Description

This Salvadoran place is bustling with Spanish-speaking clients at any given hour of the day. Their perfect little pupusas (cornmeal cakes stuffed with cheese, refried beans, meat, or loroco, Salvadorian flower petals) are served with curtido, a spicy slaw, and a dollop of unspicy tomato sauce. Make a meal and order the fried plantains (try not to think how they resemble sunburned banana slugs) or the thick, tasty fried yuca. You'll be fending "friends" away with a fork.
