Pupusas in Silver Spring, MD
Handmade Salvadoran pupusas with curtido and fresh tomato salsa — including a vegan squash-and-spinach version.
Pupusas at El Golfo Restaurant
The pupusa platter brings three: cheese, revueltas with pork and cheese, or the vegan squash-and-spinach — each served with curtido (pickled cabbage) and a freshly made tomato salsa for $10. They are griddled to order, which is why the neighborhood two blocks either side of Flower Avenue treats them as a weeknight staple rather than a special occasion.

- Cheese, revueltas (pork & cheese), or vegan squash & spinach

Customers on the work we do
We stumbled in on a Monday and there was good food and music! Vegan options are great, ceviche was a hit and Janet was the kindest server! Will be back!
Great as always! Quiet when there’s no live music, but the live music is always good. It’s a matter of what you’re in the mood for!
