I’ve had pupusa in New York City and Seattle and Central America and the very best ones are right here in the middle of the boonies of Danville, Arkansas. I highly recommend the fried plantains and the corn tamales (tamal de lote) as well.

Loved the mixed pupusa special, tacos, tamales, beans, salsas and horchata. The waitress was very patient with all of my husband’s questions. Reasonably priced and locally owned. Thank you for a pleasant lunch!

Similar to Mexican but not quite the same. They have very good papusas’. The place could use a little sprucing up.

Friendly staff. Excellent papusas, solid queso, homemade spicy green salsa. For a little Arkansas town, this was better than could have been expected. Would return.

Beautiful day for a ride, so we decided to check out Cafe La Merienda in Danville for the first time. The papusas seemed to be highly recommended everyone, so, that’s what we started off with, three different kinds, and they did not disappoint, in fact, they were the best we’d ever had, as were the guacamole and handmade tortilla chips too. Next we had delicious plantains and beans which were amazing, but, the main dish was outstanding, we shared a plate of fried yucca, crispy pork and tiny little fish mixed in with a lovely cabbage….we could not believe how tasty this dish was, the yucca was perfectly crispy and fluffy in the middle, delightful!
Everything was so very delicious, the service was wonderful and prompt, everyone was so sweet there, especially our server, and it was very inexpensive, our four shared courses came in at under $30, which is amazing in todays expensive world of dining out.
I literally cannot wait to make the trip back there to try some more authentic delicious Salvadoran dishes. YUMMY!
