Popoca is a Salvadoran-inspired restaurant in the heart of Oakland. Popoca means “to emit smoke” in Nawat, the language of native people of El Salvador who stoked wood fires to prepare food over a comal for their families. Revered as more than just a means of cooking, smoke represents a prayer or offering to the spirits.Popoca is a mix of heritage and play. Our food is driven by preserving past, creating something new and uniquely Oakland. After years of pop-ups, Popoca has its own digs in the Old Oakland neighborhood, where the pupusas, chicken with fermented pineapple sauce, and other Cali-Salvadoran specialties are happily devoured.

    The food, overall, was fresh and delicious. The chicken wings were delectable, the pupusas were authentic and flavorful, and the asparagus was fresh and a nice counterpoint to the heavier dishes. The manzanilla cocktail was very unusual and fabulous. The service was friendly, efficient and helpful. We appreciated that our server brought the dishes out separately and not all at the same time.

    Thank you for the years of great food and fun! My wife and I had our wedding reception at El Techo as it has always been one of our favorites. You will be very missed in the neighborhood and we look forward to what you do next!
