Introduction to Salvadoran Cuisine

 What is Salvadoran cuisine?

Comida Salvadoreña or Salvadoran cuisine is a style of cooking obtained from the great nation of El Salvador. Many of their platos tipico or traditional foods have a heavy influence by the many of the Indigenous groups of Central America such as the Lenca, Pipil, Maya, Poqomam, Maya Ch’orti’, etc.
