A New Favorite

I had the pleasure of visiting Restaurante El Salvador in Fells Point (207 S. Broadway) last weekend, and immediately fell in love with the place.  Noisy and vibrant, with families and kids — it smelled good, felt good, and looked like a great place to grab something yummy.  It definitely didn’t disappoint.

I ordered platanos con crema, a beef empanada, and a cheese pupusa.  The empanada was served with curtido — pickled cabbage salad.

The plantains were fried perfectly, the black beans were pureed smooth, and it was a nice reminder of my old neighborhood in DC.  The empanada was crisp on the  outside, stuffed full of spiced beef and potatoes, and the pupusa was hot and fresh.  Everything was good, the prices were reasonable, and the service was attentive.  I can’t wait to go back.
