El Pulgarcito De America is a Hispanic restaurant located in Charlotte that has been pleasing customers for many years. The restaurant may appear a bit run down from the outside, but once inside, guests are greeted with a cozy atmosphere, complete with cushy booths. The menu offers a variety of delicious and generously portioned dishes, such as tamales, pupusas, and plantain empanadas. The pork and cheese pupusa is a popular choice, and the rica combo, which includes a tamale, plantain empanada, and pupusa, is highly recommended. The tamales, however, may vary in quality as the meat can sometimes seem dry. The real star of the menu is the flan, which is described as dense and creamy, and should not be missed. Service is friendly, and while Spanish is spoken by the staff, they also understand English. Parking is convenient and plentiful, making it an ideal spot for groups. Overall, El Pulgarcito De America is a hidden gem that should not be overlooked.
