seating area that they have. I assume this can be used for big parties. They had big tvs with soccer game going on so that was nice. Décor was nice as well and not tacky. The equipale round chairs were comfortable, I thought the big fish on the entry of the restaurant and the eating benches outside were really nice. We actually took pictures with the fish. The bathroom was a little dark for me but it was clean. The menu has lots of options to choose from. I especially like the shakes/licuados that they offer. We ordered our food and waitress brought our drinks along with some gorditas with guacamole to eat as our food was ready. The gorditas are deep fried dough with guacamole dip. Its hard to not keep wanting to eat those gorditas they are delicious and the guacamole was superb. I ordered pupusas. A pupusa is a traditional Salvadorean dish. It is made up of corn dough that is hand shaped into a tortilla and is then filled with different sides such as beans, meat, cheese and heated. Served with tomato sauce and curtido. Curtido is fermented cabbage slaw. The pupusas I ordered were the revueltas, frijol con queso, queso con loroco. (first one is a mixture of beans, cheese, pork meat, second cheese and beans, third cheese and loroco flower) Hands down these are the best pupusas I have eaten. The curtido was good it was not too vinegary and tomato sauce was good. I will have to come back and try some of their other dishes another time. Pricing is reasonable and not over priced. read more

Sonsonate Grill - Pupusas - Latin American Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Really good food! Prices are reasonable, I came here based on a recommendation and I'm not disappointed. I'll be back!

Disappointed. Service wasn't good and half of our food was undercooked. All of us got sick the day we ate there.

The food is good the server is nice but the service is too slow. Maybe they need to hire more people or giving better training coz we ask for michelada and toke sooo long time to arrive, when she bring to us she said sorry coz run late. She should come early telling us it will take little longer and the worst thing, too much flys! The food just got served and a looot flys land in the food. I never saw something like that. I think something is wrong there. read more

The food is ok is even that its a little pricey is not bad a single pupusa (3.50) its kinda high but prices wasn't my issue!!!! Heres is the reason I gave them 1 star es because I'm not sure If this place is one of them places that they include the tip on total but I dont like that I still think that's a right to have you own to desire how you would leave it all depends on good you were threaded how ever my tab was $15.60 I gave'em a 20 dollars bill and they never came to say thank you or here's your change nothing they ignored me so kept $4.40 as tip I waited to see if they were coming back never did so I took off BY THE FOR THE RECORDS I WAS GOING TO LEAVE THE 4.40 AS TIP BUT THE FACT IS I DIDN'T LIKE IT AT ALL THAT THIS PEOPLE JUST KEPT THE CHANGE. LA COMIDA NO ESTA MAL TIENE BUEN SABOR auque los precios estan algo Altos osea esta algo Caro pues para que me entiendan una sola pupusa cuesta $3.50 pero no es esa mi mala experiencia en este lugar el problema fue que mi cuenta era de 15.60 les di 20 dolares y nunca me llevaron mi cambio espere y espere y se hicieron las locas nunca me llevaron mi cambio de $4.40 no es por los 4.40 porq yo iva a dejar los 4 dolares de propina es el hecho que no me llevaron mi cambio no se si este es uno de esos lugares donde cobran la propina incluida en la cuenta si es asi tampoco me gusta eso soy delas personas que cree que una propina se basa en lo bien atendido que fuiste por tu mesero o mesera es la Razon porq les di una tan sola estrella tienen que trabajar en eso . read more

I love the food here. I usually come here for their breakfast. It never disappoints. I came on Valentine's Day with my sweets. We both had the Desayuno Ejecutivo. Mine had no chorizo & extra casamiento. His had scrambled eggs & burnt carne asada. Very disappointing. The service was so-so, I had to waive down our waitress to get him another beer. So yes, service was a little slow for a Sunday morning. But, it was Valentines Day. The prices are good, the portions are big. It's best to pay with cash. The "Desayuno Ejecutivo" includes: eggs, carne asada, chorizo, casamiento, avocado, sour cream, cheese & fresh handmade tortillas. Enjoy! read more

I love it here. Their seafood soup and pupusas are the best. It's always packed so arrive early if you want a table. Highly recommended

If I had the option to give a zero star rating i definitely would. The customer service here is horrendous extremely awful and poor service. I walk into the restaurant doors with my party all the waiters were behind the counter gossiping and couldn't even sit us down. We found a table and sat down. We have been sitting for about 10 minutes and no waiter approached our table to offer us a menu. 15 minutes passed until she approached our table with an attitude and gave the menu. Granted the food is good. But I wouldn't come again after that poor treatment. I spent $50 for 5 pupusas and a drink. read more

Very nice place, the lady who attended us was so nice and she was really pretty (Yanet). Food was really good. This review is coming from a salvi girl. Everything felt fresh and they give you a big good plate for a very good price. I recommend it. I went during the morning was able to dine in and took the rest of my food to go bc I couldn't finish that big plate lol. Very nice place to eat w family or even by yourself. read more

As an avid Latin food consumer, I was very disappointed with the way my food was prepare. Not only was the surrounding streets full of homeless people there was a crack head arguing with people in said parking lot the ambiance was not good at all and the service was mediocre at best. read more

Mediocre food. Poor service. The hostess took forever to notice us. When we were finally seated, the waitress took an inordinate amount of time to take the order. The food wasn't a complete disaster, but not the best, either. Not once did the waitress came over to ask if we needed a refill on water or anything else. We had to get up and go ask for silverware and other things. It even took them a long time to bring the check. Would I recommend this place to someone? Perhaps, but with many caveats. Comida mediocre. Servicio pésimo. La recepcionista del restaurante se tardó añales para siquiera vernos. Cuando al fin nos sentaron, la mesera se tardó una cantidad excesiva de tiempo en tomar la orden. La comida en sí estuvo bien, aunque nada de que pregonar. Ni una sola vez se acercó la mesera para preguntar si necesitábamos más agua o alguna otra cosa. De hecho, tuvimos que levantarnos para ir a pedir cubiertos y otras cosas. Hasta se tardaron en traer la cuenta. ¿Recomendaría ir a este restaurante a alguien? Quizás, pero con mucha advertencia de antemano. read more
