El Salvador’s Best Street Food

Go to a street vendor to try pupusas.

Ask the vendor what types of pupusas they offer.

Order one 'loca' pupusa, one 'chicharrón con queso' pupusa, and one 'endiablada' pupusa.

Choose rice as the base for the pupusas instead of corn.

Watch the vendor prepare the pupusa by adding a small amount of frijoles, ayote, pollo, queso, chicharrón, ajo, and jalapeño into the dough.

Close the pupusa by folding the dough over the filling and pressing it together.

The vendor demonstrates how to properly close the pupusa without sealing it completely.

Cook the pupusa on a hot surface, ensuring it doesn't burn by occasionally flipping it.

Serve the pupusas with a spicy sauce and chocolate drink.
