EL SALVADOR.

Again, after an exhaustive day the first thing we found is beer, “Regia” beer. Tastes fine and it is pretty inexpensive. Let me tell you, in El Salvador they use American dollars as currency since 2001. So a six pack costs $3.9 USD.

Second thing we found really delicious and inexpensive was “Pupusas”. Its name comes from the Nahuatl “Pupushahua” which means stuffed tortilla. This is the Salvadorian dish par excellence. These are corn or rice tortillas stuffed with pork, beans, cheese, chicken, etc. They are served with a special pickled cabbage on the side and a tomato-based sauce. They are so popular that you can find them anywhere at any time. You can have a pupusa for $0.40-$0.75 USD. Accompany this with a milk shake of real frozen fruit for $1 USD each shake.

We also found cookies and bread, the sweats… those sweats. It will take me two days riding to get rid of the unnecessary stuff. A bag of cookies can be found for $1-$1.5 USD, but they are so delicious and well made. You can get 6 pieces of delicious bread for $1 USD.

A Mexican torta can be found here for $3 USD… Delicious with pastor meat and hot sauce. Brian’s favourite dish so far.
