Pupuseria Salvadorena 1

The pupusas here are really delicious. They're a little on the oily side, but the flavors are really good. We ended up trying the cheese, chicken, and pork with cheese and beans. We visited a couple of times, and at first, my favorite was the cheese, but on the second visit, it ended up being the chicken. The price isn't bad at all, and we ended up enjoying our meal.

Food here is a 5/5. I didn’t realize pupusas could be this delicious with just a handful of simple ingredients. These are small tortilla-like breads stuffed with pork and cheese. The simplicity of the ingredients paired with the excellent green hot sauce and vinegar cold shredded cabbage makes for an excellent experience. I had both their pupusa revuelta as well as the pupusa y chicharron. While both were good, I preferred the chicharron one more since it had crispier pieces of pork and had more fat content. I tried a little bit of their pupusa with loroco. It had a distinctly different smell and flavor, and it wasn’t something I would get again since it wasn’t as good as the others. If you are really hungry, go with 3 pupusas. If you aren’t ravenous, 2 will be a decent amount. They serve a small ramekin of a coleslaw that has some vinegar and sugar. I found that having this with the pupusa and green hot sauce was perfect. You would get the heat from the sauce, the chewy and savory flavors from the pupusas, and then the sweet, tart, and crunch from the veggies. The ONLY reason I even take away one star is from the cleanliness of the establishment. When looking under tables, this place left a lot to be desired in terms of cleanliness. The biggest issue was that I saw the biggest cockroach that I’ve ever seen, just walking through the restaurant like it owned the place. Thankful I only noticed this AFTER my meal. This was easily a 3-inch cockroach. Overall, I would come here again, maybe to take-out next time just to avoid running into any bugs. The food is exceptional though.

I was craving papusas so I went here for some. The papusas were pretty good. I wished they served it with some salsa or something though. Their burrito was really good and it was rolled and cut to perfection. Any who, I do appreciate their patience in trying to communicate with us even though there was a pretty bad language barrier between us. I think I would've given this place a 5 if the server didn't try avoiding our table even though we couldn't understand each other.
