• SO GOOD COCINA

    Previously So Good Pupusas, So Good Cocina includes a growing list of community chefs and partners. A taste of El Salvador with a side of social justice and equitable food oriented development.

  • Negocio Con Proposito

    In addition to selling our delicious pupusas, we hope to provide a mechanism for

    local culinary entrepreneurs and youth to sell their food, too.

    Business for Good

  • HELP US #FUNDTHETRUCK

    We're still recovering from the pandemic, but we're still going! We are relaunching pupusa catering along with community partner catering (now live!) and are working on relaunching the food trucks which need some investment to be operational again.

    #TheRevolutionWillBeWellFed

    *UPDATE JANUARY 2026*

    ~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, and investing in developing our EFOD business model. 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 are building a team to support the planning of the events. We've been working on this for a while and we can't wait to celebrate our comeback with you!

    We're aiming to raise an additional $5,000: $4,000 to invest in tuning up the food trucks (please recommend good mechanics) and $1,000 to go towards youth food justice work!

    What is raised is suppoting our relaunch as: SO GOOD COCINA, where we work with community chefs and youth entrepreneurs. Don't forget to check out our 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.
