You can not visit San Salvador without experiencing authentic African cuisine at UNAPENDA CHAKULA. My well seasoned Kikalaye , with Fufu, a Uganda’s culinary classic, was prepared to perfection, and my PILAU ( rice prepared with vegetables) was off the chain‼️ Not only was my African cuisine superb but prices are very reasonable as well . UNAPENDA CHAKULA has the the most delicious food and is the best restaurant in all of San Salvador!! I highly recommend it!
