CHARLOTTE — When Ismael Gonzalez could not find a restaurant in Charlotte that made pupusas to his liking, he and his family took matters into their own hands.
In 2020, despite the pandemic, he and his sister opened Pupusa 503.
Their specialty: Salvadoran pupusas, of course — thick corn tortillas stuffed with meats, cheese and vegetables.
In addition to his sister, Gonzalez’s wife and brother work at the University City restaurant as well.

Pupusa 503 is at 850-C Chancellor Park in Charlotte.
