| - Damn, Daniel! back it again with the delicious pupusas. (that is already a dated meme reference, sorry to future yelpers)
The food at Pupuseria Katarina is damn good. The restaurant looks like a family run place in what I would guess was formerly a Mexican restaurant. Lots of tables. Plenty of parking. Right off the Jennings Freeway/176 exit for Brookpark Road. They close at 8pm on Tues, Weds, Thursday, FYI.
Service was definitely not five stars, but the pupusas I was shoving in my face made me not care at all. I would have liked for the server to tell us what the special was (2 pupusas, rice and beans and drink for $9) without having to say "are there any specials?" or what they have to drink, etc. but the server was attentive and there weren't really any other issues.
We ordered the garlic and cheese, ruvuelta (cheese, beans, pork) and the pork and cheese pupusas, with rice and refried beans. 2 pupsas a person seems about right unless you have a really big appetite. The pupusas are thick, but very soft and light, corn tortillas filled with different items. They were so good I got an order to go for lunch the next day. The refried beans are amazing. the cabbage and vinegar mixture (I see another yelper called it the curtido) was great on top of the pupusas, as well as the tomato sauce type stuff they include.
I had a perfect flan for dessert. Sweet, but not sickly sweet.
I can't wait to return.
