Somerville is not satisfied with stealing marshmallow fluff glory away from Lynn.

Now they're Columbus-ing pupusas from Chelsea and East Boston, where they've been familiar and delicious for decades.

Pupusas are very much "on the map" unless your nose is glued to a sidewalk in Union Square. How about doing something original for once? Hipster assholes 😆

The first photo is a dish of Pupusas a Salvadorian (also enjoyed in Honduras) which apparently is considered a flatbread, although in terms of texture and taste, it's closer to a tortilla. I had always considered it to just be a stuffed tortilla lol. I grew up eating these, and it's been YEARS since I've eaten them, and the one in The Port of Call in Mystic, CT, tastes just like the ones I had as a child.

Second photo was monkfish, but I don’t remember exactly what else came on it. The monkfish alone was delicious, the best way I can describe the flavor is it having a very mild and ever so lightly sweet taste, it did not taste fishy at all, it just had a very clean and wholesome flavor.

Third photo is a dish of empanadas, also very delicious and highly recommended.

Fourth photo was some kind of bread pudding? I wish I had jotted down what it was exactly, but I do remember it tasting very good!

Fifth photo, a nice tall glass of a Lager by New England Brewing Company.

Sixth photo, a cocktail. Do I know what it is? Nope lol.

Pupusas are better when they're sizzling! #pupusas
This is how we do it! #pupusas

There are several Mexican restaurants in the urban area of ​​#Vancouver... but there are things you can't get... a good taco al pastor... banana leaf tamales... and #gorditas (similar to #pupusas or #arepas)... and since there's nowhere to go to eat them, yesterday: homemade gorditas.

Gorditas are thick tortillas that before cooking the disk of raw corn dough, are filled with some ingredient (generally, pressed pork rind, fresh cheese or beans); then they are fried.
