El Chapin is a charming restaurant located inside a convenience store in Temecula. The rustic setting, complete with old-timey songs, creates a nostalgic atmosphere. The menu features delicious and fresh pupusas, including the popular carne asada and jalapeno options. The pupusas are crispy on the outside, cheesy, and flavorful on the inside, just like in Central America. The Guatemalan tamalito is soft, moist, and packed with delicious flavor, giving a taste of authentic homemade food. The service is friendly, and the atmosphere is welcoming. Guests can also enjoy the Mexican pozole, which is very delicious and not greasy. Since most dishes are made to order, it takes a little time to get the food, but it’s well worth the wait. With reasonable prices and a cozy ambiance, El Chapin is a great spot to grab a bite and enjoy authentic Central American flavors.
