Pupusas are a traditional Salvadoran dish made of thick, handmade corn tortilla that usually contains: cheese cooked and seasoned pork meat with refried beans, queso con loroco & just queso. I gotta be honest here, Pupusas are on the top of my food list and is a very mouthwatering dish. When my mom makes them at home, I’m usually to the first to stuff my mouth until I’m full. Pupusas is a national dish that originates from El Salvador and is very simple and inexpensive to make.

There are a variety of pupusas to choose from, like: Pupusa De Queso, Pupusa De Loroco, and the most popular Pupusas De Revuelta. Once pupusas are done, you can grab a plate and get tomato sauce that can either be made at home or store bought & curtido which is typically served along with the pupusas and contains lightly fermented cabbage with red chilies and vinegar. It is said the pupusas were first created centuries ago by the Pipil Tribes in the territory which is now known as the country of El Salvador. Though people say that some Latin American countries like Honduras and Mexico make pupusas, they’re not as popular as they are in El Salvador. If you ever get the chance to try pupusas, I would definitely recommend going to this one Salvadoran restaurant in Los Angeles called El Majahual. They make some of the best pupusas that I know of and also horchata.
