Pupuseria Emerita

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!

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; or never tried authentic pupusas, baleada, and other El Salvadoran & Honduran food, please give them a try.

It's delicious!

Very unassuming spot for spectacular food. The family running the business was very welcoming. Will absolutely return.

¡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.

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 flour tortilla filled with beans, cheese, sour cream, your choice of meat). The hot sauce they serve alongside the baleadas and tamales really packs a punch (in the best way), and the pupusas are served with a generous portion of curtido (slaw).

I used to live in Central America and really missed the food. This stuff is the real deal, and without a doubt the best carry-out in Moorefield, 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.

Mil gracias a Emerita por llevar esta comida tan rica a Moorefield.

If you are heading out from DC to Canaan Valley, definitely consider stopping here for a meal, fantastic pupusas and carne asada.

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 I don't know Spanish. I ordered 6 pupusas: shrimps, bean, spinach, cheese, chicken, and a bowl of seafood soup. Everything is fresh 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 waiting for the food to cook. ... I just got home, and ate the pupusas and the seafood soup. I don't like corn tortillas and the pupusas were made, I believe, with corn meal. One of my dogs loved the pupusas!! I usually buy food that she will like and I will share with her. She lives cheese, and the pupusas have cheese!! I ended up putting the pupusas in the air fryer and they tasted so much better when crunchy!! Oh my goodness!! The seafood soup is amazing!! It has salmon, shrimps, clam, mussels, crab and crawfish, and potatoes. Next time I'm going to order extra soup to take home. Which I live nearby... ~110 miles away. Oh and the cantaloupe juice was amazing!! So refreshing.

Awesome food! Nice friendly service! I recommend this place to anyone!
