Pupusas History 
Pupusas are from El Salvador, and were first eaten by the Natives there almost three millennum ago (3,000 years). Cooking implements for their preparation have been found in Joya de Ceren and other archeological sites. A common Salvadoran dish, are available outside the country wherever a community of Salvadoran immigrants is to be found. 
In the United States, immigrants have brought the dish to Northern California (the San Francisco Bay Area), Central California, Southern California, Virginia, Washington D.C. The Chicago area, the Houston area, and other locations, where there are now many pupuserías (a place where pupusas are sold). 
In Canada, pupuserias may be found in South-Western Ontario, Montreal and Quebec. Both at home and abroad, pupusas are now traditionally served 
with curtido (a pickled cabbage relish, coleslaw , possibly containing hot peppers) and tomato sauce, and are traditionally eaten with the fingers. 
A popular variant of the pupusa in El Salvador is the pupusa de arroz. Rice flour is used to make the masa, as the name indicates, and they are usually stuffed only with beans and cheese. 
They hail from the town of Olocuilta, located to the east of San Salvador, 
but are now readily available throughout the country. 
Pupusas made in the United States are typically made with Maseca (brand name of a popular commercial corn flour-masa mix) instead of home made corn. Some high-end pupuserías in the United States use rice flour and make low-carbohydrate versions with wheat flour. A Mexican dish that is similar to the pupusa is called a gordita (literally, "the little fat one"), but gorditas are usually open at one end. In Venezuela they make arepas (where the dough is cooked first, and then sliced in half and stuffed somewhat like a hamburger). Colombia has its own recipe of arepas, but, unlike Venezuelan, Colombian arepas are usually eaten without filling, or the filling is placed inside the dough before cooking. Pupusas are also found in neighboring Central American countries as far west as Quetzaltenango, Guatemala, and are also part of Honduran cuisine. They are not as traditional as in El Salvador, yet they are a common part of Honduran dishes. Some say they were brought from El Salvador by Salvadorans migrating to Honduras; In El Salvador, an official holiday Día Nacional de la Pupusa, "National Pupusa Day", is celebrated on November 13.
