Don Lencho provides an immersive culinary journey to El Salvador with its authentic flavors and homemade dishes. The welcoming atmosphere and friendly service create a memorable dining experience. It comes highly recommended for those in search of genuine Salvadorian cuisine.

EL SALVADOR (via Eat the World Los Angeles) – If you have ever spent any time in El Salvador and Central America, away from the resorts, using public transportation and going to restaurants that local families patronize, walking into the back patio of Don Lencho will immediately bring back memories. While the (now unused) walk-up window in front speaks of California, there is no greater portal to the Pacific Coast of El Salvador than the dining area of this grilled fish specialist in South Los Angeles, just a block away from Harvard Park.

I was waiting for about 10 minutes I was looking that the person who hand me the Manu was seating having his dinner. I got frustrated and just walk away from that place. Really bad customer service. No one will come to you at that place. Not recommend if you starving for food.

Pretty expensive for a beat up place. They need a desperate renovation than they can put them prices.

I was invited to eat at this place. They offer a good variety of Salvadoran delicacies, including pupusas, plátanos fritos, chicken soup and they’re well known for their fried fish dish. The service is okay and prompt. However, hygiene is definitely not their forte. It feels like walking into a South of the border joint with plastic tables, beat up furniture and houseflies galore. Yikes, please bring your fly swatter unless you don’t mind musca domesticas all over your food! It’s befuddling how the Department of Public Health allows a food establishment to operate in these conditions. I believe some regular deep cleaning, and a few fans would make a difference in this place. I wouldn’t recommend it as is.
