Pupuseria Mi Pulgarcito — Restaurant in Covina

I came here since I was craving some pupusas, $3.75 each. I bought their chicharron (fried pork) and rueveltas which are filled with pork, beans and cheese with a side of salsa and curtido (pickled cabbage). I also got their Carne guisada ($19.99) which comes with sides of rice, beans, and salad. They also have a drink called ensalada ($7.50) which I don't see much; it's basically a fruit salad drink with chopped bits of apple and pineapple.

They might not be the best pupusas ever but they fill the...

I called for a quote. I needed 100 pupusas, and some fried plantains. She quoted me $480. I asked for a breakdown and she resisted. She then said each cheese pupusa is $2.25. I wanted an order of 100 and she said that it would cost me $300. I said how can that be? She said that they're a restaurant and they have to charge tax. I said, on $2.25, tax is not .75 per pupusa. Normally, when you call a restaurant, the pricing per item goes down when you order a large quantity. She said it's the price they have, take it or leave it. Where is the customer service in that??

Better off going to El Rancho on Citrus. They sell...
