I'm not sure what went wrong, but my pupusas turned out really dry. The masa cakes were not fluffy at all, and the curtido slaw was not very flavorful. I would not make these again.

These pupusas were a bit too greasy for my taste. The masa cakes were not very crispy, and the curtido slaw was not very flavorful. I would not make these again.

The pupusas were good, but the curtido slaw was a bit too spicy for me. I would make the pupusas again, but I would use a different slaw recipe.

These pupusas were a bit bland for my taste. The masa cakes were not very flavorful, and the curtido slaw was not spicy enough. I would not make these again.
