LA PUPUSA FACTORY – Mexican
Salvadoran cooking with a Honduran sideline, run out of a modest northwest Miami-Dade storefront that gives away nothing from the street. The pupusa is the point - thick corn masa stuffed with cheese, refried beans and pork, arriving with curtido and tomato dressing - but the board runs on through baleadas, breakfasts, soups, seafood and grilled meats, with tortilla chips fried in house. Presentation is not the priority here; flavour is. Families at the tables, food that comes when it is ready, and a room considerably warmer than the frontage suggests.
