El Xolo is the only Salvadoran restaurant included in Latin America’s 50 Best Restaurants since 2022 and the winner of a knife at The Best Chef Awards 2025. Our cuisine is born from a deep respect for the territory and a contemporary vision that highlights Salvadoran identity.El Xolo revolves around native corn and local products, drawing on over 8 years of research into the Salvadoran territory. We use ingredients sourced from indigenous communities across different regions of the country, cutting out intermediaries to connect directly with producers and create a direct impact on these communities.We work in collaboration with various permaculture, biodynamic, and sustainable fishing projects, all in favor of the environment, which play a key role in the communities surrounding these initiatives, dignifying the work of their producers.We are supported by Claudia Alfaro Moisa, Curator of the National Museum of Anthropology, Dr. David J. Guzmán, archaeologist and museologist.
