Fodor's Review:

Across from bustling Eastern Market, this tiny take-out restaurant with just a few tables serves the best pupusas (cornmeal dough rounds stuffed with meat, cheese, or corn) in town. The menu is a mix of mostly El Salvadoran and Mexican fare with favorites such as tamales, Peruvian ceviches, and fried plantains served with sour cream and refried beans. If it's available, order the homey Salvadoran Stew made with large chunks of beef, celery, carrots, and potatoes. The café is open 9-7 weekdays, 7-7 Saturday, and 7-7 Sunday.

Keep in mind: Reservations not accepted.
