"The pupusa might be the official dish of El Salvador, but El Cuscatleco makes the argument that it should be the official dish of everyone’s life. Theirs are incredibly pillowy, with plenty of cheese and tasty fillings stuffed inside the warm, griddled corn patties. The mixta with beans and chicharron is our favorite, while the pupusas filled with squash or oroco (an edible flower common in El Salvador that tastes similar to asparagus mixed with broccoli) are great as lighter options. Their small dining room is ideal for a quick snack, but they also have heartier Latin American dishes like a Guatemalan longaniza platter." - john ringor, adrian kane
