The Latin Passport Dinner Series launched in 2012, and with much success the series has been extended another six months. Let the tour begin!

Each Latin Passport Dinner Series begins on the first Saturday of the month, and each corresponding country will be highlighted every Saturday throughout the month. Each dinner series features a four-course menu for $35 per person with supplemental beverage pairings available. These beverage pairings will highlight cocktails and wines from the featured regions.

El Salvador – May 4, 11, 18, 25

EL SALVADOR – Available in May 2013
Province welcomes you to discover a Latin Passport Dinner menu inspired by the smallest and most densely populated country in Central America, El Salvador. Its traditional cuisine is particularly distinctive among the diverse Central America regions and consists of food from the Mayans, Lencas, Pipils and Spaniards featuring a variety of soups, seafood, and dishes comprised of corn. Though El Salvador is most widely known for its handmade stuffed pupusa, a thick handmade corn flour tortilla stuffed with cheese, meat, squash and other fillings, it has a wide array of other great dishes too. Tamales, empanadas and sopa de pata are all savored
foods of El Salvador.
