5 /5 Wade van Buskirk: On the corner of G and 5th across from Verns furniture is this yummy place. There are corner and 5th st entrances and the space had a few rooms with mostly table and chairs, but there were a couple of booths in the way back by the large kitchen with glass topped wall to see whats cookin. We ate pupusas and garnachas for the first time ever and enjoyed them. We had horchata and Mex coke, which were great. There were no chips or a salsa bar. An orange sauce came with the pupusas, which are sort of like flat tamales. The large green bottled sauce on the table might have been good when it was opened, but it has a old oxidized taste to me. The jalapeno and cheese pupusas were pretty awesome. Both our plates came with a small pile of pickled slices of jalapenos with onions and carrots, so there was adequate heat provided. I missed eating tortilla chips, but its not required I suppose. The meat and greens on the garnachas was very good, sort of like little meaty tostadas but not too crispy, so no crackups. A table was set up on the sidewalk for making pupusas on a walkabout, sweet. We will come back to try more Guatemalan food.
