Our Pupusas

About Us

Our Story

Buenos Días Pupusas is a Latino, family-owned business founded by the husband-and-wife team of Jeannette and Ken Katz. Rooted in Jeannette’s Salvadoran heritage and backed by over 40 years of combined hospitality experience, our journey began in 2012 serving the vibrant Georgia State University and downtown Atlanta communities.

While our roots will always be in the energy of downtown, we have evolved to meet the moment. Today, Buenos Días Pupusas has transitioned from a local cafe into a dedicated wholesale pupusa company. Embracing modern, automated production right here in Atlanta, we are scaling our reach to bring the freshest, most authentic Salvadoran flavors to plates all all over the region.

Our core values remain unchanged: FRESH food, NATURAL ingredients, MINIMAL waste, and a GENUINE commitment to our community.

Whether you are picking up your weekly local CSA farm box on a Thursday, joining us for a weekend guest chef popup, or grabbing a batch of your favorite frozen pupusas to stock up your home kitchen, you can always find us at our main neighborhood storefront and community ecosystem: La Bodega Market & Pupuseria in Sylvan Hills.

Atlanta Orders In: Buenos Dias Cafe owners offer a pupusa walk-up window

“In all honesty, it took us a while to really do it,” said Jeannette Katz, who grew up in the small El Salvador town of Santiago Texacuangos, but never truly mastered the art of shaping and cooking the iconic food. She did, however, inherit the family tendency to practice entrepreneurship, a trait that serves her well as a restaurateur who’s had to adapt her business to suit the times.

The couple started La Bodega as a pop-up in 2019, while running Buenos Dias Cafe, a Decatur Street breakfast and lunch spot whose tacos, Cubanos and quesadillas were popular with the Georgia State University and downtown communities. After the pandemic hit, the Katzes were forced to close 8-year-old Buenos Dias and focus on La Bodega.

The couple pivoted, opening up La Bodega in Atlanta’s Adair Park in June 2019, first as a pop-up before going full-time a year ago to serve pupusas, which are healthy Salvadoran corn-based flatbreads, filled with things like cheese and beans.
