Totally unmarked, with metal grates covering the windows, you'll be certain you're in the wrong place. Welcome to the local's Salvadoran spot. The hidden pupusaria.
Once inside, you'll notice that the restaurant is larger than it first appears from the outside. There are several tables, as well as a full lunch counter with seats. Homely and warmly decorated, there's certainly a wonderful aura and atmosphere inside. The kitchen is visible from the counter, and the menu is only in Spanish.
There's usually quite a lunch rush, and it may be hard to find a seat at first. It's worth the wait, as you see delicious typical Salvadoran dishes leaving the kitchen and being delivered at a rapid rate.
The prices are extremely affordable, with various lunch specials costing only $5. The soup changes daily, so I went for the mondongo (tripe soup, in a beef broth, with carrots, celery, and yucca).
In addition, no trip to a Salvadoran restaurant would be complete without sampling their pupusas. I ordered the pupusas con todo, which came with pork, cheese, beans, and loroco.
Everything I tried was extremely fresh and delicious and I would certainly return again!
The food is splendid if you're looking for a place that reminds you of central America
