EL SALVADOR 🇸🇻 Eat the World LA review: Besides being home to one of the last two remaining Pioneer Chicken restaurants, nowadays Bell Gardens is home to 95.7% of people who identified on the 2010 census as "Hispanic or Latino of any race." As such, there is a high concentration of Central Americans and especially Salvadorans, with pupusas not hard to find anywhere on this side of the Los Angeles River. Across the street from that Pioneer Chicken is a pupuseria at the back of a small strip mall named Bell Gardens Plaza. Comalapa is named for the municipality about 40km southeast of the capital San Salvador that used to also be the name of its international airport, a hub which features prominently on the menu here. The dining room is full of everything guanaco you could imagine, starting with a large flag and plenty of blue paint. Frames, prayers, and touristy objects all hang from the walls slightly askew. After you put in an order for pupusas, you will hear the distinctive "pat, pat, pat" of the discs being made fresh in the kitchen before getting put on the grill. This is a comforting sound somehow, full of love. If you are not Salvadoran, maybe it taps into a previous life when you were, the sounds of the kitchen as heard by a child.

The pupusas are freshly made, overall good flavor. Service is ok. The ambiance is good. Con: they need AC Pro: good food, decent price.

True and authentic Salvadoran Food experience. I even feel as if U am in Olocuilta the town in El Salvador that is famous for its pupusas. I have been here before and Im back again!

Food is good, nice service👍🏼 but my God the noise OMG, you can’t have a conversation with the people you’re eating with because they have speaker all around and they play the music VERY VERY laudly!!! Please we were not in a night club. Oh and the tv was on with the news playing laudly too omg!! Bájenle a la música . tele o música NO las dos cosas a la misma ves !

Server was nice, food was pretty quick and good. Music a little loud, but ok.

Love the papusas from this restaurant. They have lots of different combination of plates serving breakfast, soups, fish, dessert and drinks. Ordered two papusas and a side of beans and it was so good. A great spot if you enjoy having papusas.

This place is good and sometimes is not,depending on the cooked. Service is okay

Love the pupusas I gave it 4 stars because of the waiting time and not so good customers service
