 Pupusa Love - Local Scene News Story - KQCA Sacramento
Even though the little Salvadoran patties of masa and cheese, which are either a pillowy version of a quesadilla or, perhaps, El Salvador’s answer to the calzone, are quick to eat, you need to have a leisurely approach to your meal.
The masa was tender but with a crusty exterior; the cheese was melty and stringy and, in the case of one of them, infused throughout with bits of green, herbal loroco, an edible flower indigenous to Central America.
Still, lean cuisine this ain’t, and so pupusas are perhaps not for every day, unless you have the good fortune to have the metabolism of a high-school kid.

A pupusa, the national snack of El Salvador, is made of two corn tortillas thinly stuffed with meat, beans, and cheese (or various permutations thereof), topped with tomato sauce and "curtido," a pickled-cabbage relish somewhere between cole slaw and sauerkraut, with a dash of hot pepper.
Pupusas are grilled to order and are best eaten hot, although you can also take them home.
Do not wolf your pupusas (two or three to a person, I would suggest), but remember to top them with the curtido, which is often the best part.

 EL TAMARINDO Restaurant Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
A popular Salvadoran snack, a pupusa resembles a pancake, but one made with corn meal and filled with a savory mixture that may include cheese, beans, pork or loroco (a plant part, apparently) or a combination of the above.
For my money, the cheese pupusa wins hands down, as some of the cheese seeps through the casing and cooks to a crusty finish, leaving enough within as a gooey, melty filling--rather like a tempting grilled cheese sandwich.
While I can¹t swear to be a pupusa expert, I would have to agree with my New Mexican contact that the cooks at El Tamarindo make mighty fine pupusas that emerge from the skillet without loads of grease and with a delicate, almost pancake-like body that would do Bisquick proud.

 Vendors Get a Taste of Assertiveness
It was just after 4 p.m., normally the hour when Langley Park's pupusa vendors park their white trucks along the neighborhood's cracked sidewalks and begin selling their cheese- and pork-stuffed wares to the stream of fellow immigrant laborers -- painters, cement layers and housecleaners -- coming home from work.
Although some pupusa trucks were operating in Langley Park then, county lawmakers were far more concerned with eliminating the traffic and aesthetic problems created by scores of crab and rib trucks lining major thoroughfares.
The pupusa vendors, many of whom obtain food preparation permits from the county health department despite their inability to get a business license, have flourished by offering the new immigrants a taste of home right at their doorsteps, for about $4 per meal.

Pupusas are “normally” about the size of CD and are made from a mixture of maize dough, cheese, and whatever ingredient you ask for from a menu.

 Pupusas in San Francisco
Although no two cooks prepare a pupusa in exactly the same fashion, the standard version consists of a flat bread that resembles a fluffy tortilla stuffed with white cheese, grilled on a griddle until crispy golden outside and gooey inside, and then topped with curtido, a spicy relish of pickled cabbage.
Luckily it's a cheap habit: As pupusas run about $1 to $2 a pop, there's no reason not to sample every variety of pupusa filling, including frijoles (beans), camarones (shrimp), chicharrón (pork), and loroco, a tasty green vegetable blossom that is native to El Salvador and other parts of Central America.
Finding a good pupusería may be as simple as checking your local phone book, but those with a fervent hankering to savor the Salvadoran snack should head to San Francisco's Mission District, where enough of these establishments dot the landscape to enable a serious pupusería crawl.
