  • Salvadoreno # 2 is a very plain, very simple restaurant without much in the way of decoration and could easily pass for a laundromat with its flourescent lights, high ceiling and tiled floors were it not for the food being shuffled back and forth. What the place lacks in atmosphere, however, it makes up for in its food. To be sure, Latin American cuisine --- for the most part --- shares the same distinction as Mexican food --- for the most part --- in that its very heavy on fried foods, carbohydrates and fat. So, if you're a diabetic and/or have cholesterol issues, this is isn't somewhere you'd want to visit on a regular basis. For a people, who worked hard in the fields and who needed an inexpensive way to fill their bellies, this kind of food did it. Unfortunately, that doesn't carry over well into a prosperous and mainly sedentary society. If you haven't tried Salvadoran food before, do not assume it's just another offshoot of Mexican; it isn't. You will, of course, find some similarities, but there is much more of a concentration on yucca roots and potato than in most forms of Mexican food (with maybe the exception of food in the Yucatan). The pupusas are the obvious star of this place; they remind me of a cross between a knish, a potato pancake and a tortilla (stuffed). Quite tasty, though, again, greasy and more carbs than you can shake a potato at. I have no doubt believing there's a fan club of sorts for pupusas. They're cheap; filling and delicious. If you're looking to get away from fried foods, they do have grilled chicken and fish plates that aren't fried, but there's a reason why they're a lot less popular than other items on the menu cooked in ways the average, fat American shouldn't be eating. And, as hinted at in other reviews of this place and others like it, if you don't speak Spanish, you may have some "challenges". That should not dissuade you from visiting, though. I like those challenges, because I'm studying Spanish. If you aren't, you can always point to things on the menu, which are described in both Spanish and English. The homemade flan is quite good, by the way, and not at all "slimy" like most flans you find out there ("creamy" would be more accurate). You'll see signs on the walls that state, "Prueba nuestro nuevo flan casero!" (try our new, homemade flan!) and you should.
