Los Planes

It was my first experience with pupusas (Salvadorian cuisine). When I first stepped into the restaurant, I was greeted with the nice host/waiter. Since I told him it was my first time at the restaurant (and the menu was basically all in spanish…), he was very patient and thorough at explaining the menu. 

Funny thing, we had to use Urbanspoon to locate the restaurant, so Mr.Butter had the page on on his Iphone when we were at the table. We thought it may be because that the host saw the screen that he was so friendly.

So friendly that he offered us nachos while we waited for our food.

 Tamarind and coconut cinnamon drinks!
I really enjoyed my coconut cinnamon drinks. 

 Pupusas!

I regret not bringing a proper camera….My phone camera really doesn’t give the food much justice. We ordered 4 different kinds of flavors. My favorite one has to be the cheese one 🙂

Some kind of corn made “cake” with salty cream
I was so disappointed with this dish…because when I looked at it, i thought it would taste sweet… But no! I got deceived by the look! It was actually salty due to the cream. It was just weird…I didn’t expect that. Not that it tasted bad…my brain just wasn’t accustomed to the taste. It’s something nice to try…but i wouldn’t order again.

Plantains, cream and beans
Also a disappointment….the plantains were bland…and I did not enjoy the beans nor the salty cream. 
Overall, it was a nice experience in the sense of trying new cuisine. I think I only liked the pupusas. Even then, I was not crazy over them.

    the “corn cake” you had is a called a tamal. Tamales are normally salty but I’ve never seen them served with cream… interesting.

    Thank you for reminding me the name! So you had them before, but without anything poured on top of it?

  • crystal says:

    Yes, the only tamales I’ve had were without the cream on top. Maybe it’s because I usually buy them from women who make them at home and then sell them at the farmer’s market but usually they have a meat filling that’s cooked in a red salsa or salsa verde, which makes it more moist.

  • […] first pupusas were at Los Planes; they were something new to my foodepedia, interesting but I was hoping it could be more. Dona […]
