Okay, this is a hard one. I know I'll have to go back again because I know this place can do better. So let's say 2 1/2 stars. My daughter and I dropped in for dinner earlier this week based on Seth A's review. And I discovered that I'd been here before with my husband for lunch one Saturday. My husband and I were thoroughly satisfied with our meals. I had the pupusas and don't remember what he had. This week, my daughter got the (giant) chicken burrito and fell in love. I was mildly surprised because at Qdoba, she only gets the veggie burrito. When I asked her about it, she said the chicken at El Pulgarcito is juicier than Qdoba's. LOL I wish I could say my chicken pupusas (with slaw) were good but I can't. (Insert sad face here.) While my pupusas looked great on the outside (fried to a perfect golden brown), the inside left me puzzled. When I cut into one, I saw no cheese, the "chicken" looked like some type of minced meat, and didn't taste like chicken. Not nasty but not what I expected. I also ordered a side of fried plantain. Yum! I love plantain. The crema (sour cream), mashed red beans, and cheese on the plate were new to me. It was a gooooood combination with the so-so pupusas. My daughter enjoyed my plantain platter as well. I can't get her to touch plantain at home. Our meal with drinks (two Pepsis) came to $18 plus change. Because I'm pretty sure I can get a better pupusa here, we'll go back again. Stay tuned...
