I'm a guy...I try to grab as much pupusa as I can.
have a papusa, but stay away from the ceviche. I'm on day three of some really nasty food poisoning that seems to have come from the ceviche at the ball fields. it was really damn good, but not worth this.
10/21 is not their traditional closing day, it is closer to 10/31. They're still closing early, but I'm sure loosing only one weekend is considered by them to be a major victory, considering the alternative. Lets hope they're back next year.
