Our family has been supporting El Pulgarcito for a number of years since we lived in the Markham and Sheppard area. Run by Mauricio, who operates the front of house and his wife, who makes all the delicious authentic El Salvadorian food in the back. Pictured below: - Con Todo Pupusas (Minced pork, beans and cheese, our familys favourite) that go for only $3.40 each! It is the size if my hand and 2 fills you up! It comes with tomato salsa and curtido (coleslaw). - Tacos de Pollo, 3 fried tortilla rolls with chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers and sour cream. -Yucca Frita and Yucca Sancochada: Fresh or fried yucca, crispy pork rinds, tomato salsa and curtido (coleslaw). And of course, Mr. Mauricio himself, who I got to have a great, but sad conversation with over the counter. As the LRT is expanding in the McCowan and Sheppard intersection, he mentioned to me that unfortunately he is unable to operate dining in, even though the Covid restrictions are lifted. The LRT is planning to shut down the small businesses in the plaza behind, which forces him to look for another location to operate again. I am not too sure how many months remaining they have at this spot, but I do hope those who frequently supports this business continues to support him and his wife when they are looking to operate closer to the Durham Region. Please call ahead, give a sufficient amount of time as everything is made by hand and with extra love and care.
This place is a gem, how did I not go sooner! Ordered yuca frita and pupusas. The food was incredibly delicious and clearly made with love! The yuca (cassava) was deep fried and crispy and included chicharrón (a nice surprise). Totally unexpected, was its pairing with pickled coleslaw and veggies, great combination. Now to the pupusas- we ordered two kinds: con todo(everything) and chicharrón y queso. Great flavour, both fillings were yummy, came with coleslaw and tomato sauce, again incredibly yummy and surprisingly tasty pairing. The owners were friendly and the service time was very reasonable. Will be back again soon!
Ordered pork and cheese pupusas and an order of the fried yuca. Delicious! Pupusas are made with corn meal and filling was generous for the price. Yuca comes with 4 pieces of AMAZING deep fried pork and some vegetables. The coleslaw and sauce that comes with it is sour and pairs perfectly with the filling food. Call ahead to order so you dont have to wait. Ate it too fast I wasnt able to take pictures! Cant wait to come back.
