| - I wanted something different for lunch, and as I searched, I found Las Pupusas behind Ruby Tuesday's. The restaurant sign indicated that they served Salvadoran and Mexican dishes.
My wife and I seated ourselves. Within a minute, the waitress arrive with menus and asked what we wanted to drink. We both had brewed coffee at $1.50 each, with lots of refills, and lots of creamers. The menu is interesting, with photo's of the various plates taking up 75% of the menu, and toward the back the menu with prices. There is a window to the kitchen, and you can see the food prepared fresh. We sat right there.
I'm a little disappointed in myself, I could have tried a Salvadoran dish, but I played it safe, and ordered Juevos Rancheros for $5.00. The Juevos Rancheros had two eggs, over medium/hard, with fresh onions, bell pepper, and tomatos. The plate also had refried beans (south of the border variety, no cheese on top), and sour cream. Sour cream? I'm used to getting corn tortilla under the eggs and ingredients, but that didn't happen here. The food was good, and fair for what was paid.
The wife ordered Carne Asada. The dish came with a huge serving of rice, beans, and a small Mexican style salad (lettuce, radish, tomato slice). I tasted the Carne Asada, and to be fair, I'm never a fan of meat that is cooked brown all the way through. The wife liked it. I thought it tasted okay. Her rice was so very delicious. The meal cost $8.00, and it appeared to be a bountiful portion.
Confession time. I didn't know wat a Pupusa was, but from my window view of the kitchen, they looked like they were deliciously prepared. Next time, I'd try that. The other customers loaded up on it. It's probably the signature dish.
One note: the restaurant charges $.99 to use a credit card or debit card. It's a mild annoyance, I'll come with cash next time.
