SO GOOD PUPUSAS
A taste of El Salvador with a side of social justice
HELP US #FUNDTHETRUCK
We've launched a crowdfunding campaign to get help us recover from Covid-19. With these funds, we aim to pay off operational debt from 2020, and re-open the business. We've been closed since summer of last year and we can't wait bring pupusas back to the people!

#TheRevolutionWillBeWellFed
*UPDATE JULY 2022*
~WE ARE ALMOST BACK FULLY OPERATIONAL~
Thanks to the IFundWomen platform, we can extend our campaign as needed and receive funds right away to put them to work! Donations to date have supported acquiring a new commissary, and hiring of two key staff positions; learn more about our team below! Please continue to donate and share our campaign with your networks! If you are awaiting donor rewards like our pupusa party and pupusa cooking classes, we now have a team to support the planning of the events. We can't wait to celebrate our comeback with you!
We're aiming to raise an additional $3.2k to offset the cost of a new transmission for the SGP food truck. Thanks to Carlos from Charlie's Transmission on Avondale for a new transmission and support beams!
We are also aiming to raise $3k to finish paying off our second, long-awaited, COMMUNITY FOOD TRUCK! Our founder Cecilia has invested $30k so far for the purchase of a second truck with the goal of being a platform for youth and community members to launch and grow their own food businesses. Check out Pupusas 4 Education for more info on our youth-led, mobile, food and environmental justice MURAL ON THE COMMUNITY FOOD TRUCK! WHAT?!
Menu
But first... what is a pupusa? (poo-poo-sah)
From the homes and streets of El Salvador, pupusas are thick handmade tortillas, traditionally filled with meat, cheese, and beans, served with a side of curtido (pickled cabbage and carrots), and tomato salsa (usually mild). Pupusas are a meal for any time of day or occasion. For our founders, they symbolize their family and home. The best pupusas are made with a lot of love!
Pupusas
Chicharron con Queso (Pork and Cheese): (chee-cha-rone) flavorful pork cooked down with veggies and paired with cheese for the perfect combination
Frijoles con Queso (Beans and Cheese): (free-hole-ez) refried black beans straight from mama's kitchen and classic melty, crispy cheese (vegetarian)
Ayote con Queso (Zucchini and Cheese): (ah-yo-teh) also known as ayotillo, pipian, or calabaza, zucchini pupusas are a delicious vegetarian option (vegetarian)
Bebidas (Drinks)
Horchata: (or-cha-tah) a traditional Latin American refreshment, this drink can vary by country. Salvadoran horchata is made from the "morro" seed and has a grainy texture.
Jamaica: (ha-my-cah) this Hibiscus tea beverage is a staple of many cultures, and we love it as a refreshing summer drink! It comes lightly sweetened for a crisp, almost bitter taste.
