I had been longing for some pupusas in my home state ever since I had my first one at a famous by Salvadorian Americans pupuseria in Los Angeles. Since learning about El Shaday, it has not only been my favorite place to eat pupusas but also my Salvadorian girlfriend's favorite place to eat pupusas!
