A few yards from Horizonte are houses that cook for the surfers staying in the area. We ate at Merendero El Teco once for lunch and another time for dinner. Their fried chicken is so good here and so was their fried fish. It was here where we had our pupusa (see separate entry) served with curtido and salsa. I woke up one morning and ordered it from them. Pupusas are a labor of love so ordering them in the morning is best. They were ready for us during lunch time.

They have a few benches on the rocks, the perfect place to have lunch after a morning swim in the warm waters of El Zonte. Dogs roam around the neighborhood, usually following those with food. They have plenty of dogs at Merendero, but a shoo from one of the owners teaches them not to bother the guests—at least until the next meal is served.
