Small town restaurants abound in West Virginia, places where friends and neighbors gather to chat around steaming plates of delicious comfort food. And sometimes, the more rustic the restaurant, the more delicious the food. That’s certainly the case with Pupuseria Emerita, a little Latin American food hot spot in tiny Moorefield, West Virginia.

We love a good surprise, and here is one: there’s an authentic Salvadorian and Honduran pupuseria tucked away in Moorefield, West Virginia.

That’s at least in part because the ladies who run this little eatery know that the best food is made from the best, freshest ingredients, even if that means growing many of those ingredients yourself in a massive restaurant garden… which is what the folks at Pupuseria Emerita actually do.
