Mis Raices Salvadorean Restaurant

"Mercedes Rodriguez and her team have been delighting the residents of Reseda and beyond since 2008 with their deliciously authentic Salvi breakfast scrambles of eggs with loroco. The dish is served with sides of pureed black beans, rice, and thick hand-made corn tortillas." - Eric Valle

"You could come to this Reseda spot several times and not even make it to the pupusa section. That would be a mistake in our books. Mis Raíces’ pupusas are crispy and golden, with scalding hot interiors that require several minutes to cool off before eating. What stands out most though is the sheer variety here. There are 26 different kinds of pupusas on the menu, including shrimp, zucchini and cheese, and squash and spinach. If you’re looking to expand on your usual pupusa routine, head to Mis Raíces. " - Sylvio Martins, Brant Cox, Nikko Duren

"At this Lake Balboa gem, Mercedes Rodriguez offers rare Saldavoran dishes like pito con huevo, a red, meaty pito flower cooked with eggs and alguaishte, a pumpkin seed based dish that’s akin to a Mexican mole. The crisp, fried rellenos, or egg-battered vegetables stuffed with chayote or bamboo shoots are accompanied by a delicious tomato sauce are as good as any market stall in El Salvador." - Bill Esparza
