Review by Marian Cummerata

El Cuscatleco is a hidden gem in Durham, offering a cozy atmosphere that feels like home. The cheese and pork pupusas are simply outstanding, bursting with flavor and perfectly cooked. I also indulged in their tamales de elote, which were deliciously soft and sweet.

The service was friendly, and the fast-paced vibe makes it great for a quick meal. Prices are incredibly reasonable, making it an excellent spot for families!

Just a heads up - check your receipts closely, as there was a small overcharge on my husband's card... but I can’t wait to return for more mouthwatering dishes! 🌟
