Viva El Salvador Restaurante and Bar

The food is ok, but the prices are out of control , just to give you an idea pupusas are $ 3 each, yuca con chicharrones $ 10.99, sopa de gallina $ 20!! Not worth it!! I do not like the ambiance!! And the service didn't impress me. I do not recommend this place.

Don't call to place an order here, just show up. The lady I'm the infront will forget to place the order till you get there. And say you didn't call for an order. The lady in the front is rude.

Small mom and pop Salvadorian restaurant with plenty of space for an even or party. Came here to get my parents some pupusas for lunch. The lady in the back is quick and makes awesome pupusas from scratch. Try the mix popusas

Excellent Pupusas!! I ordered their daily special & enjoyed them very much(visit 1/8/2021); I'm salvadoreña so I should know; unfortunately I returned on 1/12/2021 to order more & the consistency was gone. The edges were full of dough, but the flavor was still there in the middle areas. I had to remove all the edges & throw it away. It was wasteful!Las pupusas estaban deliciosas, llenas adentro y no masa durante mi primera visita de enero 8; El curtido tenia rico sabor y si regresaré a comprar en el futuro fue mi impresión. Desafortunadamente regrese el 12 de enero y no eran las mismas Pupusas. Estaban mañosas, llenas de masa en las orillas y otros lugares de las Pupusas preservando el sabor y relleno por lo menos. Me tocó remover todas las orillas de las pupusas y botar eso. Ricas de sabor pero masosas está vez! Qué tristeza de no tener consistencia vendiendo el producto en este lugar. Dudo que regresaré!! Lástima porque siempre ordeno 20 pupusas durante mis visitas y perdieron mi negocio.

*Le sigh*Came back to give this a second and final chance because personally any business where I can back a fellow compatriot, well if it's good I can guarantee you that me and mine will always back it up. Having said that, this is not one of those places.The first time I put in an order on DoorDash of 10 pupusas and 2 tamales. After picking up the DoorDash order I arrived home to find out that three pupusas are wrong (supposed to be revueltas which consist of cheese, beans and chicharron) instead I got three of just cheese. Nothing else I felt a little jipped. As I live about 25 minutes away by freeway alone perhaps 35+ after going off the freeway; I didn't want to make the trip back, but perhaps I should have called to make them aware.About three weeks have gone since and my parents were like, "Okay let's give that joint a second chance" because why not the remaining order last time wasn't half bad. So we did.I called the joint thinking maybe when a DoorDash order pops up it just doesn't give the restaurant personnel the proper info when it pops up and so I placed what I thought was clearly spoken order in Spanish (I'm bilingual). Whilst placing said order I mentioned to the gentleman taking the order that they had previously messed up and and given me 3 JUST CHEESE pupusas and he took it like that was inconceivable. Telling me that revueltas have 3 different things and no way they did that. Anyways, zero sympathy was given.And so it brings us to this. When I get there tonight to pick up the order I asked if they had separated the different types of pupusas just as to not have them get mixed up again. While paying the lady attending to me then she tells me that revueltas are $2.50 each even though Yelp, DoorDash and other services have them at $2. She said next time mention a special for $2 pupusas but minimum is 15 per order. So we go a little back and forth, I let her win she charged $2.50 per pupusa. By the way this was also after telling her they messed up the DoorDash order last time that I myself picked up.Needless to say, she didn't even at the minimum offer a sorry. Funnily enough she even tacked on $1 fee for using a debit card for a transaction well over $26 dollars. I asked if everything was right, she confirmed that it was telling me it was 8 pupusas and 3 chicken tamales this time (I mean that's what she charged me for at least). If it wasn't cause my mom told me to check the bag BOOM I would have been short 1 tamale. But the errors and mistakes don't stop there. When someone asks for 3 of any kind without there being 1 of any other kind you would think they wouldn't mess up. Remember, I said 3 chicken tamales.Well, we get home well over 35 minutes one way no traffic and we start diving into the food (the pupusas) this time the order was correct they actually tasted pretty good. But then we get hit with another mistake, wrong tamales. We got one chicken and 2 pork. We're befuddled as there shouldn't have been any confusion againnnn as I personally asked for 3 chicken. Fool me once, shame on me... fool me twice, won't get fooled again.My mom made an observation, she said the place looked dilapidated and since the pork tamales showed signs of being reheated she said that since there were no customers at the joint that they probably put what they want in orders as to get rid of what they can. She also said they probably don't care to make an error because customers will realize the mistake already far away at home. I kind of agree. There shouldn't have been a mistake today, let alone after I let them know twice (and in a nice way mind you) I didn't ask for a refund, discount, or even apologies. In all this place gets a 0 of 5 from me, but Yelp gives a minimum of 1/5 so whatever.

This was my first time doing a delivery order through grubhub from this place so I'm not sure if it would have been different if I would have picked it up in person. I've never ordered pupusas and not gotten salsa roja and curtido. It was so disappointing! Too bad because the pupusas themselves were pretty good.

Not recommended. Prices are extremely high for a every Sunday tradition!! If at least quality of food were worthy but it is NOT! Management and owners please do not try to cover your remodeling expenses on poor quality and customers' pocket. Still your place is unpleasant. Never again will spend a dime on this business.

The food here is amazing excellent service. Everything got here quickly. It's calm in the restaurant. I would recommend people to go here for a quick meal. 10/10 would come again

Just by chance, I stopped into this random restaurant picked up a couple pupusa's and tamales. Fantastic.

Food was really good I def recommend and it's not over priced. Wish they had a closer location to my house.
