La Molienda's STORY
Our
STORY
Pupusas! Pupusas are Kings and Queens here. A traditional Salvadorian dish eaten by hand. Unlike the Arepa, it's filled prior to cooking. The Dough is a corn flour with lime incorporated to create the masa. Originally created by pipil tribes, the word pupusa is derived from popotl (meaning stuffed) and Haxkalli ( meaning tortilla) = popoatlax, now and forever known as a Pupusa. Exclusively a vegetarian meal stuffed with flowers or vegetables before meat was added to the original recipes. The Pupusa is accompanied by Curtido, a pickled cabbage side similar to sauerkraut or kim chi. Today the pupusa has its very own National Day every 2nd Sunday in November.
Since
2000
Our Journey started on March 15, 2000 in the town of Oakland Park in South Florida. We felt right at home surrounded by a small community of Central American nieghbors who also missed thier traditions and rich homemade meals. Now 20 plus years later, we have expanded to the heart of Central Florida to introduce our hospitality, cuisine and culture with our new community.
