Juayua Food Festival<\/h2>\n

Tucked away in the Northern highlands of El Salvador<\/span><\/a>, along the Ruta de Flores, is the small town of Juayua. This sleepy town comes alive every weekend with their famous Juayua food festival. The normally quiet plaza bursts into action with stalls lining the street, each cooking up different delicacies for tourists and locals. Stepping into this madness can be overwhelming, but don\u2019t worry, we\u2019ve got you covered.<\/p>\n

\"Juayua<\/a><\/h3>\n

Sample it up<\/h3>\n

A couple of stalls will be giving out free samples. Take advantage! If you\u2019re unsure, go back for seconds. Let the cooks woo you with their savory treats. Let them fight over you. It\u2019s all part of the fun.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t fill up on maiz<\/h3>\n

Latin America loves corn. They have about 10 million different foods based on an infinite combination of ingredients, but all with the same base staple: corn meal. Cooks will be grilling and frying up these corn treats in all shapes and sizes. Politely decline. The fried goodness may be delicious, but it\u2019ll fill you up instantly, leaving you regretting that you didn\u2019t get to the good stuff earlier.<\/p>\n

\"Juayua<\/a><\/h3>\n

Get the biggest bang for your buck<\/h3>\n

Just because you\u2019re in El Salvador doesn\u2019t mean things will be cheap. At the festival, a cup full of shrimp cocktail will cost about $5. That may not sound like much, but when you can get a heaping plate of beef, potatoes and salad for the same price, it\u2019s not worth it. The combination plates are where it\u2019s at. These dishes can have up to 4 different animals on them at once. This is really where you\u2019ll get the most for your dollar and be able to sample a few different foods. Just be sure to\u2026.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

Know what you\u2019re getting<\/h3>\n

Don\u2019t be shy. Ask what is on your plate! You may think you\u2019ve just ordered a big helping of fresh fish only to discover a greasy unidentifiable mystery meatball hiding underneath. Ask for a full explanation of your plate before you start digging in. Especially if you have any food allergies or preferences.<\/p>\n

\"juayua<\/a><\/h3>\n

Don\u2019t miss the entertainment<\/h3>\n

After you\u2019ve stuffed your belly full of deliciousness, roll yourself over to the main plaza. If you\u2019re lucky, local celebrity Manuel Jose will be wooing the crowd with his vocal abilities. What better cultural experience that watching a middle-aged El Salvadorian man sing and dance to Gangnam style?<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Invest in the dulces<\/h3>\n

If you have any room left in that belly, be sure to take advantage of the dessert section. These sweet treats may be on the pricey side, but trust me, they\u2019re worth it. Snatch up the tiramisu before it sells out.<\/p>\n

\"juayua<\/a><\/h4>\n

Happy feasting!<\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1207,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[143],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"\nHow To Chow Down at The Juayua Food Festival | Don't Forget To Move<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Headed down to the famous Juayua food festival in El Salvador?
