Girasol

One of my favorite places to eat in South Bend. I always get the college student special with 3 bean and cheese pupusas and the horchata.   The woman who runs it is really sweet. I've never had a problem finding a seat even when I go at lunch time. If you've never tried pupusas you should check this place out!

The El Salvadorian lady who runs this place is so sweet and makes awesome pupusas.  My boyfriend and I tried to replicate them but with no luck.  Perhaps if I befriend her, I'll improve my Spanish and learn her pupusa making secrets.

Also, the enselada de fruta and cortido are very delicious!

Not much to add to the earlier reviews.  Excellent papusas with fresh salsa and curtido for a little crispness.

The horchata is also very, very good.  This particular variety is almond with a bit of cinnamon, I think.

The elderly lady running the show is very nice, but a bit difficult to understand.  I don't, unfortunately, speak a word of Spanish so I was unable to chat much.  Ordering is not difficult, but asking questions about the food might not get you far.

Seating is very limited, and the place is rightfully advertised as "carry-out."

Still... excellent food and low prices, and I was ecstatic to find good Salvadoran in South Bend.
