El Arepazo Y Pupuseria

The focus of El Arepazo Y Pupuseria is right in its name: arepas and pupusas, two dishes native to Colombia and El Salvador, respectively. The recipes are similar, but seasoned with subtle regional differences. Chefs mix corn flour or masa with water and salt, forming the dough into patties that they lightly fry and fill with cheese, beef, or pork. They also fashion savory empanadas and steam tamales inside hatboxes. Entrees include options such as a plate with colombian sausage, pork, egg, avocado, and plantains, and come in large portions that encourage family-style dining.
