Vallarta’s Original Soup Store
—
Our History
Super Sopa is the first and original soup-to- go or “sopa par llever” outlet in Puerto Vallarta. It is managed and run by the Covarrubias family. The space was originally mama and papa’s grocery store. Their grocery store – “The Store” was the first one on Basilio Badillo. They sold groceries and dispensed advice for 40 years until mama fell ill and papa retired at the age of 93.
The space was vacant for a number of years until their son Marcelo, owner of the restaurant “La Fonda”, came up with the idea of soup to go. Marcelo, and his partner, Lori, researched soup restaurants and designs in their travels. The name Souper Sopa came from their grand niece who for a long time called herself Super Chica! Planning started in June 2014 and the idea was to provide a healthy alternative to convenience store fast food and taco stands. After a few bumps on the road Super Sopa opened on December 23, 2014. It quickly became apparent that Tortilla soup was everyone’s favourite, so it became the signature soup and is on the menu and is served every day.
