It's pupusa.

Perhaps the most annoying thing about ballfield over-coverage in the "blogs."

Go back for dinner. It's not fancy but all things considered I have too say it's my favorite restaurant in town.
Best Onion Rings in New York (We're Looking for a Few Good Rings)
Many years later -- menu's I'd say pretty uniformly good. The steak w/ short rib etc is good. Fish tends to be good. The ravioli appetizer is excellent. The fried artichoke salad app is great. (but a little eh in the non-fried version.)
Good bartenders, nice cocktail list. And the onion rings are v good.
All in all a good restaurant. I live in the neighborhood and eat there maybe once a month. To me it doesn't really compare to Marlow. If I could only go to one restaurant I would pick Marlow (right down the street) w/o a second thought. As it is I prob go to Dressler once for every 3-4 visits to Marlow.

Does Anyone Really Love Pumpkin Pie?
I love pumpkin pie -- must be *canned* pumpkin (Libby's!) and home-made crust. Moderate dollop of whipped cream.
Cannot however stand pumpkin pie made w/ real pumpkin.
Go figure.

@zamboni: Don't worry about it. I should have jumped in earlier to address Jack_Barber's correction. So mea culpa on my end, too!

Adam: mea culpa! I thought I knew what jack_barber was complaining about, but apparently not.

@zamboni, @pingarina, and @everyone: Let me clear this up.
When this post initially published, I had misspelled pupusa as papusa. Jack_Barber jumped in to correct me, and I fixed the typo. I should have followed up here in the comments immediately, thanked Jack_Barber for his great catch (thank you, Jack!), and acknowledged that the mistake had been made and fixed.
@pingarina: Jack_Barber gives a link to the Wikipedia entry on pupusas. It is right there, in the comment you're referencing when you ask him what they are. If you don't want to click through, let me quote from Wiki:
A pupusa (from Pipil pupusawa) is a thick, hand-made corn tortilla (made using masa de maíz, a maize flour dough used in Latin American cuisine) that is stuffed with one or more of the following: cheese (queso) (usually a soft Salvadoran cheese called Quesillo), fried pork rind (chicharrón), squash (ayote), refried beans (frijoles refritos), or queso con loroco (loroco is a vine flower bud from Central America). There is also the pupusa revuelta with mixed ingredients, such as queso (cheese), frijoles (beans), [1], and chicharrón or bacon.
@zamboni: The "tacos" I mentioned in the article are not pupusas. What I describe under the "taco" heading are tacos, unless I've somehow worded it in a strange way that is confusing. If so, let me know, and I will attempt to fix it.

Pingarina: That's jack_barber's point - the "tacos" mentioned in the articles are actually pupusa.

@j: I read somewhere that their hours are roughly 9 a.m. to 10 p.m., but now I can't find my original source on that. I'll try to contact Cesar Fuentes for official word.

@sarahlucy: You should have no trouble parking there. There's not a dedicated parking lot, but there seemed to be plenty of street parking, especially if you don't mind walking a couple blocks. The streets where the trucks are seemed to be full with cars, but a block or two away there were spots.

Don't expect big ol' plates of pork, on the other hand. A 3rd Ward staffer wrote to tell me, "We will be serving pork tacos, Mexican coleslaw, corn on the cob and beans. Everything will be priced per item and nothing will cost more than $6."
