About Pupuseria El Pulgarcito

Pupuseria El Pulgarcito is a favorite Hispanic restaurant in Charlotte known for its huge portions and delicious pupusas. Customers highly recommend the rica combo, which includes a tamale, plantain empanada, and pupusa. The pork and cheese pupusa is a popular choice, although there are other options available. The shrimp diablo with cilantro salsa is a unique dish worth trying. The star of the menu is the dense and creamy flan, a must-try dessert. While the decor may be outdated, the atmosphere is cozy with cushy booths. The staff is friendly, and the restaurant is clean. Parking is easy, and the location in a strip mall offers convenience. Customers enjoyed the rice and beans, as well as the well-prepared carne asada. The only downside mentioned was the lack of Chile in the shrimp ceviche, easily fixed with some hot sauce.
