Mexican restaurants in San Salvador

  1. A

    Los Tacos de Paco

    Near Metrosur, this may be the most culturally enlightened taco joint you'll ever encounter. It hosts a poetry reading on Wednesday at 18:00, and has a small but good selection of books and artwork for sale. And as for the tacos…the sign says 'The Best Mexican Food in El Salvador,' which is either true or nearly true - either way, you won't be disappointed.

    Taquería Los Tapatíos

    At the far western end of Paseo General Escalón at Plaza Masferrer is this large open-air taco stand, serving up great tacos, burritos and tortas stuffed with the meat of your choice: chicken, beef, pork, adobado (spicy marinated meat), al pastor (seasoned rotisserie pork). Wooden tables with benches are set up off the road, so the traffic noise can be overpowering - then again, the bustling informality is part of the charm.

    Taquerilla Los Potrillos

    One of the best taco stands south of the (Mexican) border. You'll find all the classics - tacos al pastor, quesadillas, rows of salsas and tons of fixin's…food even comes served on Styrofoam plates. It's open late.

    Las Fajitas

    Housed in a melon-colored building, Mexican food rules here. Well, it's more like Tex-Mex: chips and salsa, fajitas, enormous tostadas…. Call it what you like, it still tastes good.
