Disco Latino Panaderia Bakery

The reviews thus far brought myself and a colleague to this pupusa haven. It took several months of contemplating to do it, and even the day of our journey the day of, we questioned each other on whether or not we really wanted to try a pupusa. We kept our course, and I promised myself to make sure I let others know that it’s safe to try, and it was tasty. I recommend tossing on some of the tomato sauce from the plastic bottle that they offer as a condiment, it took my pork and cheese pupusa to a whole new level. We both went w/​the pork and cheese, so I can’t speak for the others. There were other items on the menu that could bring us back for more.

Father’s Day = My Choice. Off we went to the bakery.
Papusas were great. Got a bunch, loaded them with curtido (slaw) and tomatillo salsa and went to town. Good have eaten more, but would have paid a dear price later.
The baked goods… just fair. Got some for the kids. Mostly dry, unappealing. The papusas would get 4 or 5 stars, but the name is bakery, so the sweets should come correct. And they did not.
Really nice people. Will go back for lunch, sans children

I thank those above who put it on the map. The only reason I gave it one fewer star than most is that there are so many great Latin options in the area, many better. However, this is the only one with pupusas, which are very good.
I’ve had a couple other items, Mexican chicken, tamales… all good, but with better all-​around options for such within walking distance, I can’t quite give it five-​stars.

Hidden gem here! If it wasn’t for my wife wanting to stop at the the thrift store next door I wouldn’t have found this place. Thanks babe! If you like pupusas, this is the the spot. I normally get them to go since they don’t have much of dinning room. Then again, I don’t come here for the atmosphere. I normally get a variety, cheese, pork, beans, revueltas, with the green sauce, their all good. Their chicken soup is really good, my kids love it. They have a nice assortment of Latin drinks and sodas that you normally don’t see. Also, don’t forget the pan dulce bread, I don’t know all the names but I just point and they tell me. My fav and must try is the niño envuelto (it means wrapped-​up baby and it looks like a slice of jellyroll).

Yum, not only did I get a lunch date with the lovely Angela M. but I also got the best chicken soup known to man and a papusa! Super win all around. Seriously this was the special of the day and I figured it would just be a cup or small bowl. To my astonishment this chicken soup contained a whole chicken breast, various veggies, and tortillas on the side to sop up the goodness. At this point my eyes were definitely bigger than my stomach.
Alas, I had to carry on. Next was the papusa, cheesy pork goodness topped with a vinegary cabbage slaw. Good stuff! This place is very non nondescript, but it’s in the same shopping center as a thrift store so use that for your landmark. Overall great prices and food.

After hearing wonderful things from Vanessa and Katie (who even said that she’d be willing to drive OTP on a weekday if it fit her schedule for this place), Alexa and I decided to try it out. I’m not sure how anyone knows the name of this place since it’s pretty nondescript. The outer signage only indicates that it is a bakery. Once inside, there’s a cooler full of beverages on one side and shelves stocked with grocery items on the other. In front of you are cases of beautiful baked goods, with lots of cookies to catch your eye.
Of course, I got a pupusa, cheese with the herb that starts with an L. And I opted for the item that starts with a B (I should take better notes) that the lady taking the orders recommended saying that she was just making a fresh patch. It’s full of eggs, beans, cheese, and avocado in an oversized and thick tortilla. There’s also hot sauce on the table. We ordered, then picked out our drinks from the coolers.
She brought our items to the small tables in the center, where there were a few other patrons also eating. Everything came out hot and fresh. The pupusa was delicious, but the avocado in the b one was the perfect degree of ripeness to make me fall in love.
After we finished eating, the cashier tallied our purchases. And I couldn’t help but get 2 of the huge cookies — coconut and pecan — to take for later. All that was just over $ 10. I made it to the car and back to Holcomb Bridge before I gave in to the siren song of the pecan cookie — dry (in a good way) with great flavor. I didn’t get to the coconut one until the next day, but it was also yummy.
I’ll be back to try the other flavors of pupusa, especially since the cashier informed me that I could call in my order so it would be ready for me when I arrived!

I’ve got pupusa fever, and the only cure is more pupusas.
Pulling up to Disco Latino, we spilled out of my rented sedan like giddy clowns at the pupusa circus. Inside we found baked goods, testosterone pills, various lice removal products, and frozen foods, but the pupusas stole the show. My favorite was the chicharron (ground pork) y queso. I also had a corn tamal that was very good and came with wickedly flavorful black beans. The beans were so tasty that we ordered more for dessert.
An optimal bite of pupusa will contain dough, filling, curtido, and hot sauce. I washed it down with guava nectar and a cajeta pastry.
I ordered in Spanish, but If you don’t speak Spanish the proprietor seems to know a bit of English. When I told her I found her on Unilocal,she asked me to pull it up on my phone. And after reading Katie W. and Vanessa T.‘s reviews, she shook her head in disbelief and grinned.
I wouldn’t recommend dining in if you have more than 5 people in tow.
Churros are only available in the morning.
Grocery shopping in the frozen food cases is optional.
Basking in the afterglow is inevitable.
We rode the pupusa train to glory.

A serendipitous little strip mall find that houses the best pupusas I’ve had the opportunity to pillage in Georgia thus far. It doesn’t look like much but as we’ve all come to learn, that’s often the case.
The chicharron pupusa was delicious. In Salvadorean cuisine, «chicharron» doesn’t mean fried pork rind as it does in other Latin American countries, but ground pork. I always seem to forget that little distinction, but it was yummy, nonetheless. What was also surprisingly good was the curtido [fermented cabbage slaw]. It was spicier and more robust than the bland stuff slung at most places.
The horchata was also very good. I went with my usual Mexican Coca Cola selection, but after taking a sip of Katie W.‘s horchata, I instantly regretted my predictable decision.
There’s some seating but it has the feel of a to go operation, despite the seductive telenovelas on the screen. Service was warm and friendly. I did all the ordering in Spanish, so I can’t speak to their command of English or ease in transaction for non-​Spanish speakers.
But, you know, I’ll gladly serve as your translator for 3 pupusas and a sip of your drink.

While out thrifting in the suburbs one day, Vanessa T. and I happened upon this little place in a strip mall that also housed a thrift store. We were pretty hungry at this point so we stopped in.
It’s a very low-​key, mom-​and-​pop-​type place. I quite liked it. We stuck to the pupusas (I got queso y frijoles) and waited while they worked very hard preparing them fresh in the back. To get to the restroom, you have to sneak through the kitchen, and I really enjoyed this because I could spy on what was going on back there. They were working hard.
My pupusa was delicious. Really, really tasty. I’d definitely come back for this. I have friends who live right near here and I bet they’ve never been here. That’s a shame.
I also had an horchata and it was delicious. Nice and spicy, not watered down or bland at all. They had Mexican Coke, too.
