Giselle, welcome! Thanks for the update; when I inquired during my visit, I was told the owner was from Mexico. Now, does it apply to El Caracol o the other one in the same block, three/four doors away?

The owner of El Caracol is from el salvador and the pupusas are good!! You can even try the chicken pupusas now! they also made some cheese and zucchini pupusas which are very very popular in parts of el salvador!

TS, pupusas is a Salvadorean dish and the people running Rinconcito Salvadoreño is from that country. I can’t say the same for El Caracol. However, if you had it and tell me it is really good, I am more than willing to give it a try.

re Pupusas: But how do you know the ones here aren’t good as well?! Yup, it was a milkshake. It seems like they just used raw oats and added it to a milkshake. Reminded me of “wheat” flavor bubble teas. In any case, I liked.

TS, no because, if I want pupusas, I would go to Rinconcito Salvadoreño instead!

Milkshake? Are you sure you are not referring to the horchata? If you, you made it once yourself!

Kevin, on some things, I have absolutely no shame… As you mentioned, if I wanted pupusas, most probably I would have ended up going to El Rinconcito Salvadoreño instead…

El Caracol was one of my first posts! The owner is still the same, and yea she owns El Caracolito, as sort of an alternative/typical mex-tex kind of place.

Can’t believe you came here and didn’t get pupusas..shame on you =P.

Mmmmmm need to remember to go to Rinconcito soon.. I have to write down where I need to go because I get lazy and end up at the same places over and over again.

Actually Kim, out here in Delta, people do get confused looks when I walk in and start speaking Cantonese. I guess the restaurants in Delta are not used to real Chinese people frequenting them…

Raidar, de nada! Quien sabe, repentinamente encuentre un buen restaurante alla que sirva comida Latino Americana!

Jessica, I can’t say if they have changed hands but, regardless, the food was good! ^_^

Sherman, too bad, if you speak Cantonese/Mandarin in a Chinese restaurant, nobody will be surprised; instead, they *expect* you to speak it! XD (Insert “I can’t read the Chinese menu joke here”).
