Tips from locals
Great food and veggie options. The desserts are shareable, except you may not want to share!
University Avenue, is a main commercial district. Great food and ethnic shops nearby. Platano, serves traditional El Salvadorian specialties.
Delicious El Salvadoran food. Get there by 2:30 for great lunch specials. If you haven't had a papusa then it's time. :) Try the avocado salad. If you like soda, try the "Cola Champagne." It tastes like cream soda but has its own thing going and I haven't seen it elsewhere. Every town has Sushi and Chinese.... not necessarily papusas.
The #8 combo with plantain and avocado salad is excellent and great value.
