Jaltepeque 3

Came here for the 99cents pupusas on Thursday. They said their cook had hurt their hand and could no longer make us out pupusas so I come back Monday for the same deal and just got another poor excuse as to why they could not sell me the 99 cents pupusas they advertise for Monday and Thursday. They said they stopped serving those at 8 pm no where does it say that the deal is only valid until 8 pm. Will never come back again the service is terrible and clearly they were too lazy to make me my pupusas.

I love this pace I work across the street at Att and I eat here all the time the pupusas are bomb the panes con pollo are the bomb as well I love this place

I’ve been in so many salvadorean restaurants looking for good pupusas, sinse that was my food when I lived there, and So far these pupusas are the bessttttt… i tried revueltas ans queso and a Hot chocolate and they were extremely YUMMY. going back tomorrow for more :)

Went to Jaltepeque 3 after searching Unilocal for Pupusas in NoHo. I admit, it wasn’t my first pick but after reading about $ 1 pupusa on Mondays & Wednesday I was sold. I tried the bean and cheese pupusa and sweet corn tamales for a grand total of $ 4.25 — both were extremely average. The waitress spoke broken English (my broken Spanish didn’t help) so when I said I wanted one order of sweet corn tamales (two come in an order) I only received one tamale. I was not charged extra so I didn’t mind.
The décor is also quite depressing here and the only other patron there at the time was an old man playing bad music on the jukebox so I got my order to go. They also use the bathroom as a storage closet for their mop bucket and unused wall art which turned me off. It’s not the best part of town, but for the price it’s worth a try.

Great salvadorian food. Hard working people. Great prices specially the $ 1 pupusas On Mondays and Wednesday!

Delicious authentic salvadorian food and fruit beverages. Best in the valley… Great service and good prices!

Came here for pupusas. But they are horrible. Cheese smells like it when bad. I don’t ever put reviews but I just had to the place smells and there service completely just horrible

I hardly find too many Salvadorian restaurants, or maybe I just miss them all, but I love their food. I have only been there twice and the main thing I enjoy are their Pupusas. Too bad this place is so far from where I live. They have karaōke, so be prepared if you go and they are singing. This place can get overly loud, something that I don’t like, however it worth trying their food. Can’t wait to go again when I’m in the area.

Tried their pupusa and they’re ok I tasted better around the area in NoHo. Would I recommend this place to my fellow Unilocalers? Nah I’m not mean… lol Would I come back and give them another chance? Nah I rather eat my girls cooking ahaha.

I was recommended by a friend to try this place out. North Hollywood is home to many pupuserias, but this one is the best! The restaurant is big and some nights they have karaōke or have live person singing. They have TV’s inside that show sports or other shows. The food is delicious, not greasy like some Salvadorian restaurants. I ordered some pupusas of coarse, Empanadas, Caldo de Pescado… the pupusas were not greasy, tasted fresh, and were decent sizes. Highly recommended to any one who wants great quality food

I been here 3 times already… and I haven’t yet written a review! Boo on me. But anyways… I love their pupusas. I get them with cheese… so magnificent. The Horchata is the ORIGINAL thing. Not that watered down stuff you find in stores. SO yes, if your looking for pupusas, come here. They have many other pupusas… so it’s all good.
Also, They only accept cash

A solid three stars for their pupusas. Considering how much I love pupusas, I was feeling bad that I had never eaten on in the LA area where pupuserias are everywhere. Instead of doing extensive research first, I ate at the first place I came across — okay, the second place, since somebody’s 98-​cent pupusa sign just felt too low a price for me – I was not that impressed with my loroco pupusas or the salsa or the curtido, but it was «pretty good» as Zagat might say. If they reviewed pupusas.

Pupusas on the brain! Pupusas on the brain! I heard from a friend that this place had some good pupusas. Being that it was only a short drive up the road, I decided to check it out.
The shopping center was kinda seedy, especially at night. It was next to one of those liquor stores that has the windows behind steel bars. The parking was a little tricky but I managed to back up into a spot next to the restaurant. The inside was kinda cheesy like most hole in the wall Mexican places. They had a bar with some generic snacky snacks (I guess people hang out here on the weekends and watch soccer and drink cold «chelas».) Anyhow, the cute waitress escorted me to a table and kindly took my drink order. I was feeling like a horchata, because I heard something about Salvadorean horchata being slightly different from its Mexican counterpart. She said something that I could not understand so I just said yes to a large tamarindo. The tamarindo water came out in a large steel cup; the kind that milkshakes usually come in. Maybe this was because it was very thick, in fact, one of the thickest tamarindos I had ever drunk. So good. If you don’t know what this is like, it is kinda like a cross between the consistency of a pear and the acidity of a mango with a lightly more earthy flavor.
The tamarindo was accompanied by complimentary chips and hot sauce. Hence the addition of Mexican in the description of the restaurant. The fresh salsa was very spicy probably due to the addition of black pepper. I thought was kinda strange, but it made for an addicting snack.
Nothing on the menu looked appealing. So I decided to go with my original fancy. I ordered a pupusa trio; one revuelta, one cheese, and one loroco and cheese. The pupusas came out after about 10 minutes of waiting and were smaller than I had anticipated. I guess i got spoiled by the giant ones they have at Vallarta. They were however less greasy. The curtido or Latin American «cole slaw» was kinda funky looking. I had a small bit and passed on it. The salsa was typical of the kind you get with this dish.
All in all, nothing to write home about. I don’t think I shall return unless you or someone else is buying. Even then, I might recommend something else.
