"Sarita’s Pupuseria, which was made famous in the movie La La Land, is one of the earliest Salvadoran restaurants in Los Angeles. El Salvador native Sara Clark opened the restaurant inside Grand Central Market in 1998 when Salvadoran dishes were less widespread in the city. It’s still family-owned and operated by Clark, Paul Serrano, and Paul Serrano Jr., who prepare the specialty of the house: pupusas. The masa discs are stuffed with everything delicious including cheese and beans, chicharron, and the herby loroco flower. Sarita’s griddled pupusas bear a slight crunch, though wait until the heat mellows before taking a bite. — Mona Holmes, reporter" - Eater Staff
