What the clean, airy dining room lacks in sophistication is more than made up for by the delicious and inexpensive food, including El Salvador's national dish, pupusa (poo-POO-sah), a thick, fried cornmeal patty stuffed with cheese, fried pork or a mixture of the two with refried beans.
Other high points on the menu include the pork and chicken tamales and meat turnovers called pasteles.
