"Until BLVD MRKT opened in 2021, Vchos co-owner Wendy Centeno ran her pupusas business from a popular food truck — where she became known for her pupusas, caramelized sweet plantains, and plant-based gluten-free empanadas. Centeno is one of Los Angeles’s most intrepid Salvadoran chefs and still operates her food truck as well as a roomier stall in the Montebello food hall. Grab a box of pupusas, served with crunchy curtido and a just-acidic-enough red salsa; a picnic table on the sunny patio; and enjoy." - Nicole Adlman
