"There’s a growing number of venues that explore Central and South American cuisines in Sydney, from just-opened Folklor (which channels the Chinese-inspired food of Peru) to long-running institutions such as La Paula in Fairfield, famous for its Chilean hot dogs and sweets.

He eventually was honored by the Salvadoran embassy for his work and opened a permanent Raza Central shop on the outskirts of Sydney in 2021. His signature pupusas — pocket-sized tortillas stuffed with beans, cheese, or pork — have that straight-off-the-grill appeal and get extra zip and punch from salsa and curtido (fermented cabbage)." - Lee Tran Lam
