Pupuseria Migueleña — Restaurant in Portland

Finally, real pupusas!! This is the first food cart I've tried in Portland and I highly recommend the food here. Being born in El Salvador and raised in L.A. I can tell you that this is as authentic as it gets. The pupusas were great. We stuck to the basics and got revueltas (beans, cheese and ground pork) and bean and cheese pupusas. The curtido (pickled/fermented cabage) was just right as well and the salsas (tomato sauce) were perfect. Even the drinks, fresco the ensalada (fruit salad drink) and horchata (don't expect the milk and cinnamon flavor of a Mexican horchata) were perfect.

So FYI, you know a pupusa is good when the cheese and filling melt out and brown up nice and crispy. These were no exception. These are hands down top 3 pupusas I've had in my life.. and I've had a lot of pupusas. I live 3 hours away, but I promise you, I would drive out here JUST for this exact meal again. It is worth a drive, this is a must for delicious Salvadorian cuisine! The staff is super friendly and courteous too, really clean food truck, just earned their 5 stars all...
