| - Given the recent yelp love this place has received (and being in my fave zip code), I decided it was high time to give it a try.
Parking was tough to find, and it was busy but not too busy when we went inside. The waitress was a little distracted and missed my initial order for horchata (a cinnamon rice milk drink). I finally did get it, and, like at Three Amigos, it just wasn't so great. Very grainy, and not the smooth creamy deliciousness that you seem to always get at joints in Chicago. So, a no-go on the horchata.
I then ordered two bean and one cheese pupusas. The cheese one was much better than the bean, but, in general, they were m'eh. It's basically fried bread and beans covered in salsa, which, by it's very nature, is going to be good, but I wasn't over the moon about them. I actually thought the tostones and the chicken tamales that my significant other ordered totally eclipsed the pupusas, and if I were to go back, I'd definitely stick with the tamales because you can't easily make them at home (although we sometimes try) and they are just so freaking delicious when they are made well.
So, this place was perfectly fine, but I'm in no hurry to go back.
