Guayabal SalvadorIan Restaurant and SB — Restaurant in Santa Fe Springs

You dont find good salvi food around too often. But as soon as I made my order the lady in the back was balling up masa and working the magic. I got myself one of every popusa they had some rice and beans, with fried bananas plus tamales you know if they have them you gotta the them and a coffee and I dipped. They didn't look busy and there was no one there but people had their food ready and were coming in and out. This place was lokey popn. I aint Salvi but I grew up with them and this takes me back to many diners at their homes. Theirs a cheese that they specifically make with a Salvi style caper that makes their dishes truly authentic and these guys had it. I believe good food tastes better the next day unfortunately this food didn't make it past the hour. I was burning myself trying to eat a tamal and coffee while on my way home. Tamales bomb its a must have. Over all this place is on point. The food was so good I forgot to take pictures. Sorry but there's...

Decent spot for Salvadorian food. Doesn't have the expansive selection other Salvadorian restaurants have in the surrounding areas, but they have all the staples. Most importantly pupusas. They were really good. Staff was super friendly and welcoming, which is always a plus.

The location is in an industrial zone, but it's quite family friendly and they are open on weekends too. The plátanos fritos weren't ripe enough for my personal preference, but I should have asked how ripe they were...

Be sure to ask for a copy of the receipt before paying!!! I found TWO extra "custom amount" charges on my receipt. Only ordered two shrimp burritos to go. Did not ask for extra salsa or anything extra but was charged additional $. Additional charges were not disclosed. Cashier only told us the total and took the card then flipped the screen over. We left a generous tip for a to go order. Luckily I texted the receipt to myself and was able to see the two additional "custom amount"...
