I've picked up food from The Latin Food Shop a few times, and everything I've tried has been absolutely delicious! From the pupusas and platano plate to the empanadas, guava cheese pastelito, and mangonada—everything is fantastic. The owner and chef is incredibly friendly and truly talented at what she does. It's conveniently located right off the 10 freeway, making it really easy to grab takeout during these times. I also love how close it is to my home! I highly recommend The Latin Food Shop and can't wait to visit more often!

You might miss it at first while driving by, but we spotted a small sign that said "pupusas." After a long day of quarantine driving, we were hungry, so we decided to stop. We're so glad we did! The pupusas, platanos, and rice and beans were incredibly authentic and delicious—definitely the best we've ever had. It left us craving more, so we returned less than a week later! On our second visit, we enjoyed fresh, warm guava and cheese pastries as well. We live in the Inland Empire, and we’re more than happy to support this wonderful business whenever we can make the trip. You can really feel the pride and love that goes into the food. It’s absolutely worth it! Make sure to check it out and show your support; you won't be disappointed!

This is our go-to place when we crave pupusas platinos with all the toppings! Our favorites are the chicharrón and cheese pupusas, as well as the cheese-only ones. They taste just like homemade, and they really hit the spot.
