I absolutely adore this place. I happened upon it nearly two years ago while looking for another place along Colfax. We mistakenly ended up at the Little Wagon, but I am glad for it! Since then, I have taken my immediate family, the in-laws, and work friends over to this quaint and quirky little place. Most comments have been positive so far.
The pupusas are wonderful and are offered at a great price. I wish I could package some of their pickled cabbage and take it home! I also enjoy the tacos, which are full of meat, spices, and interesting veggie accompaniments. I am personally a fan of the pigs feet with yucca and also the pig skin with yucca, but these appetizers do not tend to be crowd pleasers to my chagrin. Also, the horchata is worth a try.
From last year, they have classed things up a bit by serving the salsa in fancier bowls as well as the cabbage and sauce that comes with the pupusas. The biggest "complaint" I have gotten from the people I have taken to the Little Wagon is that the prices do not reflect the size of the order - because the prices are so LOW and the plates are jam-packed with TONS of food!
Pupusas! They are pretty damn good here and the price is right. I like the one with the little fish but also loroco, squash, bean and pork are all good. I had lunch here with 2 adults and a toddler for less than $10. The staff is really nice and the atmosphere is far from fancy but comfortable.
Plus you can get a Salvadoran beer or Horchara to wash it all down. This is not gourmet food but it's very satisfying.
The menu is quite a cultural mix. There were Salvadorean items as well as fare from other cuisines. Â But I was here for the pupusas.
My pupusa con loroco was delicious. Â I also enjoyed the pupusa with squash. Â The curtido was excellent, with a vinegar-y bite that I loved.
I tried a taco al pastor as well. Â It was jam-packed with flavorful meat and spices.
Sadly, I only scratched the surface of the menu offerings. Â I'll just have to keep going back to try more.
