Pupuseria Centroamericana Reviews
Hole in the wall restaurant specializing in pupusas. Nothing fancy, it's in a strip mall. Plenty of seating available though. The pupusas are amazing! Stuffed full of ingredients like, chicharon, queso, loroco, squash, and so many more! Prices are also really cheap for the amount of food you get. I was full with just 2 pupusas (and I have a big apetite!) I also tried the tamarindo drink, it was a bit on the sweet side but definitely refreshing. They also have a pastry case with items that are a dollar a piece. There are no directions on how to go about getting a pastry but all you do is grab one of the cafeteria trays and tongs (under the display) and load up on what you want. You then bring it to the register to pay and they will bag it up for ya.
The place has a slight feel of eating at your aunts clustered home. We tried the pupusa mixta and a baleada and they were nice. Our baleada looked slightly deformed and the flour tortilla was thicker than what they tend to be but it was very soft and airy. Their bakery section, though nice, is not my favorite part of the place. It's not the worst I've had but I've had better pastries/baked goods elsewhere. Still, I would recommend this place to anyone if they're close enough.

I ordered one order of baleadas sencillas and really enjoyed my snack. The order included three flour tortillas with refried beans and authentic cream and cheese! I came in to have one baleada but was unable to resist eating another! I only gave it four stars because I would like to return and try other meals!
