Pupusas done properly
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.
