In the area already and looking for a late lunch. Note that this place is called "Restaurant El…read moreSalvadoreño" on Google. You can find it by the giant sign reading "PUPUSASERIA" out front. We walked in and started reading the menu and chatting with the man at the counter. He helped us pick out *five* vegetarian pupusas. Pretty good start! We ordered the calabacitas and cheese, the green chile and cheese, the loroco and cheese, the spinach and cheese, and the bean. Then the guy was surprised we wanted to eat there - guess you only order at the counter for to-go. We also inquired about the aguas frescas, and upon being assured that they were not that sweet, ordered a tamarindo and a melon. We grabbed a small table under the TV playing cumbia and other Salvadoran music videos. There were several other folks in the place so we got to look at some of the other offerings, including huge bowls of menudo and possibly even huger tortas. Our pupusas came fairly quickly for pupusas (some places will advise you that they can take 15-20 minutes) and came with two sides: a bowl of a very thin but flavorful salsa, and a mound of red cabbage slaw that reminded me just a bit of a pickled situation. Two of us were able to eat the 5 together, although 4 would have probably been enough. But now we've tried them all. The green chile and cheese was my favorite; the calabacitas was also good. The bean would be better with cheese; I might try to eat it with a cheesy one in the future. Also, the aguas frescas were aMAzing. Definitely the best ones that I have had in Albuquerque, and possibly the best outside of Mexico. Just a delight! The only knock on this place is that they close at 6pm every day, so if you want them for dinner you'll have to get takeout the last hour they are open. They do have several breakfast-y options though, so maybe the next time we visit (and I definitely want to go back!) we'll make it a brunch thing.

I ordered takeout and decided to wait for my food when I arrived. I wasn't given an estimated wait…read moretime, so I spent about 10 minutes waiting in my car and another 5-10 minutes inside. Since there was only one other table with a couple dining in, I expected the food to come out fairly quickly. It ended up taking around 15-20 minutes for two pupusas and an order of yucca fries. Unfortunately, the yucca fries were very hard and cold and didn't seem fully cooked. The chicharron were nice and crispy and not to fatty. The yucca fries didn't have much flavor so once I got home, I ended up throwing them away. The pupusas, however, were delicious! I tried the mixed and beef asada with cheese, and both tasted fresh and were very filling. The portions were generous, and the prices were reasonable. Pupusas are about $5 ea and yucca fries with chicharron was $4.5. Next time, I'll definitely stick with the pupusas and probably order by phone ahead of time to avoid the wait. One thing I would love to see is some New Mexican-inspired flavors with green chile--adding that local twist would really take the menu to the next level for me!

We stopped in for lunch and stayed for the gluten free dessert. The food was very rustic and had more soul than the utterly forgettable fare in the downtown Santa Fe plaza area.
