Los Cocos Panaderia y Pupuseria

At first glance, Los Cocos looks like a Salvadoran panadería with display cases full of conchas and golden quesadillas (the moist pound cake, not the cheesy tortilla dish). But look a little closer and you’ll see a small dry-erase board behind the counter listing off pupusas. The classics like revueltas and bean and cheese are quite good here, but this Del Rey shop is our go-to for veggie-stuffed pupusas with contrasting textures. Order the squash, onion, and carrot pupusa with crunchy vegetables peaking through the soft masa, which you should top with zippy purple cabbage curtido.
