La Pupuseria Del Pepeto

This place is such a whole in the wall, but the pupusas are so bomb. Get the revuelta. Really small place, it’s easily missed from the street. Parking in the back.

Dude, this place is off the chain. I always get the pupusas revueltas w cheese, beans, and meat. The plantains are bomb too, but I usually end up bringing them home bc I am full off the pupusas. Omg, and you need to get the Agua Ensalada. It is probably the most delicious drink in the entire universe. Bring cash – this place is so mom and pop, that that’s all they accept!

Authentic Pupusas! I mean that sums it up, you’d have to come try them yourself to believe me. I ordered the «Tipico#2» plate which is a combination of pupusas platanos and beans. I recommend this place to anyone trying to have some good tasting pupusas.

Had pan de gallina and pasteles de carne. The pasteles were over cooked and super oily and the pan had a lot of chicken skin. Will not be going back.

Some of the best pupusas I’ve had, service was great! Will definitely be coming back!

I have only had the Pupusas here, but it is enough for me to want to come back. They are freshly made and full of flavor. I had one with beans and cheese and one with chicharones, they were both awesome. The service is not that great, but is a hole-​in-​the wall. Other than that, I had no problems. Be warned though that the horchata is El Salvadorian style which is a bit more bittter than traditional Mexican horchata.

The food was great! You might need to order your food if your on your lunch. They do take a little long.

1^st time coming here. Def did not expect much. When you grow up having homemade Salvadorean food next dooe everything else is just meh.
Really small place, but very clean. Didint have to wipe doen my own table. 2 TVs one on each wall, parking is shared with apartments in the back.
Now to the nitty gritty, pleasently surprised at the flavor of the pupusas. The empanas de platana were a let down, not droed enough and too chewy. The revueltas were awesomeSauce chicharron filling actually had flavored. This is now my 2^nd go to spot for Pupusas. El Molcajete is still the best in my book.

Looks of the place is not so appealing regardless we were hungry and stopped to eat here.
inside its pretty average. Small… good thing they have two tvs’ so u can enjoy the game.
service is not the best I’ve ever had, I mean its no cheesecake factory lol. BUT its decent.
u can enjoy a couple of beers but not big enough to bring so many friends. Its a very relaxed-​family-​kind– of restaurant.
From what I observed its very clean from where u sit to the walls and kitchen.
Their tamarind, horchata, and jamaica drinks is not ‘home made’.its like the ones u get at the taco place nearest u. So don’t expect Salvadoran horchata here.
Food came exactly at 10minutes!
Food was AWESOME!

Got lupus as de queso con chicharrón they were amazing im not salvadorian but these are some of the best I’ve had, we also ordered chicharron con yucca frita ! Also pretty great in flavor

Yes! I am a FAN! This place has the best pupusas in Downey! The cheese ones are simply delicious and generously packed with delicious cheese! Getting my mouth watery just thinking about it.

This place has the worst service. I called to place an order and first I was told they would be ready in 15 min. When I got to the restaurant they told me 15 more min. They took a total of one whole hour!!! And they got the order wrong!!! Not only can they not tell time, they were unapologetic, no sense of urgency and couldn’t even write down the correct order never coming here again!!!

Amazing! The pupusas were so good! It was like eating the pupusas around 8^th and Alvarado in LA where it’s predominantly Central American so you know it’s authentic. Good prices, clean. Looks like a hole in the wall on the outside but it’s quite nice on the inside. Pupusas are around $ 2-​$ 2.50 depending which kind you get. Their platanos fritos are sweet and perfectly priced for the big portion you get. They also sell imported beers from $ 2-​$ 5 which is cheap. Definitely recommend to anyone craving pupusas. It tends to get warm inside so if you can order to go.

Pupusas revueltas were mighty tasty. And not greasy! The platanos fritos with blended beans and cream were perfect. Take out in the future is a go.

My wife is Mexican! I’m Central America. I was looking for some good El Salvador food cook by Salvador people and found this place on Unilocal!Can’t stop eating at this place my wife is not to fond of this place (it’s the Mexican in her) but I love to eat here, it is so authentic. If give this place chance you will not regret it!

Let me just say OMG. It is so difficult to find a good pupuseria these days. I randomly found it on my way to the post office next door. This dish is not difficult to make, but not anyone can make it. Many have tried but not all succeed. They might think that they know, but no way.
This place is a hole in a wall but it is totally authentic. It makes you feel like you are in El Salvador. Their customer service is wonderful. The food takes a while, but you have to keep in mind that they make it from scratch as soon as you order it. The pupusas are awesomely flavored. Let me say the curtido or cole slaw is spiced just right. Everything taste so fresh.
If you are looking for a place to eat that has an authentic taste and feel, this is the place to go.

The place looked a little weird. The kitchen didn’t look too clean. Prices are too high for the quality of the food. The pupusas had a weird after taste. The ensalada (Salvadorean drink) was not the best. When I asked for the quesadilla (Salvadorean bread dessert) there was a gnat inside the container. I don’t think I will be visiting this place again. Sorry.

This place is delicious period.
Being half Salvadorian, I’ve had my fair share of pupusas and this place has to be on my top 3.
Their horchata and ensalda drinks were refreshing
Their fried plantains with sour cream and beans were great, even though I wish I would have asked for the plantains to be a little more over cooked (not too soft, if that makes any sense)
My all time favorite pupusas are the revueltas (mixed ingredients of cheese, beans, and chicharrón/​fried pork crackling) and Pepeto’s revueltas were very tasteful. The filling was right on point. What I did enjoy is that there was plenty of filling, unlike some places were all you have is the handmade corn tortilla and not enough filling.
Their pupusa de queso (cheese pupusa) were also good, that cheese was literally falling from the sides of the corn tortilla, loved it!
The curtido, all I have to say is yummmm! Yes, they have it in a container reused from one customer but in all honesty, if you’ve eaten at Salvadorian restaurants, that’s all you see (the majority of the time). Get over it. It’s not like you’re using your hands to grab it… they have tongs! Some people are just too damn sensitive.
Anyway, I can’t talk about the rest of their food since I have yet to try it, but I can speak on behalf of their pupusas… delicious!

*Disclaimer* I am not Salvadoran but I have tasted authentic, homemade, fresh from El Salvador pupusas so I know a little bit about what’s good and what isn’t in regards to these delicacies!
So my friend posts a picture of the pupusas she’s made at home for dinner and that triggers a craving for them. Unilocal to the rescue!
I don’t know how many times I’ve driven down Imperial and I’ve never noticed this place! If you’re heading west bound from Paramount Blvd it’s on your right hand side. There’s a drive way to enter into the parking lot in the back. You can enter the restaurant through the back door.
The restaurant itself was so hot inside! Despite fans blowing in there it felt like an oven! Luckily I was getting my pupusas to go.
The restaurant was empty which was not a problem for me. I ordered a shrimp pupusa and a vegetarian pupusa. My order took a while to get ready but that’s a good thing, it meant it was being made fresh! I think in the future I’ll definitely order ahead to save time.
I didn’t study the menu too well but I did notice that they had Mexican food as well. The restaurant looked clean, colorful and room for about 25 – 30 people. My to go order came with the traditional curtido and salsa. The curtido was a little spicy for my taste but I was still able to handle it.
The pupusas themselves were pretty delicious! I was very content with them. They had jusy the right amount of cornmeal masa, cheese, and veggies/​shrimp. I was happy and fulfilled when my meal was done. I will definitely be coming back here to fulfill my pupusa cravings in the future! I’m really happy with this local find!

Found this place on Unilocal.Order mixed and bean pupusas. Very good authentic pupusas. A little slow to make. You can call in your order before. Will return to try other items on menu.
