8 best restaurants to get Pupusas in Toronto

Apr 1 2021, 7:58 pm

Toronto has an abundance of diverse foods when it comes to the Latin community. If you’re looking to try something new, look no further than El Salvador’s national dish.

Pupusas are typically made out of corn flour and stuffed with refried beans, cheese, chicharrón (pork), and more depending on what’s on the menu.

Normally, you’d eat these with a handful of coleslaw and salsa but they’re just so amazing, you can eat them on their own.

If you want the full experience, you’d eat pupusas with your hands – it’s okay to get messy, but if not, a fork and knife will do.

There are a bunch of Salvadoran restaurants in Toronto you can try out but here’s just a few:

Las San Sivar

The common Pupusas you can find on a Salvadoran menu are Revueltas, cheese, beans and chicharrón, Queso y Frijol which are refried beans and cheese, or just cheese. You can choose out of these at Las San Sivar. They’re available for pick up or delivery.
