Gloria's Pupuseria

I randomly stopped at this Salvadorian restaurant with my fiancee and nephew. We live about 1.5hrs away by car and my nephew said he would take any necessary public transportation just to eat there. 💯 Would agree! The owner is a super sweet lady, she talked with us for a while and came to find out they also do catering which is great for us as we were looking for a Salvadorian caterer. The view to this restaurant is blocked by a few buildings but don't despair, there is plenty of parking right at front. They only take cash or Zelle payments.

They let homeless people come in to eat, that doesn't bother me, but they let a homeless person come in who leaves his hands dirty and smells like poop and I don't know if the place is clean because of the homeless. There are better places that don't smell like poop

Amazing food. I always come down from Santa Barbara to feast on this delicious restaurant. The customer service is great and welcoming. Their beverages are tasteful and best of all you get your money's worth. Definitely recommend if you are looking for a place to eat.

Super overcharged prices!!! She charged me taxes for every single item I ordered. She even charged me for the curtido for the pupusas which I thought it was already included. Lady got very rude when I asked her to see my receipt of what she was charging for. Will never go here again to pay 8 dollars for a single pupusa. She wanted to charge me 95 dollars for 5 pupusas and 2 breakfast. Insane!!

Best Place to get pupusas. I order 100 for my daughter's sweet 15 and they were a big hit They hook you up with a good amount of curtido and their bomb salsa. I recommend this place to anyone that wants good pupusas and a great price. I will be ordering again. The lady's that work there have amazing customer service. As soon as you walk in they receive you with a good afternoon what can we help you with. I appreciate that. Thank you lady's

If you go here a lot you really get to know the employees and the lady in the kitchen is very sweet. The food is amazing, I would reccomend Pupusas con pollo y queso, but the pupusa selection is decent. You just can't have one pupusa here.

Great customer service. Authentic Salvadorean food. So Good!!! Definitely coming back!!! Forgot to take pics since we enjoyed it so much :)

Had a waitress and then she disappeared, service is horrible, food is good, but with bad customer service.

If I could they had a zero on would do that one . This place is horrible . The tables had hair . One of the sanitizers that was on the table had a small cockroach inside . The food was raw . I ordered a spinach with queso and that did not taste like spinach who knows what plant that is . We have gone to other Salvadoran restaurants and the food looks s way better . Last time for me .

Best lunch place in town! The food here is always fresh and delicious. The staff is friendly and accommodating. I go for lunch during my work day almost every week. I love the pupusas and the tamales. Some time I will need to try some of the other dishes, I am sure they are all equally amazing!

Went today and all I can say is that the service was so great. I had just came from a 14hr flight and the two workers there were so amazing with me. The food you can tell was made with love. Depending what you get there is a wait but trust me it's worth it because everything is made at the moment. If you are in the area of Hp I recommend.

I called Gloria's Pupuseria to ask if they were open because my friend and I were seeking pupusas and every other place I like was closed. we were determined to get some. Titi or Mimi I forgot her name picked up the call and said she was closed but that she still had people in the restaurant so to make our order so We did. I'm very very picky with pupusas and I have anxiety trying new Pupuseria because of it. Let me tell you!! Her pupusas were AMAZING!! She was also amazing with her customer service! She was providing great service BY HERSELF ! I literally felt like I was in a restaurant in El Salvador.

The food was amazing. Specially the service they are under new ownership and the older lady that works there is so accommodating and nice. The food felt very home made. There is only one cook and she's amazing makes your food with love and patience. Recommend if you are In the hp area.

Es un pequeño negocio que el gobierno no ayudo económicamente, por favor si pueden vengan y apoyen

Not ever going here again. Not satisfied, I asked for a to go they gave me plate wrapped with foil. Only got to go because my son loves pupusas. And I was already there.

La comida buena la atención creo algo normal lo único que pedí 5 Popusas para llevar ni un solo tenedor me dio una sola servillleta y un solo platito para las 5

Worst customer service I've ever experienced avoid this place. My female server had the worst attitude ever when I asked her to pack my papusas separately. I will not be returning here!!

La comida no está mal, lo que está mal es que aparte de estar muy caro, te cobran impuestos de más. Llegue a este lugar, pedí un guisado y una bebida y termine pagando 25 ? Le pregunté a la señora y me dijo que el guisado era 18 mas tax pero no me dijo nada de la bebida, pedí un recibo y aparte de que se tardo contando, note que la cuenta estaba mal, le comenté y me dijo que era 10% de tax. Estamos en CALIFORNIA, y en esta área el tax debe ser 9.5% no 10 pero aún así su cuenta de ella salió mas alta de lo que debería aver sido, AQUÍ ESTÁN ROBANDO AL IRS Y AL CLIENTE. Espero y aya guardado la copia del recibo que me dio porque pienso reportar este lugar.

This place is a cute, and a family owned restaurant. This establishment is usually my go to for ordering pupusas. Fresh and delicious, when Ordering a large order the time is a bit longer than quoted so I suggest giving them 45- to an hour, but other than that everyone should give this place a try.

I love eating here love how it's a family owned restaurant the food is super delicious great cook n great service employees are very nice rlly recommend!!

Hell to the YES! It's hard finding GREAT pupusas, especially when your aunts and cousins from the motherland come over and influence your taste buds with the wonderfulness that is the PUPUSA. The pupusa is a traditional Salvadoran dish. It can be best described as a thick, handmade tortilla with your choice of filling. More traditional fillings include, cheese, fried pork, beans, or "revueltas" (mixed) that include cheese, pork and beans. Usually they are topped with a vinegary shredded cabbage and carrot salad called "curtido" and a tomato/vinegar based salsa (not spicy). Everyone thinks that just because you are Salvadoran you can make pupusas, but that is not the case. My mother (who is Salvadoran) can't make traditional pupusas to save her life. She makes variations of mush that is still quite edible though. But my aunt, her sister, Holy shit, she gets down! They say you have to have "special hands" to be able to make them correctly. Damn, I think I got "special hands" in another department. Oh well. No complaints heard there. But anyway, back to pupusas and hands..... The folks over at Gloria's Pupuseria have the best pupusa making hands EVER! Next to my aunt's of course. Some places make them with way too much masa (dough) where you can't even taste the filling. The pupusas here are HUGE and they are not stingy with the filling. I ordered two revueltas and one pure chicharron (fried pork). I scarfed down one revuelta and the half of the chicharron one. My friends and I were pleasantly surprised. They were cheap too. $2.45 each. We also ordered a plate of chicharrones. These are not to be confused with the traditional Mexican chicharrones which are mostly fried pieces of skin. Salvadoran chicharrones are fried pieces of pork meat, with all kinds of crispiness going on. I had about 2.5 pieces, with lemon and salsa. UUuuhhhh, OOOhh!!! Yeah. They were delicious. The kind of delicious, where you close your eyes and moan a little bit. I had to stop myself after the 2.5 pieces that I had (yes 2.5 and NOT 25) . I didn't want to have a heart attack or not fit into those shorts that I have managed to fit back into after a few years. *sigh* 5 F*ckin' stars for this place. I don't even care the dude at the register had an attitude. Trust me, I know Salvadoran Mammas. I sympathize with his attitude and the "kill me now" look he had on his face. *sigh* MMMM mmm mmmm... sorry, getting flashbacks of the pupusas and chicharrones. Gloria's embraces the Mexican sentiment of Huntington Park and make a tribute to it by having a bottle of Tapatio at each table. Can we say "peace offering?" For the mixed breed that I am (Mexican-Salvadoran), I sure hope so. ****National Pupusa Day is observed on November 13. Thanks Wikipedia, but I'll be having them way more often than that.**** *Check out the pictures I snapped before devouring them.

El servicio de este restaurante no nos gusto para nada se tardaron over 25 minutos para traer la comida y la comida tenía un sabor aceite ransio yo nunca dejo comida y esta ves deje la mitad. No esta buena. Y aparte bien caro.

Nasty Pupusas & over priced. It took 20 minutes for them to have 3 Pupusas ready, with little customers. Also opened up the foil in which the Pupusas were in to find a long strand of hair. Feeling kind of nauseous after eating there. No stars in my opinion.

I love this place. They make delicious pupusas. I've tried my share of places and this is the one I keep coming back to. I always buy them to go and they're still super hot by the time I get home almost an hour later. I've only been here during the week and they never seem to have many customers. I find this strange since their pupusas are so good. I hope they never go out of business.

I think this place is delicious. I've been here twice and I always leave with a stomachache because I just can't stop my right arm/hand as it rotates from the table to my mouth. The one thing that's bothered me from the get-go is how the cabbage slaw is in these ghetto plastic containers. It just doesn't scream great hygiene to me. Ahh and the lack of spicy salsa is disappointing but El Salvadorians aren't known for spicy salsa. I've had the revuelta pupusas (since those are my favorite), banana empanadas (frita de platanos??) and yuca con frita (Some sort of root). I forget what it's called but it was delicious.

Randomly went off an adventure with my sister who found this place and the food was excellent, granted all I had was just the pupusa (first time no less). Nephew had the pepperoni and cheese and seemed to really enjoy it. I tried the Revueltas (Pork and Cheese), Jamon Con Queso (Ham and Cheese) and Espinacha con Queso (Spinach and Cheese). Initially when I had it by itself I thought it was good but nothing to write home about until my sister told me to mix in the cabbage and some sort of sauce, then everything was AWESOME! I don't know what was in it but I loved it! Curious about other things on the menu but so far no complaints. Food was excellent, service was good and food came out quick! I'll be back to try other things!

It took over 30 minutes to have our food ordered and when they did bring the food, they failed to bring everything that we ordered. We had to wait an additional 10 minutes. When we asked why they took so long, the waitress said that they had too many customers and only one cook. I guess 40% of the tables being occupied is too busy for them. She could've at least apologized. I won't be returning.

Thumbs down. I took my mom and uncle for lunch here. We ordered from the menu and waited 30 minutes for our food. There was only one other customer in the place. The chicken soup was not good. The chicken was old and looked like it was cooked then added to the soup. My uncle had beef soup and my mom had an enchilada, bean and rice. I had a can of sprite. My mom and uncle had flavored water. A whopping 42.50$. Too much money for crappy food. This is a very honest review.

Came here with my mother in law and her friend. I was not to impressed the food is very bland and dry. You had to add a lot of salt to everything. I was not very happy. The pupusas where dry as well my mother in law was very very unhappy she is Salvadoran she said how to do mess up pupusas.

By Far The Worse Service & Food. They Want To Charge Top Dollar For The Food Yet They Can't Deliver. We Have Gone There A Few Times & Everytime We Go It Gets Worse. They Tend To Change Your Order To What They Currently Are Stocked Up With, But They Don't Tell You They Don't Have What You Order. Why Not Be Upfront With Us! The Restaurant Itself Is Dirty! The Ladies That Take Your Order, Don't Have Customer Service. They Are Beyond Rude & They Will Literally Argue With You Even Though They Know They Are At Fault. I Wouldn't Recommend This Place To Anyone. I'm Surprised This Place Is Still In Business. Definitely NOT Going Back To This Filthy Place.

Great pupusas. I been here twice and it's been delicious both times. It's just down the street from my house, so i plan to come here more often for my pupusa fix.

Best pupusas anywhere! My husband found Gloria's a few years back when he worked in Commerce and they were located in Bell Gardens. We loved it there! Even took my best friend once and she loved them too! We would go any chance we had since at the time we lived in South L.A. But one day we come to the surprise that they closed and were very disappointed. We tried many places but none compared. One day we were driving by Florence and I saw the sign for Gloria's and we just had to stop! We walk in and definitely was the original! Even the décor was the same! We asked the lady at the register about it and she confirmed that it was them from Bell Gardens. We were so happy to have found then again. We have tried other places even now and still no comparison. We moved farther though so we can't come as often as we like but when we are in the area we definitely stop by. As long as they are open we will definitely keep coming!

First time I tried this type of food (from Guatemala or Honduras, I think)and it was a horrible experience. This thing is just a thick tortilla with cheese inside and some kind of awful herb. Nothing special or nothing good to experience. Stay away from this weird type of food and just eat the other good foods like mexican, chinese, etc

I think the reviwers who came in unsure of what they were trying need to be disregarded. If you're already a fan of pupusas, you will love this place. Pupusas from less authentic restaurants tend to be smaller and greasier. These do not look or taste overly fried, the filling portions are generous, and the curtido and salsa compliment the pupusas perfectly. If you're a pupusa lover and ever in the area, make sure to stop by. They're like 2 bucks a pop anyway.

Went and had my first pupusa. It was amazing! I really enjoyed the flavor of the meat and cheese, and the texture of the pupusa. The red sauce was devine, not too watery, and not to thick....it had the perfect balance of flavor, without dominating the pupusa. I also had a fried tamale with beans and cheese that was really good. I would definitely go back!

Great pupusas. They may seem a little pricey but the pupusas are a good size. Call in order, and they'll be ready before you get there. Parking is horrible during the weekend since it's downtown Huntington Park-that's the only downside. They have great atol de elote. Highly recommended!

Definitely will not come back here again! My family would come here and have pupusas once in a while. We came back to the restaurant a couple days ago and realize that the Pupusas have change so much from the once they sold before. We order the $4.99 special which includes two pupusas with beans, rice and a free soda. First, of all the pupusas we had look really sloppy and not fresh. The cheese inside the pupusas tasted sour and the cabbage was really soggy. . Not only was the food bad but also their restaurant. The restaurant itself needs some fixing. The booth we sat at was so old and rusty with holes on it. Their restroom smelled so bad, I don't know how often they clean it. Plus on top of that they had awful customer service. There was a lady sitting in the corner I think she's the manager I'm not sure starring at us the whole time we were sitting there. We did not feel comfortable and welcome here. Their are many other salvadorian restaurants in huntington park that have better, cheaper with friendly customer service. Please do yourself a favor and don't bother coming here.

This place is really good, love that they make their pupusas fresh everytime you order, & they're not stingy with the salsa or curtido. Stopped by today & they had a special buy 4 get 1 free. The place is small but it's a lot tastier than Los pochos pupusas around the corner!

i went to this place for some good home cooked salvadoranian food but instead i got treated bad, they were rude and impatient and they charged me for a freaken jalapeno never going there again!!!!!!!!!!
