Amanecer Salvadoreño Restaurant

Pupusas

Handmade corn masa cakes stuffed with your choice of cheese, chicharrón, beans, or revueltas — served with tangy fermented curtido slaw and salsa roja, the undisputed centerpiece of the menu

Yuca con Chicharrón

Boiled and fried cassava alongside crispy pork cracklings and curtido — a classic Salvadoran pairing with contrasting textures that works as a starter or side

Salvadoran Tamales

Steamed banana-leaf parcels of seasoned masa filled with chicken or pork and potato — denser and moister than the Mexican style, built for slow, satisfying eating

Plátanos Maduros

Pan-fried ripe plantains caramelized at the edges — the essential sweet counterpoint to savory pupusas and chicharrón

Salvadoran Soups

Rotating hearty soups — sopa de res or sopa de pollo — built from long-simmered broth with vegetables and starchy roots, the kind of bowl the regulars order without looking at the menu
