Los Molcajetes — Restaurant in Los Angeles

It's a whole in the wall, so it's focus is not on the interior decor or nice dining area, so don't expect that here. It's simple seating, clean, humble, and great service. Their priority is on the food. Homemade comfort foods from El Salvador. And if you know about homemade food, then you'll know it doesn't pop out in 5 minutes. Be patient and wait because they're working their magic and it'll come out soon. Full of flavor and generous portions. I got 2 papusas, one with cheese only (because I'm a crazy nut for cheese) and the other mixed with cheese and chicharon. It was devine. I didn't want it to end!! My mouth is watering again as I remember those savory bites and cheesy goodness. If you're in the area, give this place a try, you'll be pleasantly surprised.

On a side note, give yourself time to find parking since there isn't any dedicated lot for this place except for the curb of the street. There is a local neighborhood church and on Sunday morning all parking was taken because their services were taking place (they are all very kind people!). Just keep it in mind for future, I ended up parking next door to burger King as a...

I was originally introduced to this Salvadoran restaurant about 15 years ago by a coworker. I enjoyed the food but hadn't been back because I had closer options. Well, our go-to pupusa place has been shut down for a little over a year and we have been trying different places but none have been to our satisfaction. Today I remembered this place and decided to try it out. I did recall having to wait last time so I googled the phone # and called in. I was able to place my order quickly and told it would be ready in 45 mins. Came in right on time and my order was packed and ready. The place looks exactly like I remembered it. Nothing fancy, kinda dark but clean. The food, however, was top notch! Some of the best pupusas I have ever had and the pastelitos are by far the best I've ever tried!!!! Yes, it takes them a while to get your order ready but the food is worth it! It's freshly made and taste delicious. Just do yourself a favor and go with plenty of time when dining in or call ahead. Trust me, you NEED to try this place!!! There's a reason why it's still around all...

This place a hole in the wall meaning that if you will literally miss this place if you are not careful. As soon as I walked in I realized that the restaurant was not to busy with customers but then realized as I waited that alot of the orders that they had pending or working on are pick up orders. That is exactly what I did, called in my order and it took around 40-50 min to be ready. I love the fact that you feel the authenticity with how the restaurant is runned by a few ladies and one gentleman doing all the heavy work. Reminds me of a family owned place where everyone puts in their part to make it run smoothly. I got home and the pupusas that I ordered taste delicious. I'm not a huge fan of cheese over powering my pupusas which I know most people are, and that's why I rate this a 5 star because everything was delicious other than that minor preference of mine. Highly recommend this place if you want some...
