Panaderia El Salvador — Restaurant in Los Angeles

The food is great, I will be honest. It's the greatest place to get real salvadorian pastries, but what's really disappointing is the way we're treated. We came all the way from San Diego, CA. It was not an easy drive with really heavy traffic, we called in advance to make sure we'll make it on time, and we got there at 6.45pm, 15 mins before they close. I know it's kinda late and I understand an employee wanted to go home right at 7pm, but hiding behind the stand and pretending you don't see a customer is just a new level of disrespect. It's not even the fact that were treated that way, but the fact that we DID call in advance to make sure we'd be able to get what we came for ( and by the way, we drove not for 1 empanada, but for a $200 of pastries for a big family gathering). I just want an owner to know who's working for him. Cuz as a person who owns a small family restaurant myself, I would want to know if my employees treat my customers that way. Thanks everyone's for attention. PS. Make sure you're there at least 30 mins before closing if you want to...

Was getting my tire fixed at discount tire, so I walked over here for lunch with a coworker looking for food. Little hole in the wall Salvadorian place next to random stores, also doubles as a little bakery.

I got the Pupusa de chicharrón y queso x2 and a Pupusa de frijol y queso. A Pupusa is a small salvadorian item that's essentially a fried tortilla with stuff inside it. The one I got had pork (chicharron) and queso (cheese), while the other one had frijol (beans) and queso. They're $1.50 each! Way cheap, since they're not too big, so I got three, which was a good portion for lunch. They were really tasty, and crunchy, and cheesy. Definitely a very homely place, and they also have a decent bit of other dishes and aguas frescas like horchata and fresh juices.

Cool...
