We were in the way to the beach and realized I needed to charge my Tesla. Baldwin Park was on the way so decided to stop by and charge here. We were hungry so decided to try out El Espino while the car was charging while walking in, I expected there to be a posted menu. There was not haha. There is plenty of seating, which is nice if you don't want to sit in your car waiting for your Tesla to charge. The nice lady gave us a menu and we ended up being basic haha. Ordered Pupusas de Queso, Pupusas de Queso y Frijol and Platanos Fritos Solos. Everything we ordered was freshly made. It was very good! So good that I didn't even have the chance to take a picture of it haha. When in the area, or when you're here charging your Tesla, go in and support this local restaurant!

Still an incredibly solid restaurant. Mid city/ west of downtown Los Angeles is known to have many Central American immigrants and lots of delicious food. So it's so great to find an authentic Salvadoran restaurant. The food is always savory and consistent. They have their group of regulars that has kept them in business, but if you're ever looking for a true "hidden gem" you have to come to El Espino. They have pupusas and traditional plates. They have aguas frescas and a few beer options. Prices are reasonable so don't expect an Instagram worthy-restaurant, but a restaurant well loved and taken care of. 10/10. I will continue being a customer as long as they are open.

Food is great! Super tasty my kids love the pupusas. My fave is the carne asada plate! Service is good only thing it takes a long time to received your order. So if your starving lol maybe no the place to go unless ur willing to wait a good while.

Very delicious food , always hot and ready even for takeout . Found this gem , while looking a pupusiera close to home

Best pupusas ever!!!! I come here once or twice a month. Sometimes I order to take home and some times I eat here and it's always a pleasure

Was driving by and decided to come in since I was hungry. It is a very large restaurant. The cashier didn't speak much English but we were still able to communicate. They don't have a menu posted but you can ask for one. I asked for the house special and with pork and cheese. The AC is pretty weak in the establishment so I took my food to go. On a Saturday at 1245, there was only one table occupied. There's plenty of parking since there's a big lot. The pupusas were very hot and fresh! The curtido is perfectly sour for me but too sour for my boyfriend. The jicama is $6 for a large and a little light in flavor for me but still refreshing.
