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.

    Really nice experience having an early dinner here. The duck and risotto dish was delicious, and a prawn appetizer was enough for an entree, Very nice service, and the room was quiet enough that we could easily hear each other and enjoy our conversation.

    We arrive w a Rez right at opening time 11:30a for our group of 7. They sat us in a beautiful corner table. Service was great, just enough attention. Our group order pizzas and salads to share along with a bottle of perseco to celebrate our reunion of friends. Fried calamari for appetizer was good but fried enough that I thought they were chicharones. The waitstaff was welcoming and friendly. This was a perfect spot for us.

    We were a large group in the back room so it was quieter and like a private room which was nice. It gets warm back there so mark down for that, but you can ask to open the back door. Service and food excellent we tried almost everything since we had a large group and shared.
