About Restaurant, Latino, pupusas del cerdo (pupusas, pork)
The pupusa is El Salvador's national dish: a thick disk of masa (corn dough) stuffed with a filling — here seasoned pork — sealed shut and griddled until the outside is golden and the inside is hot and savory. Served with curtido (a tangy cabbage slaw) and salsa, it's hearty, handheld street food at its best.
At about 232 calories per 100 grams, a pork pupusa is more substantial than a plain tortilla, carrying a notable 11.5 grams of protein — among the highest in this group of dishes — alongside around 10 grams of fat and 23 grams of carbohydrate from the masa. The corn dough adds about 2.6 grams of fiber, sodium runs near 426 milligrams per 100 grams, and cholesterol is around 29 milligrams. Griddled rather than deep-fried, it keeps its fat in check better than many comparable dishes.
A single pupusa is filling, so one or two with that fresh cabbage slaw makes a balanced meal — the curtido adds crunch and vegetables for almost no calories. Bean or cheese-and-bean fillings are a little leaner than pork if you're watching saturated fat, but the pork pupusa's protein makes it a genuinely satisfying choice.
