"Panchita's has been making incredible pupusas at 16th and Valencia for over three decades. Each one is packed with meat, vegetables, and cheese that oozes out to form crispy edges around the griddled masa. Whenever we head to this counter-service Mission spot for a quick meal, hearty lunch, or 10pm snack, we inevitably end up with a couple of revueltas—a classic mix of chicharron, bean, and cheese—and then make sure to add an extra serving of Panchita’s fresh curtido on top before heading out." - julia chen 1, patrick wong, lani conway
