Best Pupusas

To be clear, El Baron de Centro America has two locations, a very large one and the terrific little lunch counter version. Walk through the door into the utilitarian space with the bright tablecloths and you'll notice that the room is perfumed with warm corn, stewing beef and chiles. The pupusas made by a young woman behind the counter are almost wafer thin, with a headiness that catches you off-guard. The curtido is the absolute best in the city, if your idea of the best is slightly pickled, with just enough oregano to give it an additional twist. The gallon-sized jar of pickled carrots and peppers on the tables had our eyes popping and mouths on fire. -Rachael Narins
