I had heard about this little restaurant, driven by it twice, eaten in it's former life and finally succumbing to my pupusa attack had a great meal. Morán Restaurant in the outskirts of Manchester is the place to go for Salvadoran food. These pupusas were essentially a thick griddle cake made with cornmeal flour and in El Salvador are considered the national dish.
Started with a complimentary basket of chips and great salsa. I ordered an ice cold Maracuya [passion fruit/parcha] which is one of my favorites. My order consisted of three pupusas filled with minced beef and quesillo cheese. They had just been perfectly made with excellent grilling...delicious and filling. The plate was accompanied with a little serving of tangy coleslaw [jalapeño] and a dipping sauce [not the salsa roja]. All in all it was very comforting!
Service was personal. I ordered in Spanish but all front of the house personnel were Spanish/English speaking. A very homey place to sit and enjoy some good food.
