San Sivar

Food is authentic and delicious! Pupusas are amazing. Plantains are the perfect side dish

As an American Latina with Central American heritage (¡viva Honduras & El Salvador!), I was so happy to find I had a Central American mom&pop restaurant near my place.Pupusas and Sopa de res were staples in my house growing up so every time I grab food from here, I get a little taste of my childhood. The staff is super friendly and their food is good! Worth trying and returning for sure.

We came to eat here today after a baseball tournament and the food was so good.Location : inside there's a good amount of seating. We were a party of five and found a table without issue. Nice & cleanService: the woman helping us at the front was really nice. Great service.Food: we ordered a pupusa, fried fish, tacos, plátanos con crema , yuca with pork and Carne Asada. The curtido was so delicious. we love pupusa and have been to many places that don't have good curtido, but this place nailed it. Pork and steak didn't have a ton of flavor but when you paired it with the curtido , it was delicious.I would definitely recommend this place!

I have been to the San Sivar in Costa Mesa, and had a positive experience. I was happy to see that they opened a second location in HB nearer to me.I ordered about $30 of pupusas "para llevar" to go. The chiccharones y queso ones were excellent. The masa was soft, and there were a lot of fillings. Secondarily the curtido & salsa were very good. All my rellies I shared the pupusas with, liked them better vs the ones we typically buy from the food truck on Surf City nights.I believe the HB location is smaller vs the CM location. But it works. The HB location is quaint and homey. Likewise the service from the lady in front was very inviting. She told me how long they have been in biz, so I applaud them for being successful. I also applaud them for taking the risk in opening a new location in HB.I have already returned several times since my first visit that I am the Duke. Thats how much I like this place.

I was turned to loving pupusas. Not Salvadorian here. But my goodness. Savory food. Amazing taste. Good service by the owners. Recommend it

Deben poner atención en la manera como hacer las pupusas, por ejemplo las revueltas no mezclan los 3 ingredientes y hace que la pupusa tenga mal sabor, y de hecho el chicharrón no tenia buen sabor, se sentía como viejo.El servicio la muchacha de enfrente intenta ser amable, no lo hace ni bien ni mal.El ambiente y la comodidad es mucho mejor que el restaurante de Costa Mesa.Si me preguntan si voy a regresar, la respuesta es NO

I don't know if it's just my luck but last time I arrived 7:40 in the other location and they told me it was already too late for having a table. Then I came on time to this location to find it CLOSE on a Wednesday. (Even tho they announce on the door they close Thursday) , anyway, I'm tired of these business that don't care about clients. Food used to be better also I've been many times so I guess I need to find a new place where I don't spend my time and gas for nothing.

I have had pupusas at a number of different restaurants, and my hands down favorite have been at San Sivar - both this location and the Costa Mesa location. What I like about them is they taste fresh, they taste like they're made with good quality ingredients, and they are not greasy. Furthermore, they're not too fluffy and not too dense - they have just the right texture. I highly recommend them. The restaurant was clean and the woman who took my order was very friendly and helpful.

I had a craving for pupusas and this place delivered. I didn't expect a high end dining experience, just good food. This comfy neighborhood spot delivers. We've been back several times and the food is very consistent. Yum!

A great place to have amazing authentic pupuas!! No place like this, I like their sauces. Way better than other restaurants I've been to. Friendly and fast service. Fresh and delicious!!
