Salvadoran Pupusas a Crowd Pleaser
La Salvadorena serves up the tasty traditional Salvadoran fare.
The Watsonville Certified Farmers Market is well known for its wide array of delicious—and multi-cultural—prepared foods. One of the most popular prepared food stands at the market is La Salvadorena.
La Salvadorena serves tacos, tamales, and other traditional Salvadoran fare. Hands down, the most popular dish that La Salvadorena offers are the pupusas. Pupusas are thick corn masa tortillas filled with a thin layer of either beans and cheese, cheese, or a finely-shredded pork called chicharrón. Served with a spicy cabbage slaw and pureed red salsa, these Salvadoran treats are heavenly.
“The pupusas are amazing,” says Nancy Gammons, the Watsonville Certified Farmers Market director. “There is always a big crowd out in front of La Salvadorena.”
