Reviews
The pupusas were good, but a little too greasy for my taste. The cabbage was excellent, but the salsa just tasted like a tomato (no spice or other flavor at all).
People drive really fast through the parking lot, and parking itself is a little tricky. The road noise and generator made it not such a pleasant experience while waiting.
Very nice, English-speaking operators that serve good, freshly-made pupusas at $3 a piece (incl. Tax). The pupusas come with curtido, a slightly pickled cabbage, and a choice of hot or tomato salsa.
The pupusas were smooth, golden without burnt spots, hadn’t leaked during frying, and were absolutely delicious. (My companions insist that the pork and beans filled pupusas are the best but I stick to the vegetarian options).
The curtido was a bit of a surprise as it consisted of white cabbage, no red cabbage, no carrots (if any, only very few), and pre pickled jalapenos. The cabbage was still very crunchy, and the brine was yellow. All in all good but not my favorite curtido recipe. The hot sauce was actually hot, not scorching, but a refreshing and tasty flavor enhancement.
I highly recommend ordering ahead (15-20 minutes) and taking the order somewhere more pleasant to enjoy your meal.
This is a “pupusaria truck” adjacent to a Sunoco gas station. There is no shade and no place to sit, other than the curb. Parking is very limited. The smells of the gas station and Hwy 31 are not making for a great location and the loud generator as well as traffic can take away from the enjoyment of the pupusas.
The curtido was good but can be better if he replace the traditional chile with “Cola de Gallo “instead of the jalapeño.
Very reasonable priced as well. They even give you this delicious slaw/salad on the side that goes so well with the pupusas! Highly recommend the green sauce if you like mild spice too
So great!!
