About Sarita's Pupuseria

Sarita's Pupuseria, located in Grand Central Market, has been a popular spot for over 20 years and even made an appearance in La La Land. Known for their famous blue stools and counter, people come here for one reason - the pupusas. While there might be a wait, customers say it's worth it for the best pupusa they've ever had. Sarita's offers a variety of flavors, with the shrimp and chorizo being a favorite. Recent customers have enjoyed the carne asada, chicken, shrimp, and revueltas pupusas, all described as amazing. However, one reviewer found the carne asada pupusa to be "unfulfilling." Despite some complaints about service and prices being a little higher, Sarita's remains a great place for a quick and delicious bite, especially for fans of La La Land. The atmosphere may be loud, but the food is worth it.

Sarita's Pupuseria in Grand Central Market gets 3 stars from me.
I was really hoping for something special given the bustling market setting, but the pupusas were pretty mediocre. The flavor overall was just very average, and the ratio felt off—there was a lot of thick dough and not enough filling to balance it out. To make matters worse, they were really stingy with the curtido; there was definitely not enough of the pickled veggies to go around, which is essential for...read full review
Okay what can I say. 4 pupusas for $27. That is insanely expensive. And 100% not worth it.

I feel like it’s that expensive because the place was used in the filming of LALA Land and it’s inside the Grand Central Market.

I got 1 revuelta, 1 cheese & bean, 1 shrimp, & 1 broccoli. They didn’t separate them and the revuelta & bean and cheese looked similar. The shrimp was bland and hardly any shrimp it was also thicker than the others so the masa on...read full review
