If you asked me to pick my favorite food to eat in El Salvador, it would be quite difficult. One thing is for sure: it definitely wouldn’t be tripe, which is made from the first of a cow’s three stomachs, the rumen, the reticulum and the omasum. No, it would probably be pupusa, which is considered for many a must-try food when visiting El Salvador.
Pupusa is made by stuffing a thick corn tortilla and then grilling it until it is warm and lightly 
browned. The stuffing usually consists of white cheese and beans, although sometimes pork rinds, squash and bacon are added. The pupusa is a typical street food of El Salvador and is the perfect companion for an ice cold beer.
Pupusas are served with curtido, which is a mix of sauerkraut and salsa, and you can mix in red salsa for an additional flavor. El Salvador celebrates National Pupusa Day in November, so start gearing up now with one of this delicious treats.

Cheese Pupusas the Best Amigo
I like your site by the way
my favorite pupusas are at the comedor down the street from hotel Sheraton in San Salvador. Ask for them with reduced oil and extra crispy. I’ve eaten pupusas across the country and prefer those of La Hacienda. An added benefit is that the curtido and tomato sauce are help yourself so you can load up…
