"Salvadoran food is a DC staple, and Adams Morgan is home to DC’s oldest Salvadoran restaurant—which is also one of our favorites. Grab pupusas, tamales, and yuca con chicharron at the barn-house-style restaurant at the foot of 18th Street. It’s a quiet laid-back affair with groups scattered like confetti, keeping mostly to themselves while listening to a blend of American and Latin Top 40 hits. The menu is a Salvadoran-Mexican mix, so along with cheesy pupusas and sweet plantains you’ll find tacos, burritos, and fajitas. Pair them with a mangonada, a mango slushie with spicy chamoy and lime. Or toss back $4 Modelos and citrusy sangria during all-day Happy Hour at the bar." - omnia saed
