San Sivar Restaurant

Really good food, and very friendly service! The pupusas were amazing. Nice that we were served both hot and mild sauce for them. The fried plantains were excellent. We also tried one of our tamales fried and wow, that was delicious!

Came here unfamiliar with Salvadorian food, but we have had Pupusas before, so I thought we would give them a try. They were simply amazing! However, what I really loved was the tamales. If you've ever had a Grandma (or a friend's Grandma) that made tamales from scratch and you thought they were crazy delicious, but have been continuously disappointed anytime you've tried them in a restaurant, you have to try the tamales here. Wow, they are just like the proper moist homemade ones made by Grandma!

We also tried the "fruit punch" served in a jar 1/3 filled with fresh fruit and our jaws dropped at how good it was. (see my photos)

After chatting with the host during our meal, we found out that this restaurant has the same owner as the San Sivar that's been in business for ~20 years over in Costa Mesa. They clearly know what they're doing and we'll be back next time we are in HB!

The pupusas are incredible and HUGE! 10/10

Real authentic Salvadorian food.
Pupusas here are the real deal! Pupusas quesos con loroco are soo bomb! I take all my friends here.
I absolutely love this place! Been going to this place at the one in Costa Mesa for years now. Now, I’m so happy their in HB! And at a bigger location.

I’m so excited to have good pupusas in HB! The staff is so friendly and welcoming. Our server had good advice on the menu, and she was very attentive. The food is very authentic, and made fresh to order. I look forward to coming back soon!
