" Cabañas is where the real Salvadoran cuisine is at! I tried the pupusas and they are as authentic as it gets. The cheese oozing out, paired with the sweet curtido, was perfection. But I must say that the service left something to be desired; I waited longer than expected for my food and felt a bit neglected. A warm invite keeps me coming back, though the dining space could be more cleaned up. Still, will keep it on my list for the food alone. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Restaurante Cabañas for breakfast and was blown away by their traditional Salvadoran breakfast! The plantains were perfectly fried and paired exceptionally well with beans and cheese. My only complaint was that the coffee seemed a bit off – it had an unexpected cinnamon flavor that didn't sit well with me. Overall, though, I found the food to be authentic and filling, and the service was friendly enough. I would definitely suggest this spot to anyone wanting to try Salvadoran dishes for breakfast! " (*Curated Review*)

" The moment I walked into Restaurante Cabañas, I was greeted by the delicious smell of Salvadoran cuisine. The pupusas were outstanding, definitely authentic, and the tamales had a great homemade taste. However, the service was a bit on the slower side and the place felt quite warm. Despite that, I enjoyed the food immensely. I recommend trying the yuca frita too – it was a delightful surprise! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had the chance to dine here and was pleasantly surprised! The pupusas were some of the best I’ve had in LA, and you could tell the food was made with care. I also loved the fact that it wasn’t overly expensive! While it’s a small eatery, the environment felt personal and cozy. I did have to wait longer for my order, so they might need a bit of help during peak hours. " (*Curated Review*)

" Restaurante Cabañas is a hidden gem! I stumbled upon this place after reading a few reviews, and what a pleasant surprise it was! The food is incredibly authentic, and the flavors took me back to my last visit to El Salvador. I had the carne asada plate and my friend tried the seafood soup – both were delicious. Their prices are very reasonable for the quality. Although the restaurant’s cash-only policy can be inconvenient, it’s worth it for the fantastic food! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for authentic Salvadoran cuisine, Restaurante Cabañas is worth a visit. I particularly loved the variety available. The fish tacos were fresh, although I wish they had a bit more seasoning. And yes, the pupusas did take a while to arrive, but they were gourmet quality. I also enjoyed chatting with the staff who were incredibly friendly. Prepare for a cash-only environment and no doubt a bit of a wait for those delicious pupusas! " (*Curated Review*)

" Restaurante Cabañas has a homey feel to it. The pupusas were delicious and tasted so authentic, but I was disappointed by the slow service. It felt like they could be a little better organized. The food should really shine here; however, they need to work on the pacing of the kitchen. The cash-only business model was a surprise but not a major issue. Overall, I will return for that amazing flavor! " (*Curated Review*)
