A Local Guide to San Salvador

David’s Been Here takes us on the road from Santa Ana to the capital city of San Salvador. After a quick rest, David takes off for Tipicos Margoth, a local eatery where he tries some traditional food and drink exclusive to El Salvador. From pupusas, a corn tortilla mixed with pork, cheese and beans, to horchata, a pumpkin seed beverage, David falls in love with the local fare and the laid back atmosphere it’s served in. Both the food and the restaurant are a must try when visiting the capital city.

Continuing the tour, David takes off to see the archaeological side of El Salvador, where he’ll visit three sites of important Mayan ruins as well as Lake Coatepeque. Check out these sites here. Don’t forget to learn all about El Salvador slang words and phrases and El Salvador beers in our travel guides as well!
