Salvadoran Pupusas and Homestyle Dishes
El Pulgarcito specializes in traditional Salvadoran cuisine, highlighted by handmade pupusas filled with combinations such as pork, cheese, and beans. Plates of stewed or herbed chicken and mixed grilled meats are served with generous portions of rice, beans, salad, and fresh tortillas. Dishes are prepared to order, accompanied by tangy cabbage slaw and fried plantains, in a modest, Spanish-speaking setting that often feels lively and busy.
