Pupusas in Washington DC: How the Salvadoran Dish Became Unique to the District

[@allenjohnson5159]

Born raised n DC in uptown wit Salvadorean since da 80$ and da 90$ I grew up wit Dem and consider them my peoplees my neighbors they always showed love

For the people complaining, this is actually a salvadorean and Mexican restaurant. They serve both cuisines so I don’t see the issue with the wall decor of famous Mexican people and the papel picado. Yeah I agree this does look like a Mexican restaurant especially when he’s talking about salvadorean pupusas and culture.

If someone has Facebook or Twitter tell them to put Salvadoran decor please! 😡 Salvadorean restaurants in LA do that!

I agree 💯 % with you . I’m Salvadoran, also from Los Ángeles CA . We Salvadoran have many panoramic pictures , we can promote our culture with pictures, not with Mexican singer ..

[@verdaderopatriotista1824]

​@@stalinvladimircabrera113It is what they do to promote and learn about the Latin culture for foreigners, That the owners of the premises and restaurants love that music or artists are their tastes has nothing to do with cultural roots.

these clowns have mexican paintings on a salvadoran restaurant.

[@edwinm072]

What’s wrong with that ?

[@xxJ0xx]

EdwinM07 uhh their not Salvadoran... go to any Mexican restaurant and see if they ever honor any other race other than theirs! You go to Chinese restaurant and see only Chinese culture go to a Russian or any restaurant with its nationality and that’s all you’ll see is their people no one else it has to do with national pride my friend, it looks silly.

[@edwinm072]

xxRVxx It looks silly to you because you see it as a negative manner . Mexican artist are pretty popular with Salvadorans . It’s not like they trying to steal it . They even have Pancho Villa in color with a green white and red colored ribbon around him not black and red.They just appreciating it. To you it looks silly so really it seems more like a personal problem lmaoo

[@xxJ0xx]

EdwinM07 not a single problem to me it doesn’t make sense you just don’t get what I’m saying after I explained myself so it sounds like you have no taste in culture or sense of community even national pride and I don’t mean arrogance but pride, it’s outta place their, it’s that simple.

Central American Restaurants always hang on the Mexican coattails. Always advertising Mexican food to make sure something sells. Where is the traditional Salvadoran decor? I’m just pointing out facts. Stick to your own stuff.

[@kombijr]

Riki Rikin kanayin of course. Your free to do whatever your heart desires. Why not do so under their own merit? It just bothers me that they always include Mexican stuff under their banner when they talk crap about being called “Mexican.” You gotta stick to one or another. This whole “somos de la misma raza” is false rhetoric. We’re different.

[@madnalab3901]

@Riki Rikin kanayin AND do you think, mexican don't copied salvadorean HORCHATA> horchata is not a mexican thing. Look it up. back in the 80's I remembered hit up some mexican restaurants and as a kid I used order ORCHATA, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,MEXICANS WERE SORRY MIJO THIS IS NOT AN HORCHATA THIS IS AGUA DE AROZ.....................until salvadoreans began to populate every city in the states, it was then that MEXICANOS began to integrate their own AGUA DE AROZ,,,,,,,,,,,,REBRANDED AS HORCHATA.................................look it up. homie. and no its not a disgrace to INTERGRATE MEXICAN FOOD ON YOUR STABLISHMENT...........ONE MUST BE FUCKING STUPID NOT TO DO IT.........MY FATHER IS MEXICAN AND MY MOM SALVADOREAN. / DO YOU THINK LITTLE ITALY IN SAN FRANCISCO IS RUN BY ITALIANS? NO....INSTEAD THEY HIRED MEXICANOS TO DO THE COOKING AND THE OWNERS ARE NOT EVEN ITALIANS.................MOST OF THEM ARE MIDDLE EASTER.....THATS A FAC. SO IF YOU ARE DOWN WITH MEXICANOS THEN FUCK YOU TOO. ................SALVAODERONS CONTRALONDO.................HOMIE

[@trabajosdehvacenusa7771]

I am salvadoran and i agree with you. Salvadorean should sticks with their own stuff. Instead of having a painting on the wall of pancho villa they should have paintings of PAQUITO PALAVICHINI. CLAUDIA LARS . GORGE GONZALEZ. FARABUNDO MARTI. ALVARO TORRES. EL INDIO ANASTACIO AQUINO. its kind of embarrassment we salvadorean don't marketing our own culture and identity. We should throw away to the trash can all the cds and sd cards of banda and mariachi and regueton music. Instead we should listen and promote our own music and stuf like. Hermanos flores. Orquesta san vicente. Grupo folclorico cimiente. Salsalvador group. Grupo coco. Etc stc etc.....ALL CENTRAL AMERICANS SHOULD DO THE SAME. MEXICANS HATE CENTRAL AMERICAN MUSIC. THEY TALK CRAP AND MAKE FUNNY OF THE CENTRAL AMERICAN MUSIC. CENTRAL AMERICAN MUSIC HAS BEEN SECRETLY BANNED IN MEXICO. Central Americans government should do the same
