Izalco Restaurant

Ignore all the Feliz Cumpleanos, Feliz Navidad, Christmas lights, foggy windows, and other chuncherrios (crap), hanging on the walls throughout the year.
Instead sit down and order an horchata and pupusas. Pupusas can either be made to perfection with cheese oozing out on the sides. Or they can be a blob of grease with a funky taste. So, take a risk. They also have rice pupusas, but I wouldn’t trouble myself ordering them.
Sopa de res and sopa de pollo are soups to be had with handmade tortillas and lime juice. Ideal for cold days or when you’ve been hit with a cold or when you’re just hungry.
One thing for sure, please go to the jukebox and play «Querida» by Juan Gabriel or some classic cheesy song like that.

disappointment.
i had the pupusa combo, which involved a couple of pupusas along with beans and rice. the pupusas were pretty good, the beans were the straight-​out-​of-​the-​can-​swimming-​in-​lard version and the rice was lukewarm.
it was also more expensive than i was expecting. the big combo plates were weighing in at well over ten bucks. i guess i should say relatively expensive, meaning you can probably do better nearby, both price and taste-​wise.
