La Santaneca offers an array of traditional Salvadoran dishes that take you on a culinary journey straight to the heart of El Salvador. Whether you're in the mood for a hearty breakfast, savory soups, or classic pupusas, this menu has something to delight every palate.
Start your day with a comforting Desayuno that features a variety of egg-based dishes like Huevos con Jamon (eggs with ham), Huevos Revueltos (scrambled eggs), or Huevos con Chorizo (eggs with chorizo). For a taste of something more rustic, try the Huevos Rancheros, served with fresh, flavorful toppings that bring a touch of warmth to your morning. Pair any of these with Platanos con Frijoles y Crema, a delightful combination of sweet plantains, beans, and creamy goodness.
For those looking to indulge in traditional Salvadoran comfort food, the Sopas section is a must-try. From the rich and tender Sopa de Pata con Pata Domingo Especial (beef and cow's foot soup) to the comforting Sopa de Gallina India (hen soup), each option offers a perfect balance of flavors and textures. The Sopa de Res (beef soup) and Sopa de Camarones (shrimp soup) are also popular choices for a satisfying and filling meal.
When craving something more iconic, you can’t go wrong with the Platillos Tipicos Salvadorenos. El Tipico serves as the ultimate Salvadoran feast, while the Enchiladas Salvadorenas con Casamiento (enchiladas with rice and beans) and Empanadas (savory pastries) provide a tasty, hand-held option. The Chile Relleno de Carne (stuffed chili peppers with meat) is a perfect balance of spice and savory filling.
If you're in the mood for seafood, La Santaneca’s Mariscos will not disappoint. The Mojarra Ranchera (ranch-style fish) and Coctel de Camaron (shrimp cocktail) offer a fresh and vibrant taste of the sea, while the Mojarra Frita (fried fish) is a crispy, flavorful delight.
Lastly, don’t forget to enjoy one of La Santaneca's signature Pupusas, such as the Queso con Carne Asada or Queso, Pollo y Frijol (cheese with grilled beef or chicken and beans) for an authentic, comforting experience. Wash it all down with a refreshing Horchata Salvadorena or a sweet Tamarindo drink, and treat yourself to a creamy Milkshake for a perfect ending.
