Have you tried a pupusa? This delicious food is native to El Salvador, with the name stemming from the indigenous word for “stuffed.” 🫓

El Tamarindo restaurant in Washington D.C. has been dishing out pupusas and other El Salvadorean cuisine for 42 years. 🇸🇻 Ana Reyes’ parents migrated to the US in the 1980s and wanted to provide a taste of home for their community. Soon, the popularity of the restaurant spread far beyond the El Salvadorean community. 👥

Today, generations of Washingtonians cherish El Tamarindo, and their food is part of the fabric of the DC region. Reyes calls pupusas “little packages of deliciousness and love.” 💕 Food builds bridges between cultures.
