About Las Pupuserías de Olocuilta
Olocuilta is the undisputed pupusa capital of El Salvador. This historic stretch of family-run roadside stands along the highway to the international airport has been serving the nation's most celebrated rice pupusas (pupusas de arroz) for generations. Unlike the traditional corn-dough variety, Olocuilta's pupusas are made with rice flour, giving them a thinner, slightly crispier exterior and a uniquely delicate texture. Filled with chicharrón, queso, loroco, or frijoles, and served with curtido and tomato salsa — stopping here is a rite of passage for anyone visiting El Salvador.
