Reviews for Pupuseria Emerita in Moorefield, WV
A real gem. The namesake pupusas are fanatastic. My favorite are the loroco y queso - loroco being an edible flower native to... Central America that resembles a cross between swiss chard and asparagus. They also have delicious baleadas (Honduran flourtortilla filled with beans, cheese, sour cream, your choice of meat). The hot sauce they serve alongside the baleadas andtamales really packs a punch (in the best way), and the pupusas are served with a generous portion of curtido (slaw). I used tolive in Central America and really missed the food. This stuff is the real deal, and without a doubt the best carry-out inMoorefield, and maybe even Hardy County, WV. Pro tip: Call in your order before you arrive. It might take them about 20 minutes,but when you show up, you'll have piping fresh pupusas right off the griddle.

¡Super ricas! Delicious pupusas. We were traveling through town & called in an order. There was a great park about a mile away... for our kid to play while they prepared our food. Their pickled cabbage on top was just the right amount of spicy too. Read more
Very unassuming spot for spectacular food. The family running the business was very welcoming. Will absolutely return.
UPDATE 2/20/22 The food is still awesome; but, the the long hair in my tamale stopped me from ordering more to take home. Took... my husband and I more than 2 years to get back there; but, it was MORE than worth the wait. If you haven't heard of them; ornever tried authentic pupusas, baleada, and other El Salvadoran & Honduran food, please give them a try. It's delicious! Read more
Oh my! I found this restaurant on Google Maps, and I have no idea what pupusas are but they look yummy in the photos and the... great reviews! Since I was driving by, I am so glad I decided to stop by. The young man working there was so patient since Idon't know Spanish. I ordered 6 pupusas: shrimps, bean, spinach, cheese, chicken, and a bowl of seafood soup. Everything isfresh made by his mom, who seems like such a sweet lady. I can't wait to try them... Sitting in the car with my girls waitingfor the food to cook. ... I just got home, and ate the pupusas and the seafood soup. I don't like corn tortillas and the pupusaswere made, I believe, with corn meal. One of my dogs loved the pupusas!! I usually buy food that she will like and I will sharewith her. She lives cheese, and the pupusas have cheese!! I ended up putting the pupusas in the air fryer and they tasted somuch better when crunchy!! Oh my goodness!! The seafood soup is amazing!! It has salmon, shrimps, clam, mussels, crab andcrawfish, and potatoes. Next time I'm going to order extra soup to take home. Which I live nearby... ~110 miles away. Oh and thecantaloupe juice was amazing!! So refreshing. Read more
Awesome food! Nice friendly service! I recommend this place to anyone!
Didn't expect to find this place. We stopped here on the way to WV. Best pupusa I've had to date. Taco was amazing. Cash only!
If you are heading out from DC to Canaan Valley, definitely consider stopping here for a meal, fantastic pupusas and carne... asada. Read more
