Pupusas
Yesterday I took a group of my 3rd year Spanish students to sample the fare at Café Guanaco Jr. on 500 E. and 2700 S. in Salt Lake. At my urging, everyone ordered pupusas.
Pupusas are the must-have food of El Salvador, and they're really not that hard to make. Most recipes call for just 3 or 4 ingredients: masa de maíz (a corn flour available at most grocers), water, and whatever you want to put on the inside.
At Café Guanaco, they start at $1.65. Two of them make a mighty meal, especially when you add on the encurtido and salsa roja that come on the side. I'm thinking about going back next week while I'm on break from school and work - pupusas really are an ideal meal during the winter.

ReplyDeleteCafe Guanaco? Is that because Bistro Cucaracha was already taken?

I love love love pupusas. I had one at Living Traditions earlier this year--DELISH!
ReplyDeleteThey're delicious! There's a Pupuseria (probably not spelled correctly) here in Logan and it's way good!
