What to expect at a Salvadoran restaurant

Latin American and Caribbean restaurants bring together dozens of national cuisines: Cuban sandwiches and ropa vieja, Puerto Rican mofongo, Peruvian ceviche and lomo saltado, Colombian and Venezuelan arepas, Salvadoran pupusas, Brazilian churrasco, Jamaican jerk and Haitian griot. Many are family-run and closely tied to the community around them.

What to order

  • Pupusas, arepas or empanadas – inexpensive, handheld and a good introduction
  • Ceviche – fresh citrus-cured fish, the signature of Peruvian kitchens
  • Jerk chicken – smoky and spicy, a Jamaican staple
  • Cuban sandwich or ropa vieja – classics of Cuban-American cooking

Good to know

  • Many places do brisk takeout at lunch; dinner is more relaxed.
  • Weekend menus may include special dishes such as sancocho or feijoada.
  • Ask for the house hot sauce or pikliz – it is often made on site.
