Zamora Taqueria

What's it like?

Had a #1 combo (2 pupusas, plaintain, beans & crema). Both pupusas were nicely crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, enough filling for good flavor. My pupusa chicarones was quite porky in flavor; pupusa pollo y queso was, I thought, a little better.

Curtido was nice big chunks & strips of cabbage & onion & other veggies with a couple hefty slices of serrano pepper for good heat. Very homemade appearance & fresh flavor; served in a bowl on the side. Red sauce in a squirt bottle.

Beans had a strong bean flavor (good if you like beans), not much else (i.e., didn't taste any lard or other fat). Crema cool & creamy.

Combo with a can of soda about $7 (iirc).

Friendly folks working the counter & the kitchen (or both). Menu includes two breakfast items (a burrito & a plate), burritos & other Mexican & Salvadoran foods.
