Tips from locals
University Avenue, is a main commercial district. Great food and ethnic shops nearby. Platano, serves traditional El Salvadorian specialties.
Great food and veggie options. The desserts are shareable, except you may not want to share!
OMG AMAZINNNNG!!!! Get #8, although I think any papusa with the avocado salad and the plantains will be amazing. The red sauce is the bomb. Also, this is great for kids - they have a little play area in the back. Close to home! Yay.
Salvadoran. We wandered in here one day and ...damn! Everything was delicious ... but notice the address here and stay away from the other one. It was ... how do sayyy ... Whack!
Delicious El Salvadoran food. Get there by 2:30 for great lunch specials. If you haven't had a papusa then it's time. :) Try the avocado salad. If you like soda, try the "Cola Champagne." It tastes like cream soda but has its own thing going and I haven't seen it elsewhere. Every town has Sushi and Chinese.... not necessarily papusas.
