I had a wonderful opportunity to schedule an interview with an entrepreneur originally from El Salvador. She runs a food truck along with her mother serving pupusas, a national dish of El Salvador, similar to the more commonly known arepas.
As I’m typing this, I have a trip to El Salvador coming up and part of my motivation for seeking out this hidden gym was to get a taste of what’s to come. I walked away more than impressed with my order and thus, more excited about my upcoming trip. They make various flavors and I opted for queso and jalepeño. The bread was hot and fluffy and the queso filling left a delicious trail when I pulled a piece off. The corn-made dough and the filling were beautifully cohesive. Needless to say, it’s a very underrated comfort food.
I didn’t record our entire conversation, but I wanted to provide a glimpse of her life involving her business & what it means to her and her family.
If you happen to find yourself in Memphis, TN, I strongly recommend you give this place a try. Below is their Facebook page.
