Full review: El “Happy Meal” Salvadoreño (8/27/2009)

The ambience of the tiny, second Pupuseria y Restaurant Salvadoreño location is like a small beachside cabana. The cinderblock walls are covered with neon beach towels, paper palm trees lurk in the corners and salsa music blares. In addition to a deep line of pupusas (thick little cornmeal cakes filled with chicharrón , fish, chicken, beef, ham and cheese, carne asada, beans, cheese, or calabacitas), the menu includes an assortment of dishes from way south of the border. Plain pupusas come with most meals and are eaten with a mild tomato sauce and a side salad called curtido, a sort of Salvadoran sauerkraut. The fried tilapia is large, with a golden exterior and thick flesh. Fish soup ( caldo de pescado , also available with shrimp) has a touch of sour cream and delivers a whole-body satisfaction akin to a fish coconut curry. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010)
