What You’ll Experience
Get a true taste of El Salvador by learning how to make the country’s most iconic dish: the pupusa.
In this fun and hands-on cooking class, a friendly local host will show you how to prepare pupusas—the stuffed corn tortillas loved across the country. You’ll shape the dough and fill it with traditional ingredients like cheese, beans, chicharrón (seasoned pork), or loroco, a local edible flower.
As the pupusas cook on the griddle, enjoy the sounds of local Salvadoran music and relax in a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Then sit down to enjoy your creations, served with curtido (pickled cabbage) and homemade tomato salsa.
This is more than just a cooking class—it’s a taste of Salvadoran life.
