What is a Pupusa??

Pupusas are a beloved dish worldwide and the signature culinary delight of El Salvador.  Pupusas are not only delicious but also incredibly versatile. While making them at home can be challenging. Salvadorans take immense pride in their national dish, ensuring it’s made with fresh ingredients and eaten hot off the griddle. The traditional process involves cooking for hours. 

Pupusas are a handmade corn "cake", (thick corn tortillas like) that come filled with a variety of savory ingredients like beans, cheese, chicken pork, or vegetables, offering a healthy food option to our area.  Pupusas come in a variety of fillings, protein or vegetarian options. Made with nutrient-rich ingredients cooked on a traditional griddle, giving them that perfect crispy texture.

Pupusas are served with "Curtido", a fermented cabbage relish - severed with (homemade tomato sauce) Salsa Roja . This is a delicatesse that complements the pupusa. Curtido a perfect blend of a tangy topping of pickled cabbage, onion, and carrots, *non-hot peppers, vinegar, and spices which you will Not taste.  

Once you’ve tasted Salvadoran pupusas, you’ll crave them often. With so many variations to choose from, there’s a pupusa for everyone. No matter the filling, they pair perfectly with Curtido.  And since they’re naturally gluten-free, we also offer a simple two-ingredient Vegetarian pupusa, filled with cheese and refried beans.
