pupusas

The iconic Salvadoran food item — your mom’s pupusas!

Where to get pupusas in Koreatown? At many places! This is because of the numerous immigrants from El Salvador who live within Koreatown. Next to Mexicans, Salvadorans are probably the next largest contingent of Latin Americans in the area.
