El Atlakat

The Best Pupusas In Miami

"Not to be confused with Little Havana’s El Atlakat Restaurant on 7th Street (or El Atlacatl on Calle Ocho), this is El Atlakat on Bird Road—a Salvadoran spot that not only completes the Atlakat trilogy on this guide, but has also been serving very good pupusas for decades. Our favorite one here is the loroco. If all flower buds tasted this good, we’d be grazing the floral section of Whole Foods and covering bouquets with cheese. And the revuelta stuffed with mozzarella, refried beans, and pork belly is rich and creamy inside. The pupusas are big, only about $5 each, and come with fermented cabbage and salsa roja.
