About Restaurant, Latino, pupusas con queso (pupusas, cheese)
The cheese pupusa is the gooey favorite among El Salvador's stuffed masa cakes: a disk of corn dough filled with melting cheese, griddled until the outside is golden and the center turns soft and stretchy. Comforting and crowd-pleasing, it's served the traditional way with curtido (tangy cabbage slaw) and salsa.
At about 256 calories per 100 grams, the cheese makes this the richest of the common pupusas. It carries a generous 11.7 grams of protein per 100 grams along with the highest fat in the group at around 13 grams, much of it the saturated fat from the cheese. Carbohydrate from the masa sits near 22 grams, with about 2.9 grams of fiber, modest sugar, and cholesterol around 32 milligrams; sodium runs near 400 milligrams per 100 grams.
A cheese pupusa is delicious but more indulgent than the bean version, so portion is what matters most — one or two with plenty of the fresh cabbage slaw makes a satisfying meal while the curtido lightens the plate. If you're watching saturated fat, alternating with a bean or bean-and-cheese filling is an easy way to keep the richness in check.
