Top 10 Street Foods to Try in El Salvador!
The Pipil were the dominant tribe in the area before the Spanish conquest. They called their territory Cuscatlán which means "Land of the Jewel." The Pipil's intermingling with other tribes (mainly Lenca and Maya) and European colonists is still evident in modern-day society including Salvadoran cuisine. Although it includes ingredients introduced by Europeans such as cheese and onions Salvadoran cuisine still relies heavily on native foods such as beans and corn. These are used in a variety of meals and desserts that Salvadorans enjoy every day.
Taking advantage of the Pacific Coast’s access to fresh seafood is also an important part of several typical Salvadoran meals. However unlike corn-based meals Salvadorans don’t eat these every day.
In larger countries there are typical dishes that are specific to a certain region depending on the ingredients that can be found in the immediate area. However this is not the case in El Salvador. Because it is so small all these popular dishes are eaten all over the country from the coast to the mountains.
