Our Story
Our history and our famous recipe has its origin around the year of 1985.
​
Grandma Heriberta, "Doña Bertha", relocated from Monterrey, MX to Chicago, USA for a period of her life, it was in Chicago where she had the fortune of befriending a Salvadorian neighbor who taught her how to cook Salvadorian pupusas.
​
Throughout the years, grandma Bertha added her special touch to the recipe and taught her daughters how to cook pupusas her special way.
​
Ten years later, in 1995, Las Pupusas del Itacate was founded, in the Ribereña neighborhood, in Reynosa, Tamaulipas by one of her daughters.
Twenty-two years after its foundation, and thanks to the love and loyalty of our customers, "Las Pupusas del Itacate" starts to serve its menu to the RGV community with a location in Pharr TX and our newest location in the city of McAllen TX, now under the name "El ITACATE".
