5 Star Review - Yelp
Best Popusas not only in Pasadena but in Los Angeles. They also have seafood. Both ladies that work here are very nice. My boyfriend and I always enjoy coming here.

The staff was friendly and helpful. They knew that it was our first time there and my parent's first time eating Salvadorean food. I had the stewed beef (guisado) - which was delicious. The meat was flavorful and tender and just fell apart with the touch of the fork. The pupusas revueltos were crispy on the outside and mega cheesy on the inside. Perfect when paired with the type of cole slaw served along with the pupusa. The pupusa espinaca was my mom's favorite. The owner would come by and ask if we needed anything and any request was attended to immediately. At night they change the lighting from the bright over lighting to a more romantic amber colored lighting and spanish music is played to set the mood. It was a beautiful dinner experience.

This is a Mom and Pop place and I loved it. It gave me the feel of restaurants back home. Loved the Bean and Cheese Pupusas, and the salasa and chips were perfect, and the rice deliciously fluffy. It's on my way home and I will be back. Yum! Thank you.

Restaurant review: La Pupusa Loca in Hollywood
The Salvadoran restaurant in east Hollywood dishes up the sweet tastes of home -- chilates, sopa de res and heavenly plantain empanadas.
Actress Lupe Ontiveros
Lupe was a regular who sat at the same table,
ordered the same pupusa's and plantains.
She was a very lovely guest to have.
"La Pupusa Loca knows their way around the El Salvadorean menu; one of the best food spots on Santa Monica Boulevard!"
