“ I'm not Salvadoran, so I'm basing this on my own experience, but I feel this pupuseria is one of the best places I've eaten. It's similar to Mexican cuisine, but it has its own unique dishes. My family and I have eaten here for a while; we support these people, from the back of the house to the front cashiers. The food and service are really good. ”
“ La Bamba Sabor Latino Pupuseria is a true hidden gem! The food here is absolutely delicious — packed with authentic flavors that instantly take you straight to El Salvador. The pupusas are perfectly made: crispy on the outside, soft and cheesy on the inside, and filled with generous portions of savory goodness. Every bite tastes homemade, and you can tell the ingredients are fresh and made with love. The curtido and salsa complement the pupusas perfectly — tangy, spicy, and refreshing. The staff is friendly, the service is quick, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. If you're craving real Latin flavor, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommend! ”
“ How delicious the food, but the woman who served me apparently had a bad day because she was in a bad temper, you could easily tell and she didn't even get to ask the tables, she seems to be very distant, everything is very good in the restaurant, it just needs to be friendlier. ”
“ Very good! Prices are decent! About 2-3 for regular sized Pupusas & only 11.99 for the pupusa pizza on the picture that can easily feed 2-3 people depending. People have complained about the service in the reviews, but they were fine & it didn't take that long for our food to arrive. Like any eating place right now post Covid, it's a bit under staffed, but wait time was ok. Definitely coming back & give that pupusa pizza a shot! ”
“ What an amazing place to eat. Super friendly staff. Probably the freshest and best-tasting Latino food in Moreno Valley. If you are tired of poor low quality and tasting food, treat yourself to that place. Salvadoran food at its best. It doesn't matter what you order, it all tastes divine and fresh. I highly recommend coming here. Prices are also fair. The place looks clean and refreshing. ”
“ Best pupusas I’ve ever had. They are not greasy at all. Quality service they do have long wait times but it is worth it if you are dining in. I’m pregnant and have been so nauseas not able to eat and I was able to enjoy the pupusas were so delicious! One of the reasons why I actually enjoy living in the area is because of this little spot. ”
“ The Pupusas’s were really good! I got this pumpkin flower / cheese Pupusa and it was delicious!!! Really fresh food. Also I got the atole de elote as a drink , very creamy... the only thing is that the tamales are Salvador style... I was expecting my Mexican tamales. But , it was good as well. ”
“ Best pupusas around. It does take some time to get your order so I recommend calling ahead but they are freshly made and hot!! Plus some delicious Horchata! ”
