“Hot and cheesy” is also going to be the name of my autobiography. Keep a look out for that, but for now – on to the food!

Although Latin American food can often get lumped together, El Salvadoran is a whole different style from Mexican food or Argentinian food. El Amoroso was our go to spot to get some El Salvadoran delights.

El Salvadoran cuisine is best known for the pupusa, thick corn tortillas that are typically stuffed with beans and cheese and topped with curtido, a cabbage slaw.

I was surprised but pleased to see plantains on the menu, which were served with beans and crema. Beans and crema created asmooth combination that paired well with the plantains. We also ordered steak, which was enough for food four people and left me as stuffed as a pupusa. Luckily all this food was only $40.

Lastly, if you go to any El Salvadoran restaurant, you have to order an El Salvadoran soda called Cuzcátlan also known as “cola champagne.” No it’s not actual champagne, but it does have an astonishing bubblegum taste to it. I was not a huge fan of it and opted for a Jarritos.
