Our Story

A Family Tradition
You Can Taste

Dona Cecy's Pupuseria brings the authentic flavors of El Salvador to Sterling, Virginia. Every pupusa is hand-pressed using a recipe passed down through generations — the same way Dona Cecy made them at home.

We believe that great food starts with respect for tradition. Our masa is prepared fresh daily, our curtido is tangy and crisp, and our tomato salsa is made with simple, quality ingredients. When you sit down at our table, you're not just getting a meal — you're becoming part of our family.
