I get the pupusas and my favorites are the Reveulta and the Jalapeno ones. I love the Curtido and the spicy sauce that they will bring you.

Mi lugar favorito para comer pupusas, deliciosas, todo está fresco para ordenar. Las damas son muy amables. No sé por qué ponen malas críticas porque este es el lugar aquí. He ido a otros lugares como el Cuscatlán y la comida es sin sabor y las pupusas son muy pequeñas. El servicio es rápido si pides recogerlo para llevar y el ambiente siempre está lleno porque es un buen lugar para conseguir comida de forma rápida y sencilla.

The Price: It's cheap compared to other restaurants that are similar in the city, I think the prices are reasonable. The Value: The dishes are large, delicious, and inexpensive, you get a lot of authentic food for what you pay. The Parking: There's a small rock lot on either side of the building that gets pretty full, but I've never had a problem getting a spot. My Order: I love the loroco pupusa and agua Jamaica, I would order this over and over. I want to try the whole menu! The Conclusion: Try it if you're looking for an affordable and authentic meal, you won't be disappointed!

This pupuseria food truck has remained in the parking lot on this corner for quite a while, so I…read morethink it's more of a permanent fixture. It serves Salvadorian pupusas and aqua frescas. The ones i ordered were a buck or two so it's a great value. If i had known they were so cheap when I ordered I would have gotten 2 or 3 other flavors to bring home for later. A pupusa is sort of like a Southern corn johnny cake that has filling stuffed inside then grilled. (Well that's how I how i had to sell it to my Mom anyways) It had great corn flavor and was fried nice and crispy on the outside and served piping hot. The order came with a side of Salvadoran-style pickled slaw made from cabbage and carrots. It was fairly spicy and still had good crunch. It goes really well with the sweetness of the corn. These make a nice little snack to munch on while out running errands and are much lighter and healthier than grabbing a burger and fries.

Enjoyed a cheap drink while we waited for our takeout order. Food was plentiful, and while we intentionally overordered, I cannot say enough about affordability. Highlight was the sweet family that runs this place. The son served us, and engaged us in conversation. The mom was a sweetheart who helped take our order and even created a "dealer's choice" dish for a vegetarian in our party. East Charlotte is great because of businesses like this.

Located in a shopping center on WT Harris, gas station close by is a little sketchy at night but…read morenever had a problem when I go there. Inside you'll find a bunch of Salvadoran baked goods, snacks and even some soccer jerseys. There are 2 entrances to the location, one mainly for dining in and the other to pick up orders. I've tried their pupusas and they are amazing. I've tried a few places in Charlotte and this is the one that has kept my business. Their pupusas revueltas are made with Chicharon, cheese and beans, most places I've been to don't add beans but that adds something to it. They mostly speak Spanish but I think anyone can go and get what they want. A must try.

Definitivamente volvería y recomiendo que lo prueben también. Está medio despacio el servicio pero es porque se llena y están haciendo todo a la orden. Imagino que los dueños son cristianos porque tenían música religiosa jugado . Todo bien amables y atentos .

No disputing the authenticity of the food; this is not a chain. The service was fast and friendly, although it did take a short while for the meal to be delivered. El Carbonero is quite casual, this is not a fancy spot. There were families and workers enjoying their freshly made pupusas. They only take cash, so be prepared.

Point, providing no street visibility, and a rough parking lot! The inside mirrors the outside, worn but clean and with a decent amount of seating - booths and tables, functional if not comfortable! Bibical verses adorn the wall, obviously no fear here of standing up for what you believe in an increasingly secular society - courage should always be acknowledged, IMHO! I ordered the aforementioned Pupusas - 4 Cheese and Pork for $11.50 with Crudito included! These were good, not great, Pupusa - under-seasoned for my tastes (added a Rick Bayless (you must know who he is) measure of salt) and it was were I needed it to be - but still weak! Unfortunately the Crudito was very weak, barely fermented - a great side when done right, not the case here! This was not bad food, but there is better available, even as close as Los Primos, only several miles away! The combination of under-seasoning, lack of pork, and uneven grilling makes this more than a bit off the charts for best of show!

While the pupusas are undeniably tasty, the additional fee for using a credit card may come as a surprise to some customers.
