Restaurante Acajutla • Bambu — Restaurant in San Salvador

Signposted as Relajo. Eclectic menu of Salvadoran specialities. As a starter (or main course for small appetites) I recommend the Yuca sancochada al estilo Chalchuapa ($7). Looslely translated as "Chalchuapa style stewed yuca", it is a ring of yuca wrapped around a filling of potato and yuca with cubes of beef crisply fried to create a crunchy texture. The recipe originates with a 'Clara Melia' who I hae not heard of but was apparently famous enough to get a mention on the menu. For a main course, the Coctel Relajo 2020 is a massive seafood cocktail of squid, white fish, shrimp, octopus, chile, onion and tomato ($10). Choose the national beers (either Suprema or Pilsner) and you will enjoy a beer that tastes better than the imports for less than $2.

Great second level dining area for people watching and friendly,...

The ambiance of as nice but wile traveling through El Salvador I have had better food. I got the shrimp Mac and cheese and the cheese sauce was a bit runny. My wife got the marine spaghetti and the selections of seafood barely had any meat on the crustaceans. The prices were also more expensive than nearby...

Excellent place in a very safe area. Not easy to spot if you are not looking specifically for it. It’s a gem for a seafood lover with awesome views. Order small plates but try a few if you could because their small ones are in fact huge. Great service. Awesome food. What more can...
