I stumbled on your channel by accident, I will be traveling there in june, was looking for things to do, food to eat, looks great and SAFE.... I am surprised you can just walk around without fear. awsome job on your videos... and if you make money from these videos then that is commercial use...

[@romyarevalo40]

Ricos los elotes locos 😊

Tortas are Mexican but El Salvador has its own traditional sandwich called “Pan con Pavo” which is made with turkey, a traditional thick sauce made of spices, fresh vegetables, and a cole slaw made with mayo, mustard, and other traditional spices.

[@JourneywithJenandDrew]

ahh yes! We've seen a lot of Pan con Pavo stands 😋

[@xercanrz6334]

that tortas call mexican tortas, so it is not Mexican tortas only has the name that is. I don't know why but the Salvadorenos call it, So in Mexico they don't know the tortas Mexicanas

[@salvadorianlivinginusa6660]

It is not called "Pan con Pavo" is called panes rellenos and is made with gallina india and is more like a traditional food that we cook for Christmas time but we can also eat it any time of the year, tortas is way different than panes rellenos o panes con pollo even the bread is different.

[@CelvinAleman503]

Nah dude you're tripping, El Salvador has another type of tortas, made of ham, letter, tomato, cucumber, avocado and some kind of steak 😂🤦‍♂️ you slowed those tortas are found mostly in the streets

[@irisidalianoubleaurodrigue9434]

[@nellyoungblood2047]

I just came back from visiting after 30 yrs. The Cathedral has a stairway that leads to the top of roof of the church. I believe it was a $2 dolllar fee, great view. Also visit the waterpark name "Sihuatehuacacan " if it gets to hot, it does have a water slide. Also, the recently open a mirador " Viewpoint " near your bus stop in the video, but its a uphill trek. The viewpoint overlooks all Santa Ana. Safe Travels.

[@JourneywithJenandDrew]

Oh wow I can't believe we missed the stairway! Sounds amazing

[@JC-op6km]

[@JourneywithJenandDrew]

Thank you ❤️

[@LaYziELoC7]

Loved the videos guys! When watching you guys eat elotes locos, it reminded me that us Salvadorans like to use Worcestershire sauce. Yes, the English dark red/black sauce. Not sure why it's popular. So if you were ever wondering what that sauce is, it might be "salsa Inglesa".

[@JourneywithJenandDrew]

Yes! I thought that was super interesting! 😄

[@marioRamirez-sv3hm]

Dig in your elite loco drew. Awesome 👌 👏 , good day you guys. ❤❤❤

14:00 it's mayo, mustard, ketchup and thickened worcestershire sauce that we call "salsa negra", on top you have it sprinkled with queso duro viejo :)

[@JourneywithJenandDrew]

😋 Gracias

[@exsenator1]

I just subscribed. I have watched some of your videos. The reason I hadn't subscribed before is because many tourists go to El Salvador-in my opinion- just to get likes/views/subscriptions. But I think you guys are genuine. I love how you try to speak Spanish. As an emigrated person living in Canada and knowing what it's like having to learn a language I appreciate you guys doing a great job.

[@luisgaleas5589]

Thanks guys. beautiful video.😊 I love you ❤

[@JourneywithJenandDrew]

Aww thank you so much! We are very interested in learning the most about the places we visit and hope to have our Spanish up to fluent one day ❤️ Thank you for your kind comment

[@JourneywithJenandDrew]

Thank you Luis ❤️😊

[@Fox_Zero]

Santa Ana is my favorite, you can check so many places near by, also consider trying a "pan con pavo or chumpe" it is our version of a torta, but made with Turkey, veggies, and a very tasty tomato sauce.

[@JourneywithJenandDrew]

Oooh sounds delicious 😋

[@carloschavez9365]

El turismo en esa zona es de lo mejor los alimentos son antojitos en todo el país el elote loco es de los más apetitosos en las fiestas patronales en todo el país y también la torta qué hay de muchos sabores en su mayoría todos son muy buenos la base principal de la torta es que siempre deben de llevar aguacate y frijoles untados como mantequilla adicional a eso llévame los ingredientes del gusto del cliente Ya sea carne de res o de cerdo también puede ser de pollo ojo de jamón también mortadela queso y otros ingredientes

[@FlyingNazgul-wm1dv]

A torta in El Salvador is any thick pancake shaped thing For example a tortilla literally means small torta A torta de huevo is like a round omelette and so on

[@JourneywithJenandDrew]

Oh wow that is helpful to know! Thanks :)

[@FlyingNazgul-wm1dv]

@@JourneywithJenandDrew there's a few same named things that are different from what you'd expect because of famous Mexican food If you're not there anymore it maybe doesn't matter but for example quesadilla in El Salvador is a sweet sesame cheese bread, empanada is a plantain cream dessert and pasteles are like meat empanadas

[@salvadorianlivinginusa6660]

Did you guys try elotes loco? Quesadillas is something that you would pair with coffee

[@JourneywithJenandDrew]

😋😋 Yes!

How long does it take from San Salvador to Santa Ana?. I'm planning a trip with my mom to El Savador her father was originally from Santa Ana. We're travelling from Costa Rica. Regards,

Around 2 hours by car. I recommend you to visit our National Theater in Santa Ana🥰

[@danielmelgar8918]

Tortas are spanish. They made french bread wider. Arab inspired them to add meat and sauce. Shawarma is flat bread with meat and sauce. They also inspired the taco and tortas. Bread, cured meats and cheese are European. Empanadas are Portuguese. Salvadorians call them pastelitos. Yuca if from Africa, same as coffee. And Peru invented the french fries. Because the patato is native to peru. French fries are a side dish like vegetable or a salad to them. Tomatoes, Red Hot Chillie peppers, Corn, squash, beans, pumpkins, berries, avocado's, dragon fruit, passion fruit are American. North, Central, south America these plants are native to the Americans.

[@VladimirHidalgo]

Hope you reported that AirBNB at 2:00 so they improve their place!

OF COURSE IS CHEESY THE WORD QUESADILLA MEANS MADE OF CHEESE. IT HAS SOME PARMESAN CHEESE AND CREAM CHEESE. PLUS FLOUR, AND SUGAR.

Puebla Some historians claim that the torta was created in Puebla, in south-central Mexico, before the Mexican-American war of 1846-1848. Under those circumstances, people sometimes lived hand-to-mouth and the torta reflects that kind of culture: it's filling, cheap to make, and easy to carry around.

[@JourneywithJenandDrew]

That is so interesting. Thank you for sharing!
