Now that New York’staco renaissance of 2014has passed, it’s time to focus on the pupusa: a traditional handmade (and naturally gluten-free) corn tortilla that often gets stuffed with pork, cheese, and beans. Aside from the belovedSolber Pupusas在红钩球领域,大多数好的pupusas需要a trip to Queens.

That will change with the opening ofCabalito, at 13 Essex Street, on Friday. Owner Randy Rodriguez will sell five types of fresh pupusas, with fillings that include chicken, ground beef, and “revueltas” — a classic mixture of pork, beans, and cheese. Better yet: Each pupusa only costs $3.50, and it comes with a bright salad made with cabbages and carrots fermented in lime and vinegar. It sounds like this could be a strongCheap Eats2015 contender.
