Lonely Planet review for Mount Pleasant Street

There’s no consensus as to why so many immigrants in the metro area are Central American as opposed to Mexican, but what can be confirmed is Mt Pleasant St is the corazon of DC’s Latino, largely Salvadoran community. Every few businesses advertise money-transfer services to San Salvador or surrounds, or sell cheap, delicious pupusas (Salvadoran baked turnovers stuffed with cheese and pork), or both. Look out for the 7-Eleven, popularly known as El Seven (cnr Kenyon St & Mt Pleasant St NW); the storefront is a popular informal hangout (inside, it’s just a 7-Eleven).
