What Teray Says...

Before choosing Las Pupusas this week, we had somewhere else in mind to go on our double date with our favorite engaged couple, Trevor and Chelsie. Thankfully from their advice we heard our original choice wasn't the best, so we decided to go on Yelp and find something good in the area. We normally don't eat over in Henderson, because we live in the southwest, but 1) we need to cover more ground for all of our readers and 2) we were at the grand opening of the Patty's Closet at the Galleria. 

Las Pupusas is an El Salvadorian restaurant. I have never had this type of food, so I was pleased to add another category to our blog. From the outside, you would think this place was nothing, just a typical strip mall, quick food, restaurant. There is more room in this place than one would think. You just sit down and your waitress comes to you. A lot of people were also ordering take out, so there was a pretty good crowd in there. 

I have to be honest, I cannot remember the names of a lot of what we ate, because we just ordered by the numbers on the menu, but I will try my best. On a side note though, I do recommend if you eat there to sit in front of the big window where they cook the meat so that you can watch the process; it's pretty cool. We didn't, but wish we did.

We ordered a quesadilla for an appetizer. Quite honestly, it was one of the best that I have had in awhile. For appetizers we also from recommendations from the waitress tried the pupusas because how can you go to a restaurant and not try the item that the place is named after? Pupusas are tortilla pockets with meat and cheese inside. They are very good, except a little heavy. You could probably eat two and for a girl that could be your meal. 

For our food we all ordered different things. Trevor ordered a burrito which he said was very good. Chelsie ordered something that looked like a taco, which also looked very good. I ordered a plate with plantains, beans, scrambled eggs and cream. It was a different combo, but very delicious. Brett ordered something with rice, beans, veggies, and meat. Again, I don't know what it was and there wasn't an itemized receipt that we got at the end like most places, so I don't know the names. If you do go there, you can figure out what we ordered by the description.

Overall, the food was something different and the prices were very reasonable. For everything combined it was under 45 dollars with tip. I would try there again, but for take out because the portions were a very good size. Overall I rate Las Pupusas 3 out of 5. 


What Brett Says...


With a last minute switcheroo we went from going to get sushi to getting Latin American.  We were told by another couple that the sushi place we had chosen made them sick; while we aren't going to shy away from a bad experience getting sick is a whole different story.  We ended up at "Las Pupusas" @641 North Stephanie in Henderson.  We chose that part of town because it was brought to our attention that we weren't reppin' the Henderson area.  And rather then listen to Hendertucky folk whine we conceded.  There are a few Las Pupusas locations around town, I can only comment on the one in Hendertucky.  It is a quicker sit down/take out restaurant in a strip mall around tons of shopping, look at spending around $10 per person, expect to pay more if you feel like drinking.  

It's tough doing an in depth review on a place like Las Pupusas.  There isn't much of an experience beyond the food, the physical restaurant is in a strip mall and is really just a bunch of tables next to a take out counter.  On the plus side the girl that was running the counter was also our server, she was good.  We got what we ordered and didn't wait long for anything.  The only downside I saw was that the back by the bathrooms was a little unorganized and there was stuff everywhere.  I don't want to call it dirty but it wasn't clean.

The part that really matters is the food.  What can I say; it was good, not fantastic.  We started with a quesadilla, which was actually better then most quesadillas out there.  We also ordered a couple pupusas

For what it was and nothing more I give "Las Pupusas" a 3.5 out of 5.

Patty's Closet Outfit of the Week
Hi fashion lovers. Thanks to Patty and Juan of Patty's Closet for providing me with my outfit of the week this week. This blue tribal dress combines three of my favorite styles in one. The first being that it ties at the neck to accentuate your shoulders, the second being that it cinches at the waist and comes with this skinny belt. The third of my favorite things about this is that the bottom looks like a wrap skirt so it is extremely flattering and not too short that it can be worn to work! The color is deep blue with black and skinny teal stripes. It is perfect for the upcoming warm weather :) Everyone loves a fabulous dress!! This look is available at the Rainbow location! ♥
