El Chinaco - Costa Mesa

WORST Experience EVER. I'm very embarrassed how they treated me and my friends. They never had Pupusa, so I recommended them to try. These girls who worked, laugh at us. You blew the music from a speaker. It was like a club where we screamed to hear each other, wondered again and again what the other said. We had a headache. Yo le pregunté a la muchacha si pudiera bajar la musica Porque no podía escuchar a los demas hablar. Me dijo que sí pero se rieron y le subieron más. Although I asked them to turn off the music a little, they laughed out even more. When we left my friend, the girl in Pink said we couldn't talk about the music. She said it's our restaurant. So you need to understand? Then blow out laughs together with the other girls. Disappointed. First Pupusa experience ruined.

Not good. Carne Asada plate was just taco meat with old rice. Nachos were tortilla chips with Nacho cheese and Jalapenos. We ordered pastlitos and they were pampered. Garlic shrimps had no garlic. Honestly, we felt rough eating here. Never again.

The pork papusa and the beans and cheese papusa ordered, both came out that they were made fresh. The chefs singing over the grill cooked as food, atmosphere was welcoming, friendly, family. The food was absolutely delicious and worth waiting. Will definitely be back.

This is the worst place I have ever eaten pupusas. The horchata was really bad, and although the service was okay, I will definitely not be returning to this place. I want my money back.

This restaurant has gone downhill. I noticed that the pupusas tasted strange. When I inquired, they were proud to admit that they had added tomato sauce to the chicharrones. Shake my head. If it's not broken, don't try to fix it.
