You have a choice of meat or bean filled Pupusas. They are served with a traditional slaw and sauce. They also make tacos and the prices are very affordable. I have not had Pupusas since visiting a restaurant on Capital Blvd and was excited to see this truck in Durham. The food pairs well with beer and you can sit outside or inside the brewery. Be sure to check them out when at Durty Bull.

Wow. This place is…read moreAMAZING! The food is authentic as it comes! Wonderful service and for a small restaurant it was very quiet. I'll definitely be back! It's worth driving to if you want authentic Honduran food!

Hidden gem! Samantha's Pupusas was affordable and absolutely delicious.

They also offer huitlacoche options for a lot of their other food offerings, I can't wait to return to try. Service was friendly and efficient. It's a small, simple spot with only a few tables, but everything you need for enjoying a great bite of freshly made Salvadoran food!

The staff weee awesome and even brought us the homemade hot sauce (delicious by the way). Their chips for the chips and salsa are obviously homemade. Had to resist not gorging on those. I got a pork chop with rice and beans and fried plantains. The pork chop was fine but it was completely overshadowed by the rice and beans which were overstuffed by the plantains. This was just a delicious meal. The place has a wide variety of seating options for almost any size group. We also noticed they seem to do a brisk takeout business as well. If you're around or even passing through this is a must try.

Ten en cuenta que solo aceptan efectivo, pero estás aquí para disfrutar de la comida, no de sus métodos de pago :) / The Coal Miner, Carbonero ;) is the real-deal for Salvadoran cuisine. I love places that let one channel their inner Anthony Bourdain right here close to home. The cuisine is primarily Salvadoran with some Mexican-influenced dishes as well. No disputing the authenticity of the food; this is not a chain. The service was fast and friendly, although it did take a short while for the meal to be delivered. El Carbonero is quite casual, this is not a fancy spot. There were families and workers enjoying their freshly made pupusas. They only take cash, so be prepared. Get outside your comfort zone (perhaps) and definitely give this spot a try. Estarás gratamente sorprendido :)

The ones i ordered were a buck or two so it's a great value. If i had known they were so cheap when I ordered I would have gotten 2 or 3 other flavors to bring home for later. A pupusa is sort of like a Southern corn johnny cake that has filling stuffed inside then grilled. (Well that's how I how i had to sell it to my Mom anyways) It had great corn flavor and was fried nice and crispy on the outside and served piping hot. The order came with a side of Salvadoran-style pickled slaw made from cabbage and carrots. It was fairly spicy and still had good crunch. It goes really well with the sweetness of the corn. These make a nice little snack to munch on while out running errands and are much lighter and healthier than grabbing a burger and fries.
