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.

We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner with friends before a show. It was fun watching the chef do his thing on the open fire right there among the diners and the food was good across the board. It’s a limited menu but honestly enough choices for everyone to choose items they wanted. We ate tapas style. The crab was amazing by the way (be ready for a mess). Service was wee bit slow but hey, you’re meant to enjoy and they responded quickly when we said we needed to get going.

Great experience. Did the tasting menu and almost everything was a hit. I would probably not order the pollo en chicha again in the future. Good sauce, but chicken thigh and legs needed to be cooked more. the lengua pupusa was amazing. The salvi side plate was so flavorful and delicious. The yuca was amazing! Really loved pretty much everything.

Oh, My! We were introduced to this restaurant by the person who requested it to celebrate her birthday. The food was outstanding. If you enjoy pork chops, this is the place. I had the noodles which were “chow main” el Salvadoran style. When I return, I’m having them again. The white wine from Mendoza was the perfect way to start, while friends had cocktails. We celebrated at the end with their desserts and complimentary dessert drinks. Popoca could not be more welcoming. Such a cozy comfortable spot to enjoy good food and drinks.

We waited at the bar while our friends came since they were late for our ressies but we enjoyed cocktails that were tasty. I had the ahumarindo which is basically a tamarind margarita. It was so good everyone else ordered it as their second drink. Their pupusas are delicious, we also had the carne asada, crab, apple salad and guacamole. Everything tasty and well presented. We left stuffed and happy. For dessert we had the dessert cake that was like a cheese quesadilla, I didn't taste that cause I can't have gluten but it was gone quickly so clearly good. I did enjoy the sipping chocolate with the chain spices even though it would of been nice if it was a thicker consistency. But that's my personal preference. It was more like spiced cacao water, delicious flavor but I think of sipping chocolate being more creamy.

The food and the spot far exceeded our expectations! Unassuming on the website, but inviting and very interesting compositions: the fried chicken wind was off the charts (app), as was the plum and pumpkin seed app...absolutely delicious! One miss were the popusas...too greasy for my taste. The apple and celery salad was a perfect finish. The hood here was a discovery for us...definately happening and safe! We went to a concert at the Paramount about a mile away and were really happy we came here. We will return!

Such a beautiful space and delicious place. Favorites are the salvi side plate and the friend chicken. Have now been three times and can’t wait to go back!
