Simply put, these pupusas are awesome. Great service too! I always look forward to going back!

Tried the bean pupusas from Vchos Food Truck and they definitely hit the spot. The pupusas were hot, thick, and filled generously with beans...comfort food at its best. The crispy edges with the gooey inside were a great combo. The curtido and salsa on the side were tangy and fresh, adding just the right contrast to the richness of the pupusas. read more

Besides my regular tacos this Mexican is a big pupusas lover which learn to eat them at my job at the airport working with Salvadorians usually I do have my 3 spots which is Vchos truck whenever they're around Orange County Area and my other 2 regular spots. Honestly anyone can say they make pupusas and they're the best but some are disappointing way to small and thin more dough than the filling don't even go with their curtido and that is the main problem with anyone selling them. Vchos yes can get little pricey but there's an old saying you get what you pay for the amount of filling if it's revueltas,loroco, pork spinach, shrimp etc this place won't disappoint. There's a combo with 2 pupusas you can choose from fried platains and side of their fresh juicy curtido they do have an option of gluten Their menu is not only Pupusas but also Pan Con Pollo, Yucan Con Chicharron, Empanada, chicken pastelito and their vcho sliders authentic Salvadorean food and also I suggest to give them a try again people are used to anything people sell even if their day is authentic and their not don't go base by the bad reviews but give them a try read more

This food truck is pretty good. According to their website schedule, they have 3 trucks and I happened to try #3. The shrimp and potato tacos were pretty good. I love a hard taco dorados style taco and these did not disappoint. The salsa went well with them as well. I would definitely order them again. The shrimp pupusa that I tried was solid. I preferred the tacos but it did make me want to try more of their pupusas. I'd like to try the mango ceviche as well (was sold out), and I heard their pan con pollo that they sell at other locations is pretty good. I will definitely give them another try when their food truck is back. read more

We definitely made a mistake dining here. To start the food is extremely pricey, over $100 on food for four people and only one person got a drink. The wait was really really long, after ordering it took at least 40 minutes for all of us to get our food. The service was fine, nothing to complain about there. We assumed the food would be good since there was a long line and a lot of people waiting for their food but I guess that's explained by how long they take to get food out. There were two orders of sliders, one order of pupusas, and an order of carne asada fries. 3/4 items were wrong. We were given the incorrect drink, one of the sliders had fries that were too salty, the other slider had no salt and was made wrong, the carne asada fries were lacking any salt and were weirdly sweet, the meat was really tough and the cheese reminded me of the Mexican blend shredded cheese, and the pupusas were the wrong ones and weren't like other pupusas in texture. Most of us ended up throwing out the food after just picking at it. The only person to eat a chunk of their food which were the pupusas has been suffering through food poisoning. Overall was a bad experience and I wish I would have checked out reviews before ordering. read more

I love pupusas!!! This was my first time trying this trick. I was at the Topanga Vintage Market that occurs every 4th Sunday at Pierce College. There was only one guy working this truck and there were long lines so service was what it was. He could only do what he could do and he did a great job. My pork cheese pupusa was great. I added jalapeños which made it extra tasty. The sauce and slaw that comes with it was the perfect pair. I can't wait to try a different one the next time. read more

So my bf and I originally went out here in North Hollywood for Kogi but this Pupusas truck was right behind it so we decided to grab some as well. There were no other customers, maybe because it was still a little early (around 5:30pm). We placed our order and didn't wait long before they called our name. We took our order to go to enjoy at home with our other food. My bf got the pork, cheese, and bean one while I got the pork and cheese one. We added our toppings and enjoyed it. We've both had it before from our friends/coworkers so it wasn't anything new to us. I personally don't remember what they tasted like which is why I went and got one on top of my other food truck order LOL. Tbh I liked it but didn't love it but my bf really enjoyed it. Corn flour just doesn't do it for me. I think it's mainly the texture because flavor-wise, it was delicious! But half way through, I was already done with it. I much prefer flour over corn but it was good regardless. They had a lot of other items on their menu that looked really good! Not sure how often they're at this spot but will definitely come back to try their other items, especially those plantains! IG: @ammysalamii read more

I hired VCHO for a company sponsored event for my 2,100 employees over a four-day period. What a phenomenal event Wendy and team hosted for my 1st and 2nd shift team! Our staff was so pleased with the freshness of the food for the number of associates they were serving. Everything was packaged nicely and very appetizing. The whole team was polite, worked quick and made everyone feel welcomed. I would 100% hire the VCHO team to cater my next event. read more

Vchos was at the night market at Yamashiro's and it seemed like the best option out of a not very good field of also rans. Pupusas, easy choice, right? A tortilla stuffed with pork and cheese what's not to like? I couldn't wait to dive into a warm pillow of meat and cheese. The pupusa was kind of flat, if you look at my photo you'll see what I'm talking about. Maybe it's because I didn't go with the full pork, bean and cheese option but it came with a side of beans so it seemed kind of redundant. I like salty food, but it was pretty salty, fortunately that slaw was there to balance it out but just by itself it seemed a bit overseasoned and maybe it's the night market surcharge but was a little overpriced. read more

[Review #457] 2019 Yelp 100 Challenge (112/100) Vchos Truck is one of the regular food trucks on rotation at The Reserve, with a variety of offerings that's yummylicious. I tried a couple of things but my fav has been their SHRIMP & POTATO TACOS (seasoned shrimp, housemade mashed potatoes, topped with cotija cheese & house salsa in a crisp corn tortilla shell). This plate borders from satisfying to leaving me slightly hungry, depending if I ate breakfast. The shrimp & mashed potatoes are always perfectly cooked & seasoned; I just wish the ratio of shrimp:mashed potatoes sides more on the protein side. I really enjoy crunchy shell of the fried tacos... it's sealed so the ingredients stay inside, whereas a typical taco usually has some filling falling out. And the house salsa has a nice l'il kick. One of their specialties is the pupusas, with 8 different flavors to choose from, & it's served with curtido (pickled cabbage) & salsa. The cabbage adds some acidity & salsa provides some heat to the flatbread. It's a decent portion for the price. Vchos Truck is fast, friendly, & by far, one of the more consistent trucks on our campus. Most of the food trucks are quite expensive, usually over $10 a plate, Vchos is one of the more affordable trucks (items are under $10); however, the portion borders between almost enough to just right, which can leave you going hungry. Still, I'm always tempted by the crispy, crunchy shrimp & potato tacos... mmm... mmm... good! =) Recommended: Shrimp & Potato Tacos. read more

I went to the truck in Lakewood on Friday. The food was good but the service was bad. I made the mistake of going there on an empty stomach. I ordered 3 things and waited about 40 min to get my order meanwhile about 5 people that came after me got their orders right away. They did offer a free soda because of the wait but I would've appreciated them communicating from the beginning that the wait was going to be long because I would've opted for a different option read more

Omg the pupusas here are so bomb! For those of you who don't know, pupusas are a traditional Salvadoran dish that is made from a thick (and I mean THICK) handmade corn tortilla (masa) that is filled with whatever your heart desires. Those fillings include cheese, different varieties of meat, refried beans or veggies. I love how super cheesy and warm they are at Vchos! That first bite tasted like heaven. I could literally eat these every day for every meal! Definitely recommend getting pupusas if nothing else. Adding plantains on the side is a must too. The truck is usually around the LA area but makes appearances in Orange County like at the OC Night Market. You can easily find them through social media though, like with many other food trucks. The food is so worth it! read more

Whatever you do, stay far, far away from this truck. Horrible food. Horribly long wait times. Service isn't horrible, but it could be way better. The menu pictures make all the food look so good, unique, tasty, delicious . . . what you get is gross, boring, bland, bad food at outrageous prices. I ordered the loaded steak fries and a chicken pastelito/empanada. Total came to about $17. The empanada, per the menu, has "a savory, crunchy corn pocket loaded with seasoned chicken white meat, diced potatoes and carrots". The dough was not crunchy, barely even crispy. It was also dry and bland. The chicken was not seasoned at all, again, this was also dry and bland. What carrots? And the potatoes were more like mashed potatoes. It was like a giant chicken crouton. The cabbage slaw was crazy salty and the salsa was bland. The fries are "fully loaded with thin sirloin steak cut, melted cheese covered with our house made chipotle and guacamole sauces". No, these fries are not "fully loaded". It was an embarrassment with how little meat there was to all the fries. Mind you, these fries suck. They are soggy, salty, and cut at the worst thickness. At the very least, they got the cheese right. The steak was not "thin", rather it was chunky but it was also not "latin" whatsoever. It tasted more like teriyaki style and it was weirdly, overly sweet and did not pair well at all with the rest of the fries. The sauces too? Those sucked. Did I forget to add that we waited almost 20 minutes for the food? And the person handing out food was also handling food, while wearing gloves, we saw him texting multiple times and not change his gloves. Gross. This truck is a pathetic excuse for anything Salvadoran, let alone "latin" or central american. read more

Burnt, greasy food. Hassle to have it replaced with something cooked properly. Not worth the effort

Went to their VCHOS Truck 2 out in Eastvale. Saw their instagram and the food looked good, so we had to give it a try. Got the revueltas (pork, beans, and cheese) with platanos. I think this place is not bad. The ratio of the masa and the filling were pretty even. Only thing is I wish they had an equal portion of veggies. I finished all the veggies they provided for one pupusa. Without the veggies, I felt like the pupusa was missing something. Notes: If you catch them in Eastvale, they're posted in a parking lot, so keep in mind there aren't any places to sit and eat read more

I have to preface this by admitting that I don't know what a papusa is supposed to be like, but if it's a pocket of meaty, cheesy, savory, salty goodness, then these guys are doing it right! It's a food truck. (Less than) $10 is a deal! 2 for $7.50 1 side for $1 These are little pockets of cornmeal, so also GLUTEN FREE and VEGGIE options! Grilled crunchy on the outside Steamy soft on the inside. If they weren't so good and cheesy, you might be able to share with a friend. These are big, about 12-15cm across. (4-6") the chicken was wider than the pork. Definitely hand made. Pork was a little more salty than the chicken. Both meats are even a bit more salty because of the cheese. And... Pickled slaw. Salt bomb. But it's not everyday. Side of rice. When you're hungry, you look at the little cup and think, "I'll destroy that in one bite", but it's a decent amount, and a perfect compliment to the papusa. And really the right amount. read more

It's so rare to find an authentic Salvadorian food place much less a truck. I've seen Vchos before but never tried. I'm just sorry it took so long to try they're delicious food. We went to the Downey location. The food is reasonably priced and they don't skim on the food. I've never tried Salvadorian ceviche but it's one of my favorites now. So refreshing and an abundance of flavor including mango. You must try the chicharrones with yucca! I was reminded how good fried yucca taste with just one bite. We also ordered pupusa revueltas. They were so good and very filling. To me what makes or breaks a great pupusa is the curtido and Vchos is so delicious I could eat it alone. Bottom line, if you want to grab some authentic Salvadorian food and you're in Downey. Stop by VChos located in the Stonewood Mall. read more

Tried the truck out while participating in CicLavia. We had the bean and cheese and spinach and cheese. They were sooo good sooooo cheesy. My son had wanted the bean one and he really liked it and so did I but the spinach one was my personal favorite. I'm very hesitant to buy pupusas because too many times they have been all masa but that was not the case here. These are filled and you get filing in every bite. One star off because I wished they had given us more curtido. It was a hot day and it was really refreshing but it was only a few bites. Also I didn't really care for the salsa they gave us. It was very pasty and wish it had been more spicy. read more

This is a Salvadoran food truck that came near my job on a Thursday noon. The truck parks at one of the corners of Tesla design center. I got combination 1 which bring a pork pupusa, the picado and the salsa. It also brings 2 chicken pastelitos (you could say Salvadoran version of an empanada) and a small container of rice and beans. The food was great, everything had a good flavor. I really liked the chicken "pastelitos", it had a great taste. I would definitely be willing to try their other dishes. read more

The second one I tried was a chicken + spinach + cheese pupusa, again - perfect amount of filling and packed with flavor. Along with the order of a couple of pupusas came platanos. Definitely worth a try! read more

Steer clear of Vchos Pupuseria Moderna if you value your time, money, and taste buds. My recent visit to this catastrophic truck left me utterly flabbergasted by the abysmal service and the appalling quality of the food. Let's start with the service--or lack thereof. From the moment I approached the truck, it was evident that customer satisfaction was not a priority. The staff, if you can even call them that, seemed more interested in chatting amongst themselves than attending to the customers waiting in line. After watching several customers ahead of me, it was clear that they were met with a nonchalant grunt and a dismissive wave, as if they were inconveniencing them by daring to patronize their establishment. I, along with hundreds of others, waited in line for two hours only to be turned away with no warning -- still, hundreds of people, reasonably upset were line. this sentiment arises mainly in that there was no warning whatsoever of when the servers would be cutting off orders. But the real kicker came when my friends ahead tried the food--or should I say, their Arctic expedition rations. The pupusas, touted as the truck's specialty, were frigid according to a majority of customers. It was as if they had been prepared hours in advance and left to languish on the counter before being served to unsuspecting customers. The once-promising flavors were muted and dull, overshadowed by the overwhelming chill that permeated every bite. From the abysmal service to the frigid food, this establishment made the experience something I hope never to approach again. read more

Food was oily af. I know what to expect but wow. Bad. And they lie about not being allowed to sell in chino. City of Chino city manager said no, that's not the case. They had other legal issues and that's why they can't come to Chino. Their food is overpriced and they just don't give you enough meat mostly folder stuff like fried yucca. Their service is slow too. Don't bother go elsewhere. Ripoff. And if you criticize them on social media these babies block you. How immature. read more

My friends and I tell everyone we know, "If you happen to see the Vchos Truck while you are out and about, PULL OVER!" Vchos is definitely one of favorite food trucks. My most favorite thing to get there are their shrimp and potato crispy tacos. OMG, so good! Fried to order, those tacos are heavenly! I love their pupusas too! Ok, at first, I thought they were on the pricier side but it is so worth it. Recently, I noticed that they have vegan revueltas where they use cashew cheese. I bought the regular revueltas (pork, bean, cheese) with their vegan revueltas just to compare. The vegan revueltas holds on their own! I've told all my vegan friends to go try them. I also recently ordered their platano empanada and completely surprised me to find out that the "crust" is made out of mashed plantains and the filling was custard. Instant favorite! Newest love is the steak and fries. Marinated steak in a bed of fries. It was hard to veer off from my usual shrimp and potato tacos but I am glad I did! (My ideal situation is having a friend to be there with me to share both the steak fries and shrimp potato tacos for less guilt!LOL!) read more

First of all let's start with the shrimp tacos those are amazing ! Those were my most favorite item on their menu the shell was crispy and they are very generous with their shrimp perfectly seasoned. Now let's talk abut then pupusas they are not greasy at all which is great. They are a good size and their cabbage topping is the best I had very vinegary just how I like it. The pupusas could have a little more flavor and not have to wait for the inside to taste the flavor. Now the pan con pollo I wasn't not in love with it the bread was very soft and very huge which is good for the price they are very generous with the chicken. Now let's talk about the wait !! It is a crazy long wait because they do make them fresh they don't have them sitting there which is the authenticity of the pupusa eating fresh of rye grill. We waited about 1 hour both times I been there. So be prepared take beach chair and wait to be eat all that deliciousness read more

Went to it because it was the most popular food truck at the Yamashiro night market. Also I do love pupusas. Since it's from a food truck, I wasn't expecting too much from them. But I would say these were a let down and don't compare to some of the best pupusas I've had. The "shell" was super soft and a bit soggy. The filling was ok -- the spinach with cheese and chicken was better than the pork & beans. The pickled salad was super bitter and didn't seem fresh. Overall it's passable. read more

As far as the food goes, they are consistent. Always tasty and made to order. The only complaint I have is that they are a little slow. They seem to be slightly understaffed. I understand that you have to wait when it's made to order, but a 30 minute wait for loaded steak fries seems a bit much. The gentleman at the register was handling that end of the truck and expediting. He was the MVP of that truck. I feel like one more person to help make the food/expedite would move things along. That's just my opinion. I'm going back again. The food is good! :) read more

The Vchos Truck was at Grand Park for Dia de Los Muertos Noche de Ofrenda this past weekend, and even though I usually pass on standing in long food truck lines at events, I really wanted a Pupusa. Not too many people I know like Pupusas, but I love them. The wait was long, but it was so worth it! I got one Bean & Cheese Pupusa and one Loroco and Cheese Pupusa. Never heard of Loroco, but the man helping me said it was as kind of like squash, so I gave it a try. Had I known these Pupusas would be so good, I would have gotten three. The sauce that came with it had a nice, mildly spicy flavor, I just would have like a thicker consistency and a little more. Aside from that, I was very satisfied. The two people working the truck, male and female were very nice and helpful. Hopefully I'll run into the Vchos truck again, but if not, I'll definitely go looking for them. read more

This truck has been on my list for years and I mean years. I love pupusas and pastelitos. I've been eating them all of my life due to the fact that I'm full blooded Salvadoreño. I've been following this food truck for years but we have never actually crossed paths. Happened to be at El Segundo Brewing Co today (must have beer) and they were there so we had to taste. Pupusas de loroco and the fan fav revuelta, pastelitos and empanada were ordered and I was impressed most by the pastelitos. Should be a Pastelote on the menu because this thing is huge compared to the norms. Deliciously crispy and flavor filled. Every bite was magic. The pupusa de loro con queso was fire and revuelta was equally delicious. My only knock was the small serving of curtido and the tiny addition combo of casamiento. Salvi's love their curtido and that size of rice and beans for 1.50 is upsetting to be perfectly honest. The empanada was devoured by my wife so that's a HUGE 10 star . I would definitely buy again if I ever see em again. Well done all around. Salvadoreños would be very proud of the taste this truck shows the world and should definitely support. read more

Pupusas were good not great because the red salsa was extremely salty. Glad I didn't pour any on my pupusas. The potato with shrimp tacos dorados were ok. The shrimp just wasn't necessary. My taste buds weren't feeling it. Red salsa was the same used for the pupusas which was salty. Overall, food and service was ok read more
