El Baron

I got one of the breakfast specials (yay all day breakfast!!) which came with cheese, avocado, sausage (not sure what type), eggs — choice of scrambled or sunny side up, rice and beans, plantains, pupusas, and chili. It was really nice and filling. For my appetizer, I had my first Salvadoran tamal de pollo and it was really good, wrapped in banana leaf. Reminded me a lot of a Vietnamese dish actually. The jamaica was good although could be a bit more sour. Overall, recommend for its good food and decent pricing! Oh, and the music is definitely not a bother at all I don’t know what those other reviews were talking about…

Food is excellent . No park at all

Horrible I been ordering for a few years I paid 47 dollars for 2 pupusas and 1 chile relleno that taste horrible it was full ot tomato onions and chile we know as salvadoreans that is not how is suposs to be it was small taste awful and I call to complain they didn't take any responsibility for it this place suck I regret sending them clients over the years don't go there el con sabor is much better

The food is always incredible there. Staff are time always nice and accommodating cute quaint Family Restaurant. 🥰

Food was very fresh! Sope de Cameron is delicious I’m used to the red broth this broth is also very delicious the Shrimp pupusas are incredible!

For great Salvadorian food, this is the place, I love to come get breakfast, and it never fails. The servers are nice, and the menu is translated to English for those who might need it.

It's been years since my last visit but the food is delicious as always and the service is top notch. I totally recommend it!!!!

The service was great, the ambient was quiet because we are inside but outside in the parking lot they had loud music and it seemed like a fun place to eat. The food was very tasty, we ordered some pupusas and the Carne asada von camaron plate.

Yummy food Great service Amazing vibes Brought my family from the bay and we all had a lot of fun and enjoyed ourselves

Parking is a little hard to find. Once you walk in you're sat in their dining area. The servers are friendly, and menu is pretty full of options. They have a music box where you can pay for music. The food was okay, the chicharon was super greasy and regretted ordering.

Negative stars all the way. Food didn't have any meat, was just plain masa and my grandma's squash pupusas both had something resembling gravel. Absolutely disgusting and angry. What a shame since we were one of the first customers when they opened many years ago and I was a child. Never returning here again.

One of the few Salvadoran food places that I have tried that is delicious, great flavor, everything well cooked. exceptional service, indoor seating and patio seating with music on Saturdays. I assume is because of karaoke night Parking is tough as any place on LA. You can definitely find on the street and walk one or two blocks...

It's just SO delicious here that I find myself craving their food!! Despite that I find the takeout packaging is a bit much, they are a favorite place for yummy food!

Have been coming for years and never disappoints. Best pupusas and they have this shrimp soup with cream and it's sooooo delicious .

Ima be real and acknowledge up front that all I've had here are pupusas, plátanos con frijol y crema, and the world's most bangin ensalada. But, in spite of that, will confidently say that this is my favorite place to get pupusas in LA. The curtido is the best, imo, and since I love anything with vinegar, you can win a girl over with some good 'tido. Miss living in close proximity to El Baron, but love it very much and everyone should go there (and I bet you should also get more than pupusas!).

My first el Salvadoran place to eat Wow Amazing taste and selection The service and ambiance transport you for the time your here and it's warming

Stopped by this place because it was recommended...first thing I noticed is they don't have parking lot. Hard to find street parking but doable. The waitresses are nice and attentive. Good service. I loved that they brought a whole tub of curtido and bottle of salsa roja. Some places limit you, they do not. The pupusas are really good. Ordered the revuelta with plenty of curtido and salsa. I ordered the sopa de pescado y camarones. They asked if I wanted it with cream or without. Although waitress mention w/crema was good, I didn't want to take the chance that day but I will next time. Without crema, I felt that the caldo needed more flavor so I used salsa with the tortillas a Mano. It turned out very well. Seemed to me that all employees speak Spanish but I am sure you'll be able to get your point across in English. They sell beers as well. Got me a modelo to wash it down. Definitely going back. Thank you to the crew.

The BEST mariscada is really good, and other foods too. This place has small parking and street parking, the service is good and the food too. I always like coming here.

Sabrosa comida típica. Probé las sopa de mariscos con crema y pupusas, ricas las dos. También probé los nuegados pero no fue de mi gusto. A toda mi familia le gusto.

Wow wow wow! Our new fave. Generous Pupusas, amazing grilled shrimp tacos with perfect grilled flavor, and a bomb ceviche. We can't wait to try the soups and are truly mystified why there's any bad reviews but that's Yelp mentality for ya. Practice your Spanish if you aren't fluent (they do not speak English) and hit up this Salvadoran gem!

Food is amazing! Doesn't look fantabulous from the outside but don't let that fool you. My go tos: Sopa de res Platanos fritos con crema y frijoles Pupusas de loroco

Ordene la gallina India. La porcion muy pequeña y la "gallina" era mas hueso que carne. La ensalada suoer pequeña, apenas un par de rabano, tomate y pepino. Lo unico bueno fue el caldo. En cuanto al servicio, la mesera nunca vino a checar despues de traer la comida. Tuve que pedirle si daban refill de cafe, de lo contrario jamas me hubiera traido.

I'm not sure why the reviews here aren't higher. None of them seem to be about the food. The only way I can describe the food here is shockingly delicious. First time I've eaten their food and only tried the Rellenos de Pacaya and the Sopa de Gallinda India (chicken soup). I'll admit I've had better Sopa de Gallinda where the broth is a little richer. But it was still a very very good broth and full of squash, green beans, carrots etc. A great feel better soup. The Rellenos de Pacaya was fabulous. Filled with cheese and in a super flavorful light tomato sauce with peppers and onions. Maybe not to everyone's taste because pacaya is naturally bitter, but I absolutely loved it. If you don't like bitter flavors the chili or squash rellenos might be better choices. Meals came with exceptionally good beans, rice, pupusas and sliced tomato, cucumber and radish. I can't wait to try the rest of their menu but am a little worried that pacaya might be addictive.

Ordered food from here. I start with the beans as I'm eating I feel something hard and jagged in my mouth. I spit it out on a towel and start searching for the item. I find it and turns out to be a hard plastic shard or piece of glass. I hate to think what would have happened if I would have swallowed that. Had to throw away the beans. Be careful when eating from here. I called the restaurant and the lady said we don't have glass here. I explained well I found this in my beans. She is like ok I will check the beans.

We used to go to this place all the time. My husband is Salvadorian and their Pupusas and Sopa de Res used to be good. We placed an order in advance today, and then they decided to cancel on us at the last minute. The worst part is that we did not even receive a notification. I had to log in to UberEATS to check the order status to find out! We will never order from here again. I do not recommend El Baron whatsoever.

Pupusas had no flavor . Curtido needed more flavor as well . For the price they were always very small . You can find better spots :)

Very tasty food and generous amount! I had the bistec encebollado (steak with onions) which comes with salad, rice, beans and tortilla. I loved it. My friend had the seafood soup and we shared some Pupusas. It was my first time drinking Regia beer. It was tasty, same like their lightly sweet red wine. Our waitress was nice. Coming here makes you feel comfortable and relaxed, because everyone is friendly and helpful. They offer inside and outside seatings. I will definitely come back again! Gracias! :)

This place makes the BEST papusas I've ever had. I don't know what they're doing in that kitchen, but it's magic. I dream about these papusas. I have only tried the papusas though, so I'm not sure if the other food is good.

This has become my favorite pupuseria in LA place they make delicious pupusas the curtido is flavorful and authentic and the empanadas are delish always stop here when in the area. No parking but I'm willing to deal with LA parking for these pupusas. I also ordered empanadas de leche and they were just as delicious. Love this place

Amazing food! Ordered for pick up and got some pupusas revueltas and a campesino breakfast! Will definitely be returning.

I been here a few time early in the morning. I have had their pupusas, Salvadorian breakfast, tamales, and atol de elote. Everything has been very tasty and flavorful. Customer service has been great as well.

Delicious Authentic Salvi food, today I ordered the caldo de res and tamal de elote plate both great the girls are friendly

Pupusas were decent and ambiance was nice, I was just really confused how this restaurant claims to be "Salvadoran" but serves more Mexican food and drinks than anything else?

Excellent food. Was passing by while getting my phone fixed. Looked extremely authentic and tasted amazing - especially the beans.

Was an okay food, nothing extraordinary. Foods a bit too expensive but if I would try again

Delicious Pupusas! And Horchata. I tried the Chile relleno my co-workers got the Sopa De Res and Carne Asada plate. Everyone was happy. Great , fast service.

Fucking nasty... I spent $85 dollars on 5 soups that were disgusting. The sopa de res had old sour meat and to top it they onky put 1 tiny peice of meat in all the soups. Second they forgot to even give us the rice so I had to go back and pick it up. The chicken that came with the other soup was a joke, I asked for pechuga, which was the breast and onky gave me the bone. The fucking rice for the soup was put in a sauce cup. Not worth it at all... pupusas had more masa than cheese. Very digusted..... I am salvadorean my self and to top it a chef here are way better spots you should go to. (El sonsonateco, Puerto la union, pupuseria el mana or you can definitely hit up vermont and pico and get food amazing food from all the salvadorean vendors, its a day market and such an amazing experience only came here cause I'm sick and needed to get something quick and didn't want to take out cash. It's not letting me upload photos. Wish I could of shown you guys.

THE BEST SALVADORIAN FOOD IVE TRIED the women are super nice asss well. The beans are exactly how I remember them when I went to go visit my home El Salvador

This place has really tasty Salvadoran food. I ordered the pan con pollo, essentially a chicken sandwich in a French roll. The chicken is cooked in a delicious sauce. They then put some in the French roll with tomato, cucumber, cabbage and water cress. Attached is a picture. Absolutely delicious and I could only eat half of it. I also got the horchata, which was really good. The place was really crowded, and it took about 30 minutes to get our food. They do not have parking, so we had to park a block away in the neighborhood. In spite of the wait and parking issues, I will go back and definitely recommend it.

Waited in line about 20mins to pick and pay for my phone order. Once I paid I noticed my food was incomplete was just given only pupsas and didn't receive my two cups of soup. Waiting an additional 10mins to receive the missing soup. Once we home we noticed this plastic bag in our soup.

having la hembra! bomb! And an ensalada drink, BOMB! Place is just great!! I love coming here for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The pupusas are delicious, really enjoy the spciy kick on the curtido. All the breakfast options are awesome from el economico(on a budget), to La Hembra(comes with a pupusa), and of course El BARON(comes with Salvadorean sausage). Just go, you will be happy when you arrive, while your eating, and when you leave.

Giving this place 2 stars. I've tried the pupusas and "pan de gallina" (chicken sandwich). The pupusas were dry/overdone and the pan the gallina was not authentic (at least not the way I've had it in El Salvador and all other Salvadoran restaurants!). What's with the remolacha (beet) on top?? I've not delved into trying the other items. I've also not experienced the service here as I've only had food for take out. But as a guy, the place is creepy. (were I female, I'd not step anywhere close to it). One of the existing reviews sums up why this place is creepy: "Sexy Servers Regardless of age ( I mean that) Cougar Alert! WOOO!!". Many of the women/girls are wearing very revealing clothing and with heavy make up. It's almost like this is how they are luring customers. Perhaps the guys who love it really only go for the "feast for the eyes" and hoping for a happy ending after their pupusas. Save the creepiness and head straight to "La Usuluteca" close by on Washington Blvd.

Just happened to be in the area and stopped by for some pupusas. We went inside to place our order and got the following pupusas: pupusa revuelta (chicharron and cheese), refried beans, chicken, mexican squash. They were also so good and fresh and came with a big container of tomato salsa and cabbage. I loved that the masa wasn't thick and heavy; they were prefect. My only complaint is that I would have liked a spicy salsa to go with them, but otherwise they were great! We also got the aqua de pina and it was super refreshing. Don't expect anything fancy but the pupusas are good!

Every time my brother comes to town we always come here. I don't know why, but I guess maybe cuz we had these exact types of foods in the town where we grew up. Anyway, I guess I do know why. Either way, we always get a few of the beef and chicken sopes which come with the best topping of pickled cabbage and Chile. It's sooo good. We also always get the coctel de campenchano, which is the mixed seafood cocktail. It's so fresh and flavorful, spicy and yummy! Served with crackers it's perfect! Then I always get some beans cuz I can't help myself. Lol.

This place has been one of our favorite location for central american food. My girlfriend order yuca con chicharrón y pescaditos fritos. She returned her plate because the yuca was dried, the chicharrón was super dry, burned and probably old. The pescaditos or pescaditas was charred and super burned. Anyways she returned her plate and ended up with another pupusa and tamale. She had no problem returning her first plate. I still recommend this place for any other plate.

This is my new favorite breakfast place in town. They have the best chorizo sausage, grilled on a stick. The pupusas are good, although not as good as Con Sabor pupusas on Venice Blvd. The Casamiento had a very unique and tasty flavor. There is so much food for the price, it is an amazing deal. Everything tastes so fresh, the meat, the produce, they have it all. I do wish they brought regular half and half to the table as coffee creamer instead of dairy-free creamer. I probably could have requested that though, so no big deal. The staff is very friendly and accommodating here. I must say, the place was freezing cold inside last time I was there, but once I warmed up with some coffee, I felt fine. This is the best value, freshest tasting, and filling meal for the price in my area.

Went there on October 17 around 7 pm to pick up some food and got the worst customer service from the cashier . I've been coming here for the last 10 years and have never been treated like this . I had to wait at least 20 more minutes just to make my burrito a wet burrito. The cashier even told me to wait outside and she would let me know when my food was ready. This place needs to learn good customer service skills. Need to hire people that actually want to work and not treat customers in a rude way.

On the weekends they have karaoke/singers who I think are like owners or family members because it's the same people every time. I bring this up because they are terrible singers and the music is loud enough for the hearing impaired to hear it from 3 blocks away. Annoying.

OK so I've just eaten the tamale and a mouthful of a Pupusa and I've already given them 5 stars. Try the Regia lager beers too

After a regrettable pupusa fiasco at Gloria's Café, I came to El Baron searching for a more refined experience. This Salvadorian restaurant is large and spacious with antiquated exterior brought alive by a vibrant décor filled with wall to wall soccer memorabilia, countless flags that waved from the ceiling; and large flat screen TVs streaming live soccer games for those interested. The tables were stacked communally across the center with the counter and kitchen enclosed to the public eye, leaving a small open window for those stopping for a quick pickup. The atmosphere was not fancy but very festive, personable, and colorfully decorated that housed a good number of Salvadorian diners who were there for an early dinner. My server was quick to apologize for her lack of English fluency, so in return I apologized for not knowing anything about their menu. As I considered the range of dishes that were available, the server chimed in with her recommendations which were not listed on the menu but sounded ideal. It was quite an unusual experience to order off the menu, so after an exchange of ideas I was given a Pupusa Ayote ($2) which came with a sizable pupusa accompanied by plenty of piping hot zucchini and melted cheese at the center. The strings of zucchini were highly visible while the texture of the cheese oozed with all the thick and hearty dimensions. The taste of the pupusa was very subtle which complemented nicely with the savory Pupusa Chicharron ($1.90). This customized pupusa was underscored with loroco, fried chicharron and melted cheeses blended together. The taste of the chicharron was outstanding with sweet subtle flavors drawn from the loroco flower and piping hot cheese. The corresponding curtido was tangy, carried good texture, and not overpowered by oregano. Aside from the curtido, I was pleasantly surprised when presented with an additional set of pickled vegetables where the carrots embodied a spicy kick while the onions were subdued but tangy. The pureed salsa however, was runny and watery with some separation between water and the actual sauce, but it was easy to overlook such detail since everything else was outstanding and memorable. My plate of Platanos ($4.95) was also customized into a smaller order, which came with three thick long pieces of plantains served with sour cream with a soft exterior naturally sweetened at the core. These plantains were ripe and super sweet with just enough grease to make them sinfully delicious. To my surprise, they also carry fresh Guanabana Juice ($3) which was refreshing, concentrated, and affordable with a few small seeds that dwindled at the bottom. Just when I thought my dishes were special, other tables were adorned with gigantic bowls of seafood sopas of all kinds. All of their dishes were served with good temperature so the leftovers were still piping hot by the end of the meal. The server was attentive and did a marvelous job at orchestrating each phase of my meal. With the price, value, and ability to mix and match ingredients that highlighted some of their off-the-menu ingenuities, I came away very impressed and appreciative of their warm hospitality that further extended my insights into Salvadorian cuisine. I would highly recommend this place for pupusa fans, families, and groups for casual dining and festive occasions. With the qualities of their pupusas outweighing the ones I had at Gloria's Café. I would be very interested in coming back to try their breakfast items, sopas, and other excitable dishes.

I went here with a big group..Out of everything we ordered.. I only liked 3.. maybe 4 things.. 1) The Siete Mares Soup was good. Although, I felt they were stingy with our soup. I looked at other tables. and there was a GRIP LOAD more of things in there. WTH. All we had were shrimp.. and barely 2 stingy crab legs. 2)I also liked their rice.. it was made to perfection.. and the spices in it were delicious. 3) the Shrimp Tostada... PROBABLY the healthiest thing we ordered. It was made up of imitation crab meat.. probably some shrimp.. and some lemon. And.. 4) The chips with bean and cheese.. but barely. The green salsa they brought out with it was good. Not spicy. But after that.. everything else was just average. I'm not saying it was bad.. but it wasn't make you salivate just thinking about it kind of food. The pupusa was average .. it tasted just like any other ones i've tried. Their kebabs were okay. HUGE.. And their Horchata.. hmm.. I didn't like it. Although I think it's because i'm used to the mexican version.. not the Salvadorian ones.

I ordered pupusas de revuelta and queso y frijol. Everything was delicious. Quick service. Nice customer service. The pupusas are pretty big and worth the price.

4.5! I took off 1/2 a star because finding parking for this place is not fun. Other than that minor detail everything was amazing! I came here because it was said to be one of the best pupuserias in LA. Seated right away. Very fast service. I ordered 3 varieties of pupusas. All were very delicious! They paired perfectly well with the pickles cabbage and salsa. 3 huge pupusas for $7! Can't beat that! Will be back!

Oh, my goodness, totally unexpected taste feast!! The food is not only fresh and beautifully presented, but also hot and the taste explodes from bite one- from the pupusas to the enchiladas to the plantain, everything was an El Salvadoran expedition in cultural culinary!

This Salvadorian restaurant has the BEST Mexican food menu around. I absolutely love their food. I have had their Pupusas which are GREAT! But their Mexican standards are some of the best I've ever had. It's my own failing for not trying more of the Salvadorian menu items. I just really love Mexican food. I will do better and branch out. Excellent food!!

This place is good but my issues here are parking ugh It's such a bitch to find parking ... I like certain foods more than others like the pupusas are bomb but he caldo de camarón or the 7 mares is so damn SALTY It was never this salty before I use to love it back in the day ..maybe the chef was replaced

Food is good except pupusas they are tasteless and small for the price ....I suggest the owner to tell their staff not to wear perfum so many scents when they walked by our table it killed my appetite. This girls look like they work at Hooters not a family restaurant. Music and TV are so loud can't even have a conversation. Customer service sucks they forget to bring our drinks and take forever to bring food to the table If you say something waitress start looking at me funny and gossiping to the rest of the staff.
