What food to eat in el salvador, central america?

Question

going to el salvador to visit my brother. what local food must i try out???

Answer 1

Of course, try our national dish, the Pupusa.

You would also not go wrong with trying Yuca Frita con Chicharrones - Fried Cassava with pork rinds.  They are extremely delicious.

El Salvador lies on the Pacifc.  The seafood is fresh and amazingly tasty.  Try a Parrillada de Mariscos - A seafood platter.  You'll l**k the plate...

Our tamales are to be experienced.  They are cooked in banana leaves, with big chunks of pork or chicken and vegetables.

Try Shuco.  It is a drink made of purple corn with beans and pumpkin seed sauce.  It is eaten as a meal.

Try any of the many atoles (hot corn meal drinks) in El Salvador.  Atole de elote, atole de piña, Chilate con nuegados.

Try some of the local sausages.  Longaniza de Nahuizalco is extremely popular.

The drinks can be quite an experience.  The horchata is made from the seeds of the Morro tree, and not from rice and milk like the Mexican version.  

Don't forget the tropical fruits!

I'm getting hungry just thinking about it!!!

Answer 2

You MUST have pupusas, they are delicious. A good place to go is "Los planes de renderos" the place is called "patty's pupusas". If you want to have a big variety of dishes in one place, go to the food festival of Juayua.
