That&#8217;s what we talked about, that&#8217;s what we were looking for.  Driving down US 101 North near the downtown, I spotted a sign, and turned to Mrs. Burgerdogboy and said &#8220;how about Salvadoran?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She said &#8220;yes,&#8221; and I shocked the hell out of her and made a hard right into the small parking lot.<\/p>\n<p>About a dozen tables inside, one other occupied, we slid into a booth and were promptly greeted.  One can order from the server or at the counter, and Mrs. BDB was so excited at the possibility of an &#8220;authentic&#8221; meal, she popped to the counter and ordered for us.<\/p>\n<p>The Mrs. opted for a plate of a half dozen small tongue tacos, ordered a pupusa on the side, and a steak torta (sandwich) for me.  As an after thought, I asked if she had ordered a side of beans, she hadn&#8217;t, and then did, and was she \/ we ever glad!  Best frijoles I have ever had &#8211; anywhere on the planet, including Mexico, Spain,  and Central America!<\/p>\n<p>My sandwich was overwhelming in both size and flavor.  It came on fresh baked, very soft roll, with chopped lettuce, tomato, and dressing.<\/p>\n<p>The tacos were outstanding as well, served with the traditional accompaniments including pickled vegetables.<\/p>\n<p>We both had a <a href=\"http:\/\/jarritos.com\/\">Jarritos soda<\/a>, lime for her, pineapple for me (one of my &#8220;couple times a year indulgences I really shouldn&#8217;t have).<\/p>\n<p>The<a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Pupusa\"> pupusas <\/a>were grand as well.<\/p>\n<p>We couldn&#8217;t leave without throwing some of their wonderful, yet unpretentious food in the cooler to take home, so add another half-dozen tamales and a double order of the beans, and it brings our bill to under $30.<\/p>\n<p>This joint was a fabulous impulse.\u00a0\u00a0 Don&#8217;t dine in Aberdeen without considering a stop here.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/burgersdogspizza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/torta.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6711\" title=\"torta\" src=\"http:\/\/burgersdogspizza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/torta.png\" alt=\"Steak Torta, Aberdeen, WA\" width=\"412\" height=\"412\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.urbanspoon.com\/r\/321\/1624272\/restaurant\/Washington-State\/Restaurante-La-Salvadorena-Aberdeen\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: none; width: 200px; height: 146px;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.urbanspoon.com\/b\/link\/1624272\/biglink.gif\" alt=\"Restaurante La Salvadore\u00f1a on Urbanspoon\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We pulled into Aberdeen on a Saturday morning expecting to imbibe in a regular &#8220;Dennys type&#8221; morning breakfast.
