Del Real Foods’ Birria & Cheese Mini Pupusas Named a Winner in Progressive Grocer’s 2024 Editors’ Picks Awards

Del Real Foods, a bold innovator in the Hispanic fresh foods space, has been named a winner in Progressive Grocer’s 2024 Editors’ Picks Awards for its Birria & Cheese Mini Pupusas. Unlike other pupusas in the market that are frozen, Del Real Food’s Pupusas are refrigerated for a ready-to-eat meal or snack. They are made with fresh, premium ingredients and are available at Target for $8.99.

Progressive Grocer’s Editors’ Picks Awards celebrates grocery products that excel in innovation, functionality, value and packaging design. As consumer preferences have continued to shift towards global flavors and convenience, the Birria & Cheese Mini Pupusas have been recognized for their delicious flavor, simplicity and quality of ingredients, driving the category forward through innovation.

These Birria & Cheese Mini Pupusas offer a quick and flavorful meal ready in minutes. Made with tender, slow-cooked beef birria and melty mozzarella cheese, all wrapped in corn masa, these gluten-free pupusas bring the bold and vibrant flavors of Latin cuisine to your table in a convenient, heat-and-eat format — perfect for busy families and individuals. Ready to eat in just three minutes, they can be enjoyed in various ways, whether topped with guacamole, salsa, curtido (a traditional Hispanic coleslaw) or simply on their own.

“We are incredibly honored to receive this recognition from Progressive Grocer for our Birria & Cheese Mini Pupusas,” said Daniela Simpson, CMO of Del Real Foods. “As the leader in the pupusa category, making up 90 percent of total category sales, this award win further solidifies our commitment to delivering high-quality and convenient meal solutions.”
