¡Para Comer! How to Order Food in El Salvador Like a Pro

Salvadoran cuisine is hearty and corn-based. Start with “Me puede servir…” (Can you serve me…). Must-try dishes include pupusas (stuffed corn tortillas) and yuca frita (fried cassava). For pupusa fillings, try “Revueltas” (mixed) or “Queso con loroco” (cheese with loroco flower). “Rigua” is a sweet corn pancake. Try horchata, a popular rice drink. Tipping isn’t mandatory but 10% is appreciated. “La cuenta, por favor” gets you the bill. Enjoy the casual, friendly atmosphere of pupuserías!
