Salvadoran Pupusas at Olocuilta Pupusería in Koreatown LA
I think this place used to be called Pupusería La Sierra. Anyway, this part of Koreatown (Western Avenue corner 6th Street) is all about El Salvador. If there’s a World Cup soccer / football qualifying match in which the Salvadoran team is playing, you can bet the whole neighborhood is watching and screaming their lungs out.
Olocuilta is the name of a town in El Salvador known for rice-flour pupusas (pupusas de arroz). The more common pupusas are made from corn meal (the dough is called masa de maíz). This eatery sells pupusas de arroz for $2.50.
