Cocina Calle is literally a dream come true. Alex always wanted to open his own business. Zack traveled to El Salvador and fell in love with the cuisine. Being friends for years, our dream came together quickly. We came up with the idea of Cocina Calle and ran.
We’re so excited to bring our flair of the traditional pupusa to the Richmond area!
Cocina Calle brings the flavors of El Salvador to the Richmond, Virginia area! Enjoy pupusas and yucca tots, as well as favorites like chips, salsa and queso.
All pupusas served with curtido and mild, medium or hot salsa.
