The national dish of El Salvador is the pupusa. Pupusas are traditional Salvadoran thick corn tortillas stuffed with various fillings like cheese, refried beans, and cooked pork, then grilled on a flat griddle called a comal. They are typically served with curtido, a tangy pickled cabbage slaw, and tomato sauce. Pupusas were officially declared the national dish of El Salvador in 2005 and are central to Salvadoran cuisine and culture.
