October 04, 2024La Cuscatleca East is a hidden gem in Des Moines! 🌟 I love swinging by when visiting family, and I never leave without indulging in their amazing pupusas - specifically, the pupusas de queso con flor de calabaza. They are like savory pancakes stuffed with cheese and zucchini flowers, and absolutely to die for!
The portions are generous, with tasty cortido and fresh salsa on the side. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere cozy, making it a great spot for solo dining or a relaxed family meal. Highly recommend checking this place out if you’re craving authentic Salvadoran comfort food! 🍽️
