A newish spot on Calle Latino (otherwise known as St. Clair West), this fluorescent-lit, linoleum-tiled spot is open for tasty, affordable Central American meals all day. In the morning, desayuno salvadoreno consists of eggs with slices of avocado, plus thick, sweet fried plantain topped with cool sour cream. Midday sees plates of pupusas, a thick griddle cake stuffed with a choice of filling such as classic chicharron (pork crackling) or frijoles y queso (beans and cheese). Harder to find in the GTA are the variety filled with loroco (a soft, green vegetable with a spinach-like taste), which pair well with crunchy cabbage slaw. Wee tamales are another great snack option: shreds of chicken or pork and kernels of corn are embedded in soft cornmeal dough, then wrapped in banana leaves and steamed. Dinner starts with a bowl of fresh guacamole and house-made chips. Follow those with tacos fritos—so bad for you, but so good to eat. Three corn tortillas are prepared with your choice of filling (perhaps juicy strips of beef), then rolled, deep fried and topped with refreshing, nutrient-deficient iceberg lettuce, white queso fresco cheese and more velvety guac. No liquor license, but a long list of traditional juices makes up for it; try the creamy horchata (rice milk) or the thick, pulpy passion fruit nectar. Literally a mom-and-pop shop, the restaurant is run by a welcoming Salvadorean couple whose friendliness outshines their limited English.
