Some of the Salvadorian offerings include: pupusas with combinations of cheese, garlic, mushrooms, squash, jalapeño, beans, pork, and rice; pastelitos (which are Salvadorian empanadas filled with minced meat and spices); yuca fries, caramelized bananas with cajeta (a rich caramel made from goat's milk) or banana empanadas coated in sugar.
Mexican menu offerings include tacos, burritos, sopes, quesabirria tacos, gorditas, mulitas, huaraches (similar to a large, open-faced taco on a thick gordita-like base), and quesadillas.
If you have little ones with less cultured tastebuds, Pupuseria Los Guanaquitos is happy to accommodate with their kids' menu featuring quesadillas, chicken nuggets, and fries.
Our family tried a variety of items from the menu on our recent visit, including the revuelta (cheese, beans and pork), cheese and garlic, and cheese and jalapeño pupusas, the yuca fries, quesabirria tacos, and banana empanadas.
My personal favorites with the cheese and jalapeño pupusas and the yuca fries. If yuca is new to you, the flavor is mild, and the texture is similar to that of a potato. It's sliced and fried with crispy layers surrounding it and a flavorful sauce is included on the side for dipping.
