We can’t...

The best pupusas in town! They serve a jar of curtido so you can put as much as you want, along with a bottle of salsa. Try their rice pupusa with queso and loroco - it's a must try. Great service and hospitable people. I also enjoyed learning about the story behind the name Purrushka and the...
