El Salvador Pupuseria Y Restaurante

Salvadoran restaurant · San Diego

@eater

"The name says it all: pupusas and more. And yet the name doesn’t reveal that there’s also a selection of Mexican standards, plus El Salvadoran-style tamales. Fillings are half of what makes a pupusa great; here they include broccoli, chicken, fish, chicharron, and cheese with pepperoni. The other half is the masa. Put them together, heat until everything gets gooey, and you get pockets of goodness that are best consumed in groups of at least three. The Mexican side of the extensive menu has beef birria and options like tacos, tostadas, quesadillas and burritos. Worth a sip: atol de elote, a warm breakfast drink." - Roxana Popescu
