If you are not sure where to start, this guide will help you choose the perfect dishes to enjoy an authentic Salvadoran experience from your very first visit.
Start with the Classics: Pupusas Are a Must

If it is your first time visiting a pupusería, trying pupusas is essential. They are the heart of Salvadoran cuisine and the best introduction to our traditional flavors. You can choose between pupusas made with corn or rice flour. Both are served the traditional way with curtido and homemade salsa. They are soft on the inside, lightly crispy on the outside, and full of flavor. This is always the best place to start.
Continue with Traditional Plates

The Salvadoran style carne asada is a great choice if you want a complete and satisfying meal. Served with casamiento, handmade tortillas, and fresh sides that complement the grilled steak perfectly. It is a comforting and filling plate that truly represents Salvadoran home style cooking.
Try One of Our Traditional Soups

Pupusería Las Cabañas also offers a variety of traditional soups that many Salvadorans love and miss. If you enjoy comforting, homemade flavors, this is a great option. One of the top recommendations is the sopa de res. It is rich, flavorful, and filled with tender beef and vegetables. It is perfect if you are craving something warm, traditional, and deeply satisfying.
Ready to Try Something Different?

If you are feeling adventurous and want to try something unique, the pupusa pizza is a must. This dish combines the traditional pupusa base with bold and delicious toppings, creating a mix of classic and modern flavors. You can choose from birria, asada, or al pastor. Each option offers a different flavor profile and is perfect for sharing or enjoying on your own if you want something truly memorable.
Refresh with a Traditional Salvadoran Drink
To finish your meal and refresh your palate, we recommend trying one of our traditional Salvadoran beverages. These drinks are perfect for cooling down and complementing the rich flavors of the food. From horchata to fruity options like tamarindo, maracuyá, or jamaica, each drink adds the perfect final touch to your dining experience.
