I love their pupusas so.... Cheese, cactus, zucchini and jalapeno is the best combo

everything on the menu there is f-ing bomb. and if you're a puss and don't want to eat what you've never heard of, they have fish tacos and burritos also.

Kind of insulting to associate Guanaco with Guano. Guanaco is Central American slang for Salvadoran. It is literally the name of a llama-like animal.

@3: Did you miss this, in the first paragraph?

Perhaps we've passed the time when it's okay to mock a foreign word because of an awkward glottal stop or an unfortunate vowel movement, but my inner 3-year-old isn't quite ready to join the global 21st century and give up the childish giggling.


And the entire last paragraph? Mr. Constant is aware that he's being immature (and maybe not completely 1,001 percent politically correct, SHUDDER!), and he knows what "guanaco" means.

Thanks anyway!

@3 See how this works? It's always OK to make fun of whatever or whomever you wish, provided you make it clear that you don't care if it offends anyone.

lighten the fuck up.*

*though admittedly it is annoying that The Stranger sure likes to play both sides of this particular fence. Happily chastising people when they feel it's sanctimoniously convenient.

Well, if you want to offend ME, you'll order a burrito any any of these places, or anyplace else. Tragically misguided.

I'll bet every Salvadorean has heard the guanaco-guano joke a thousand times when he or she was eight.

There's a pupuseria in Seatac on Hwy 99 and 200th that makes really good pupusas, though their salsa and curtido are pretty bland.

Did you try Yucca Y Chicharron? Not my favorite, but my husband loves it.

Of course, he's salvadorean and has been eating this since birth.

I'm pretty sure Paul's money is still good, unless he's using Gold-backed Paulite Bucks.

Why does the name "crab Rangoon" make you giggle?

@3, @5: Perhaps you will join me and weep for all the Salvadorans who were gravely offended by this post.
12
@11 I will join you, but weeping is not guaranteed. I can provide smug cheerlessness and a side of chicharrón, however.

We need one of the pupu places in Puyallup!

"There Are Better Things to Do with Your Mouth" -- indeed and how true!

Hi I am first generation Salvadorean American born and raised in Los Angeles, CA and spent many a wonderful vacations in El Salvador eating to my hearts delights and because I was born in the USA my stomach is not accustomed to third world water (keep in mind I am 39) well I also spent some time in the bathroom too lol as for being offended by the article with the whole guanaco debate, fear not gabachos, my family and I have spent many lovely afternoons making fun of you guys, especially when you dance. My point is the article was not meant to offend, the reality is we as Americans can be a bit immature when we hear something foreign such as Ausfhart which I pronuanced aus fart. Gosh I spent many a drunken nights with friends making fun of the German launguage and how gutteral it sounds in the north. So don't get your panties in a bunch it's ok, it's human nature so go back to your regular programming.

Please wait...
