We visited @la_carreta_resto for traditional Salvadoran dishes that delighted our taste buds. We primarily went to try their pupusas—thick, handmade corn tortillas filled with various delicious ingredients, such as cheese, beans, pork, or loroco (an edible flower bud).

Delectable fillings,  golden-brown, crispy exteriors that give way to warm, gooey centers bursting with flavor and a symphony of textures and tastes that are both comforting and satisfying.
They were served with curtido, a pickled cabbage slaw, and a side of tomato salsa, adding a zesty and tangy contrast to the rich and hearty pupusa.
A versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a snack, appetizer, or main course. Whether you’re a meat lover, vegetarian, or cheese enthusiast, there’s a pupusa filling for everyone to enjoy.
We also enjoyed a wonderful tamale, a warming beef soup, some excellent and colourful cocktails, and yes, even a poutine with yucca fries (we had to).

A must-try for anyone looking to experience the joy of authentic Central American food. So, if you haven’t had the pleasure of trying pupusas yet, we recommend @la_carreta_resto. You won’t be disappointed!
