Pupuseria Patty - Asheville

Absolutely delicious, best pupusas and pastelitos I've ever had. Only place in town to find baleadas

My favorite place to treat myself with a meal out. So consistently good, and fresh. Anyone I've taken here falls in love with Patty's as well.

When the pupusas arrived, they were steaming hot and smelled amazing. The drive home was torture! They were about the size of my hand, thick, and crispy. They were greasy, but in a good way. They were a bit too big and floppy to eat like a cookie, so I ended up tearing mine into pieces. Between the two, I found the pork just slightly better, but both were delicious and perfect for a hangover. A word of advice: you really need to eat them while they’re piping hot, with the cheese still melty. Once the cheese and grease cool down, they lose some of their excitement—it’s a bit like biting into a solid piece of string cheese. The hot sauce that came with them was fiery hot; I used it sparingly to really enjoy the flavors of the cheese and meat. It also came with a side of what my American mind calls vinegar coleslaw—though I'm not entirely sure what it's really called. It was tasty and tangy, but had way too much salt for my taste, and that’s saying something from someone who usually complains about under-seasoned food. I definitely over-ordered with four pupusas for just myself, but I managed to finish them. For me, this was a one-time experience. I enjoyed the pupusas, but they felt so greasy that I don't think I'd crave them again or seek them out in the future.

Delicious! They were a bit too hot at first, but once they cooled down a little, the flavor really came through. They were a bit greasier than I usually prefer, but overall, they were very tasty. The service was excellent, and the interior is really charming.

I received excellent service from Patty's sister, who was incredibly sweet. The food is authentically delicious.
