R&R

Top choice in Western El Salvador


R&R is still the finest restaurant in Juayúa, and possibly in the whole Ruta de las Flores. Chef Carlos puts a twist on steaks, salads and Mexican food. Even when Juayúa is quiet, the tables at this small, brightly painted corner building are filled with happy diners.
