Very small cafeteria-style restaurant. Offers stuffed vegetables dishes and faux meats. Stuffed peppers, stuffed squash, ground soymeat, etc. Originally named Arbol de Vida and re-branded to El Eden with change of ownership. Directions: it is in the basement of a building on the west side of Avenida 21a, next to an Internet cafe. Open Mon-Fri 11:00am-3:00pm, Sat 11:00am-2:30pm.

Good food. Simple buffet. Gluten and soy entrees. - Edit
First of all, the directions on this listing are perfect and lead right to the restaurant. The atmosphere is simple, very much an El Salvadorean laod back place.

Decent food, good price! - Edit
The food is set out in buffet style, you pay for what you choose. I went for 1/2 portions of four different items so as to taste more different things - the green crepes (rolled with a cheese filling) were my favourite. Overall I would say the food was good, but nothing special. The price was good at $2.70 for my meal, including a juice.

Small Place with Local Vegetarian Food - Edit
Yep...lots of stuffed veggies here and vegetarian versions of other Salvadoran dishes. There were about 12 different dishes (mains and sides combined) to choose from the lunch counter--about half were vegan. There is a disadvantage though--the food is a little too salty--but otherwise the food is of moderate quality (the other 2 vegetarian places in San Salvador that I tried were better).
Pros: affordable, Salvadoran food w/o the meat
Cons: too salty
