Juayúa Restaurants

  1. Hotel-Posada y Restaurante El Mirador

    A rooftop restaurant with one of the best views in town: a (low-flying) bird's-eye view of Juayúa and the volcanoes in the distance. Típica is served cafeteria-style, and during the high season there's live music on weekend afternoons.

  2. Pupsería Doña Cony

    You can't go wrong at this busy pupusería , which many say is the best in town. It's especially handy if you're staying at Doña Mercedes's across the street.

  3. Restaurante Pollo Rico

    What started as a simple chicken stand in 1990, has over the years become a Juayúa institution. Chicken is still the specialty, but the menu has grown to include cabrito adobado (chili-marinated goat), tenquiques (wild mushrooms, served grilled, in soup or ceviche), and even grilled frog's legs - they taste like chicken, right? Upstairs is a patio and great view of Volcán Santa Ana.

  4. Taquería La Guadalupana

    Classics like tacos al pastor (seasoned rotisserie pork) and chicken mole are served along with burritos, nachos, fajitas and other Tex-Mex faves. The daily special is a bargain, consisting of a large main dish, rice, salad and a drink. The restaurant has two floors and - lest you forget you're eating Mexican food - little caricatures of jalapeños, sombreros and tomatoes dance along the brightly painted walls.

  5. Tienda San José

    Inside this ordinary chips-and-soda minimart hides a surprisingly pleasant dining area with a sunflower motif and picnic tables. Friendly service and large plates of well-prepared típica make this a good choice. In the evening it becomes a popular meeting spot for locals and travelers alike.
