About Us
Who Are We?
At Las Guanaquitas, we’re more than just a restaurant; we’re a woman and family owned business built on love, tradition, and the rich flavors of Salvadoran cuisine. Since opening our doors, our mission has been simple: to create a space where people can feel at home with every bite.
Our Story
Las Guanaquitas was born in 2009 from a simple dream: to share the rich, vibrant flavors of El Salvador with the community of Los Angeles. Founded by a Salvadoran family with deep roots in traditional cooking, our restaurant is a tribute to the recipes passed down through generations — the kind that bring people together and make you feel at home. From the moment we opened our doors, our mission has been to serve more than just food. We serve memories. Every pupusa is handmade with love, every dish seasoned with tradition, and every customer welcomed like family. Over the years, Las Guanaquitas has grown into more than just a restaurant — it's a gathering place for those craving a taste of home and a cultural experience for those discovering Salvadoran cuisine for the first time. We’re proud to represent our heritage and grateful to be part of such a diverse and supportive community.
