Villa Balanza Restaurant
Since 1999 Villa Balanza Restaurant has established itself as a place that seeks to rescue Suchitoto’s identity through its food and the protection of the towns architectural legacy.
Its facade is characterized by having a large scale, which holds a 750-pound bomb that did not explode, and that was launched by the armed forces of El Salvador at the nearby town of Cinquera, department of Cabañas. At the other side of the scale there is a pile of tortillas that makes a symbolic representation of El Salvador’s people and maize ancestral culture.
The interior decor shows old tools and utensils from the last century. You may also see a small exhibition of weapons and objects, legacy of the civil war that took place on the 1980’s.
