El Salvador has delicious and cheap food

When it comes to reasons to visit El Salvador, can't help but mention food. On Sundays, all Salvadorans eat pupusas, their national dish! But not only that, as pupuserias can be found on almost every corner of every street, at any time of day. A pupusa is a type of corn tortilla that is typically filled with cheese, refried beans, and pork. There are numerous other fillings available, but these are the most common. They cost about 65 cents each and are served with curtido, a slightly spicy cabbage slaw, and tomato sauce.

The Salvadorian cuisine is based on corn, which has been a staple of the Mayan diet since ancient times. Many dishes, such as pupusas, tortillas, tamales, soups, and sauces, are made with corn.

A traditional Salvadorian breakfast would include eggs, refried beans, tortillas (and sometimes toast), fried plantains, and sour cream. And, of course, a cup of coffee. The best place to try local cuisine in El Salvador is on the street, where the locals eat. Typically, a food market will be located in a city's main square, where people will congregate in the evenings to enjoy the delicious homemade treats.
