Cooking Up Community: Salvadoran Pupusas

On May 24th at 6pm María Romero of Casa Latina will demonstrate Pupusas, originally from El Salvador, María has been a resident of Hudson for the last 20 years.  She started cooking and making pupusas (thick corn tortillas that can be stuffed with various fillings, including various meats, refried beans, cheese, and even squash flowers) from a little street stand in town.  Five years ago, she opened Casa Latina, which has become one of Hudson’s most loved places to eat.
