Stuffed corn griddle cakes with signature toppings

Pupusas are the most iconic Salvadoran food tradition: thick, hand-formed corn (or sometimes rice) cakes stuffed with fillings like cheese, beans, chicharrón, and loroco, then cooked on a hot griddle. They’re typically served with curtido (a tangy cabbage slaw) and salsa roja, making this category perfect for both the pupusa itself and the essential sides that “complete” the experience.
