El Patio - 3193 Mission St., SFCA

   I was famished after my visit to the doc at St. Luke's, and this little place is right around the corner, a stones throw from Los Panchos. Since we're always looking for those perfect pupusas, I said why not? I should have looked at the menu instead of just ordering the usual queso and loroco, since they have a zucchini variation. As it were, these were pretty run-of-the-mill, the dough a little thick and chewy and the filling a bit shy of the normal. Even the curtido tasted a bit old. Couldn't argue with the tamarindo or the salsa, they were fine. It looks like Los Panchos and La Santaneca are still the front runners.
