I hadn't seen that color before. She told me that was her intent and that it is her calling card. We talked about how different places have different representations of the papusad. She is a fan and a Chef , try her interpretation. I have traveled around and met plenty of types. This could be one of the best that I have had. Not sure of how crowded this place gets but we had the run of the place while we were there.parking on the front/street could be difficult due to a availability, but the rear parking seems sufficient.

The Review: I was in Heaven when I popped a burning hot cheesy pupusa in my mouth. Topped with the traditional curtido (cabbage) and salsa, it was phenomenal. I also ordered the plantains, which were perfectly sweet and fried to perfection. There was also a good amount (3 whole plantains) in the order. Whether you're looking for food from home, or have never tried Salvadoran food, you should absolutely must visit Las Delicias and have a taste. You will thank me!

Highlight for me hot and well cooked beef, tender. - Birria chimichanga (2) this is hefty, i thought this was a good chimichanga, i would probably ask for extra sauce next go around, it got a bit dry without it. - carne asada enchiladas, the lady enjoyed this, carne was moist and tender. - pork belly & yuca loved the pork belly originally thought it was more like a chicharron dish but enjoyed this style , the yuca wasn't my jam. - tajin elote (2) love tajin elotes so no complaints! - churro espresso Great spot, great service.

The woman helping me was so nice as I slowly asked question after question about the food. I decided on huevos rancheros and a papusa. The huevos rancheros came with some cheese, plantains, and a tortilla. The papusa was filled with pork and cheese. The eggs were okay. I perfer eggs that have runny yokes and since these were not I just ate the whites. The cheese was crumbly and salty which was a nice compliment of of the sweet tomato sauce the eggs were in. I love plantains and the flavor and texture of these were great. My favorite thing was the papusa. Ripping it apart showed off the pork and cheese center. The pork was tender, shredded, and seasoned well. This was a great breakfast to start off a Sunday.
