El Salvador Corridor

Hailed by Eater as a “Central American culinary wonderland,” this short, bustling stretch of Salvadoran street food vendors outside Koreatown’s Two Guys Plaza can be found slinging all the manner of Salvadoran street food, sweets and groceries until around 5pm every day of the week. Sure, you’ll find the country’s iconic pupusas (savory filling-stuffed masa tortillas) topped with a refreshing pickled veggie slaw, but don’t stop there. Seafood cocktails made of blood clams and seasoned with chimol (Salvadoran pico de gallo) and Worcestershire sauce, quezadillas (a sweet cheese poundcake) and yuca con chicharrón (cassava fritters with fried pork skin) abound here, particularly on weekends, when the market is busiest. Bring cash, of course, to save any last-minute trips to the ATM.
