"For more than 40 years, this old-school Salvi restaurant has been well-known for its piping hot and beautifully presented molcajetes (protein- and vegetable-filled mortars). The location in Historic Filipinotown offers a unique take on pan con pollo (chicken sandwich). A large French roll is stuffed with tender and juicy chicken stewed in recaudo, an incredibly flavorful sauce made of tomatoes, spices, herbs, and roasted chiles. The recaudo’s intensity is complemented by a combination of curtido (relish), tomato, cucumber, and berro (watercress); a dollop of crema Salvadoreña tops this tasty sandwich." - Eric Valle
