Las Cazuelas Restaurant & Pupuseria
3 Decades Strong !!!
Las Cazuelas is more than a meal; it's an experience - a celebration of life, family, and the enduring spirit of El Salvador. As we continue to share Mama Ney's legacy with the Highland Park community, we invite you to become part of our story.
For over 30 years, Las Cazuelas has proudly served the Highland Park community, standing firm as a testament to our enduring legacy.
Our resilience over the years, supported by the strength of our community, has allowed us to thrive as a business. Initially, with a smaller Salvadoran population, we expanded our menu to include Mexican cuisine, such as tacos, to ensure our sustainability.
This diversity in our offerings reflects our adaptability and commitment to meeting the needs of our patrons while honoring our roots.
What is a Pupusa?
They are thick corn tortillas that can be stuffed with various fillings, including various meats, refried beans, cheese, and even squash flowers.
The filled corn tortillas are then cooked to perfection on a traditional grill referred to as a comal. Per Salvadoran tradition, pupusas are usually topped with spicy coleslaw, called curtido, traditionally comprised of onions, carrots, cabbage, and a mixture of incredibly flavorful spices.
