Salvadoran

Salvadoran establishments in Koreatown… not to be mistaken for Mexican or Guatemalan or Honduran.

Koreatown LA has a significant population of immigrants from the country of El Salvador.

For some reason, the English speakers of Salvaoran heritage tend to refer to themselves in English as “Salvadorean” instead of “Salvadoran.”
