Company Description

Inspired by traditional Salvadoran wood-fire cooking and recipes, Popoca brings a taste of the beauty of El Salvador to Oakland, California. Popoca serves progressive Salvadoran food like pupusas and tamales that use the freshest ingredients and fresh-milled masa, cooked over a wood fire. Their mission is to find and preserve techniques from the past to bring Bay Area residents a new and authentic experience in Oakland.

Key Deal Facts

Starting in January 2020, Popoca began as a four times weekly popup restaurant within Classic Cars West, a boutique vintage car dealership located in Oakland's Uptown Arts District.
A small team of four, Popoca raised $50k earlier this year, which has helped them with all the legal fees and licensing needed to start the journey of moving into their own space.
