La Cuscatleca East Reviews
Don't let the old diner decorations fool you, this place is Salvadoran to its core. It's situated with a fantastic view from the patio, as well. The service was cheerful and quick. They didn't even roll their eyes at my Spanish. The pupusas (I had a bean one and a pork one) were unfancy and perfectly delicious. The curtidos (cabbage slaw and spicy pickled veggies) we authentic and yummy. Oh, and the price is right! Satisfy your cravings here!
I love their pupusas here! I normally get the bean and cheese pupusas. Just ordering two is very filling for me because these pupusas are big and are at a great price. Plus they give you their slaw and sauces on the side, so you can put however much you want. The service is friendly and the food smells great from just walking in. I will definitely be back for more in the future.

I typically don't post reviews unless I am highly impressed. With that said, I just moved here from San Diego and I would have never thought to find such good planos and pupusas in Iowa. Great place I highly recommend it! My mother is from El Salvador if this matters.
