| - They lost a full star for truly awful service, however, the rest of the experience was good.
I have never had pupusas before, but have been wanting to try them. I opted for the mixed pupusa, which had beans, cheese and pork. The filling was seasoned well and came out piping hot. I enjoyed the coleslaw-like curtido served along side. Though it didn't have a ton of flavor on its own, it was a wonderful textural contrast to the filling. The restaurant was very clean, there was a "soccer" game on tv and there were scenic photos on the walls to put me in the mood for some ethnic cuisine.
Really the only down side was some rude and extremely slow service. There were only two tables when we entered, but they both left and for at least some of our meal, we had the place to ourselves. However, our server was not very friendly or helpful when I explained I didn't know what pupusas were. Then, our order took at least 15-20 minutes to arrive. Once we were done, I tried to get our server's attention to ask for the bill, but that also took far longer than I would expect since I could easily see that the restaurant was not busy.
The pupusas were only $1.75 each, which were quite the good deal since one was actually fine for a light lunch.
