"A restaurant and market in one, Buffet de Pupusas is a great introduction to El Salvadoran cuisine and pupusas if you’ve never had one. The $14 all-you-can-eat option offers unlimited bowls of flavorful chicken soup with meat that falls off the bone and a wide selection of agua frescas, including horchata, watermelon, and passion fruit — a perfect place to start while you wait for your pupusas. Take advantage of the buffet-style situation, and order one of each pupusa, which is made-to-order with your choice of cheese and chicken, squash, pork, beans, or loroco — an edible, fragrant flower popularly used in pupusas and other foods in El Salvador. If you’re interested in branching out beyond those cheesy discs of goodness, check out the restaurant’s full menu that offers a host of Central American flavors in dishes like tamales, carne asada, and caldo de pata or cow feet soup, an especially popular order on weekends, or browse the Buffet de Pupusa’s stocked shelves for snacks and various food items from Central America to take home." - Brittany Britto Garley
