They can be purchased from pupuserías, as well as streetside vendors. Pupusas are also found in certain areas of Guatemala and Honduras.

Pronunciation: Poo-poo-suh (stop giggling!)

Answer 1

Never ate one. I do like Taco Bell bean burritos and Pizza Hut veggie lover's pan.

Answer 2

I first discovered Pupusas when I moved to the Mission District of San Francisco, which has quite a few Salvadorean restaurants.  One of the best was near my house and when I observed lots of other diners eating them, I ordered them.  I fell instantly in love them; I like them "revueltos," which means with pork and cheese inside.  I ate them almost every night for months, but I especially like to put lots of red chile sauce on top becuase I added the cabbage.  What a great dish!

However, the best dish I ever tasted was probably the first time I had fresh fish tacos in La Paz (Baja, Mexico).  The fish had just come in off a boat and the tacos were served with a few "fingers" of fish that had just been quickly fried, a few slivers of raw white cabbage, very hot green salsa, and a white spread that tasted a bit like mayonnaire with lime juice.  They cost 25 cents each and were heavenly.
