About Salvadoran Cuisine

Salvadoran cuisine is one of Central America's most distinctive food traditions. The pupusa — a thick, handmade corn tortilla stuffed with cheese, beans, pork chicharrón, or loroco flowers — is El Salvador's national dish and one of the world's great stuffed breads. Served with tangy curtido (fermented cabbage slaw) and red salsa, it's a complete meal in one round package. Yuca frita, sopa de pata, and horchata (rice milk drink) complete the Salvadoran table.
