Restaurante El Rio Esteban Chavero Reviews
1st time trying this spot. I usually get pupusas up the street. Wanted to try a new spot. Ordered 1 pupusa to try and I was not disappointed. I'm mexican yet like Salvi pupusas. So I ended up enjoying it. I ordered 5 to-go. Besides the typical non spicy sauce they have a homemade HOT sauce which usual spots don't provide. Salvis don't eat spicy foods. I'm glad they cater to a Mexican paladar, hence the spicy sauce. It takes time to prepare fresh hot food, so don't complain about "it taking forever to get the food" recommend it. I didn't take pics before, I only have an after pic. If I wouldn't have enjoyed, I would have not ate it.
Love this place. Food is always Fresh, very flavorful. My kids love the popusas. Good portion, good prices.
Todo muy rico comida 100% catracha y casera ricas pupusas excelente servicio
Muy buen sazón de la comida,anteriormente eran otros los duen̈os,es un negocio familiar, la verdad la comida está de primera,le doy 5 de 5,les recomiendo la carne azada.
Desde que cambiaron de dueño mejoro inmensamente su sazon, vine con mi familia y probamos un pollo con Tajadas, una sopa de Mondongo y una carne asada, deben probar su comida!

Muy buenas popusas.
Vanessa Ponce and Iris Marleni excellent food specially the molcajete yum, yum 😋
So happy this place opened near our home. It's been a while since a good restaurant has been here. The food is all freshly cooked to order. The prices are reasonable and it all taste great. I really love the burritos and the tacos. My husband enjoys the sopes. It's clean and the staff is super friendly.
It’s a small gem, there’s only one person working there so it takes 15-20 mins to come out but the pupusas were good. I got the 2 pupusas con plátanos fritos. They were delicious
I absolutely love this place. Very friendly staff and the food is great. I recommend the Camarones a la Diabla and the cocktail.
I love the pupusa are good here I recommend it.
The food was delicious every one was kind

Food is not cooked well, personally I look for authentic flavors. And to me no cheese in either one. The beans inside taste very oily and no flavor. They start from 3.25$ every day except Thursday special is 2.25$. But smaller per cook.
First time here and not returning I suggest the same they really do some shady stuff here to the food. What I order and what I got.

Wooow I went the other day and they did copy the recipe of beans and other food from Armandos restaurant in South El monte. It's sad how they can't come up with there own recipes. If you guy's want REAL MEXICAN FOOD GO TO ARMANDOS RESTAURANT AT 9611 Garvey ave suite126 South El monte,Ca 91733
The food was not good, only 1 person working there. It takes a long time to get your food. I don't recommend this place. Needs a lot of improvements.
The personal had no idea what they were doing No manager or owner available couldn't even work the register
