Tasting Local Barbeque at Seaside Food Park at El Salvador

2025-03-17 16.56.55.jpg

Hello there! How’s your day going? I hope you’re having a good one. My aunt called to see if we could have an early dinner at one of the famous Seaside Food Parks in El Salvador. I jokingly said, “Why not, especially if it’s free?”
--
We arrived at 5 o'clock, and I was greeted by the sight of many small restaurants lining the entrance near the seaside. It’s strategically located in the heart of the city and is quite popular among locals and residents from nearby towns. They serve some of the best food, and you can choose from a variety of restaurants. Since it was still daytime, there weren’t many people around yet.

The place is called Seaside Food Park because you can enjoy a beautiful view of the sea while dining on your favorite barbecue. They are open from 5 PM to midnight, and on weekends, they occasionally feature live bands that you can enjoy for free.

El Salvador City Hall is located near the national highway, making it an accessible stop for everyone. Visitors can enjoy some great and affordable barbecue here.

This is the seaside near the food park. The small pavilion is private property, so we cannot go there. However, you can walk down to the beach. The sea is very calm, and it's lovely to eat beside the water.

There are only a few people here, and we chose a restaurant near the beach so that we can enjoy the best view while we eat.

Now we are ready to order our favorite barbecue. There are so many choices available. We call it à la carte because each item has its own price. They also have the tastiest barbecue.

The prices are affordable, and we ordered our favorite chicken tinola, pork atay, tuna belly, and beef bulalo.

They make their signature vinegar dip and chilli sauce with many chilies and spices to enhance the flavor. These condiments are complimentary with any menu order.

We refer to this as "PUSO," a common dish in the Philippines. It consists of rice cooked in woven pouches made from coconut leaves. This method is very convenient because the wrapping serves as a natural serving package, and each PUSO costs 10 pesos. To eat it, you need to cut the PUSO in half with a knife for easier consumption.

This PUSO has been cut in half to make it easier to eat the rice.

This is Beef Bulalo, and it is a very comforting soup in Filipino Cuisine. This is very flavorful and incredibly tender beef shanks.

This is pork, atay (chicken liver), and tinola (chicken intestine) barbecue. They look very delicious. I know it's not healthy, but I only indulge in them when my cravings kick in.

Lemons and chilies are essential ingredients for enhancing the flavor of food. I enjoy hot and spicy dishes, so I always add chilies to my dip for an extra kick! They pair perfectly with barbecues when combined with soy sauce or special vinegar.

This is the tuna belly. Oh my, why was it overcooked and some parts charred? Good thing the meat inside is very delicious.

Everyone is ready to eat and enjoy the delicious food, accompanied by Coca-Cola to aid digestion. The burping part is very satisfying. They are all so serious, meaning they are very hungry! Bon appétit!

This restaurant is filled with flowers and is very aesthetically pleasing to the eye. The inside of the restaurant is very clean and so lovely.

I wasn't able to stay longer at the Seafood Food Park. I have to go back home because I have online classes. This is the end of my blog, and thank you so much for reading my blog. See you in the next content. XoXoXo

I totally agree! The view is something else, and the food is incredible! You can make your own PUSO; it's just made from coconut leaves.

I truly appreciate that. If you have been here, this is the location of the Heart of Jesus statue. You can visit anytime if you are in the area.

The PUSO is plain rice, not sticky rice. Yes, sticky rice can be paired with ripe mangoes, but I have not tried it because I am not a fan of sticky rice, though. I seldom eat them.
