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.

    Bocannova is very upbeat, beautifully designed, with great, unique food. I especially loved their Mexican Caesar Salad with shrimp and with fresh oysters as an appetizer. They play very festive Latin American music, but not too loud

    Popoca is always fantastic. Last nights seasonal menu included cured anchovies, green garlic pupusas, strawberry/celery salad, and tres leches! There were four of us, and we ordered most of the menu. I always order a sweet potato stuffed tamal to take home because it’s perfect steamed for breakfast the next day. If you’re looking for a locally owned small biz that serves amazing food, has great service, and a super fun but chill vibe - come to Popoca.
