The cheapest
places to eat
are the comedores in El Centro, although the richer suburbs occasionally throw up a few surprises; the
Plaza Masferrer
has a number of roadside eateries that stay open until quite late, while the unnamed comedor opposite
Ay Jalisco
restaurant, off the Blvd de los Héroes, caters to local workers with cheap, quick and good local food. Anywhere in the city, however, you're bound to stumble over a
pupusa
stall sooner or later, whilst the markets and bus stations are full of stands selling cheap meals and snacks. The
Blvd de los Héroes
area has a few good restaurants, while the
Paseo Escalón
and
Zona Rosa
are more cosmopolitan, with pricey international cuisine - book ahead at weekends. There are numerous international and local fast-food chains throughout the city, although they're mainly concentrated around the
Monumento El Salvador del Mundo
and along
Blvd de los Héroes
. The prices quoted are for an average meal with a beer or juice.
