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 broth was pretty good. The amount of food was more than I expected, they give you good portion amounts and lots of meat in their PHO. After I ordered, the food was delivered within 10 mins, very quick. I sat at the bar, not the most comfortable since there is very little leg room but it was fine since I wasn’t there long.
