"Whenyou're looking for something to eat after 2am or a need a filling, portable meal, turn to pupusas. All around the city, you can find these masa discs loaded with chicharron, loroco, beans, mushrooms, and more, and topped with bright tomato salsa and lightly fermented curtido. (Plus, they're typically gluten-free). Ready your napkins, here are the seven best spots to find the Latin American classic-all for $6 or less each."
"This Salvadoran spot is dressed fully in soccer merch, and there's occasionally a crowd gathered around the TV watching a game, but you'll likely be singularly focused on the excellent griddled corn patties. The edges are crispy, the interior is soft, and the loroco always tastes fresh. The added bonus at Balompie is that their pupusas can be made vegan with non-dairy cheese."
"Their pupusas are gooey and delicious, and come with a side of tomato dipping sauce-the spiciest in the city. Once the let out, it can be tough to get one of their picnic tables both inside or on the sidewalk-have one of your friends wait in line to order while someone else keeps an eye out for some seats. And order the loroco and chipotle."
