Mi Lindo San Vicente — Restaurant in South Gate

Honestly, I don’t even know where to start. I placed an order at this restaurant for a traditional dish, "pollo en crema," but what I received was far from what I expected. It was nothing close to a traditional meal, which is typically prepared the same way at every restaurant. The rice was completely soggy, the vegetables were overcooked, and the chicken was incredibly dry, almost rubbery.

She essentially told me that if I didn’t want my food to be soggy, I should have ordered everything separately. When I asked what could be done to resolve the situation, I wasn’t looking for a refund—I just wanted a proper meal.

Don’t let the edge of the pupusa fool you, its just a lick of beans, it don’t tase like revuelta. I have tried other locations and it’s better than this tbh. But if cheese is your way to go, then...

Pupusas were very tasty, not greasy and perfect masa to filling ratio. The curtido complimented the pupusa along with the right amount of spiciness. The plantains were ripe and sweet and when combined with the frijoles and crema it stimulates the taste buds in all directions....
