Recently, two of our taste panel members were in a local Costco Wholesale Club and noticed a road show event for some interesting and great tasting foods. Being a bit hungry at time, they decided to sample a couple of items. As a  result, our next item is Del Real Pupusas from Del Real Foods in Mira Loma, California.

What we liked: 
    Comments from our taste pane included "I really liked the outer corn texture of these.", "These Pupusas would make a great snack and they could als0 be a great part of a light meal", "There's a real nice flavor between the cheese, green peppers, and the outer thick tortilla-like shell", "I love the flexibility of being able to warm these in the microwave or on the stove top.  I especially like the stove top method because they seem to add a bit of crispniness to the outside.", and "These are a unique almost-quesadilla like item. What's great is that I love quesadillas so these are excellent."
