Experience the rich flavors of El Salvador's diverse culinary heritage.
El Salvador's cuisine is a mouth-watering and delicious fusion of Amerindian and Spanish influences. Corn is a crucial ingredient in many dishes. You'll find a variety of meats like pork, beef, and chicken, as well as seafood like clams and shrimp. Some popular dishes include pupusa (a stuffed tortilla with cheese, pork, or other fillings), refried beans, and yuca frita (deep-fried cassava root with pickles).
While coffee is a popular choice, El Salvador has more unique options. For the adventurous, consider indulging in trendy cokas, which are very popular with teenagers. If you seek something truly unique, explore delights like Kolachampan, a sugarcane-infused soda, or the tantalizing ensalada – a blend of pineapple juice and an array of fresh, chopped fruits. For a taste of the exotic, savour the tamarindo juice. But that's not all—discover the heart and soul of El Salvador with Tic Tack, the country's iconic cane spirit crafted from the sweet sugar cane. Or, if you prefer something less heady, stick to beer – a favourite among the locals.
