Get ready to embark on another mouthwatering journey as we dive headfirst into the vibrant world of El Salvadorian cuisine right here in the heart of the San Fernando Valley. Today Scott Himelstein is stepping into the flavorful haven that is La Sabrosa Sweets in Reseda.
I’m beyond excited to introduce you to Maria, who co-owns this great spot along with her sister. As we chat with her, you’ll discover the incredible story of how La Sabrosa Sweets came to be. Can you believe it all started from the cozy confines of home during the pandemic? From delivering delectable delights to friends and family, they’ve now blossomed into a full-blown restaurant. Talk about turning challenges into opportunities!
While sweets and desserts were their starting point, La Sabrosa Sweets is all about embracing the full spectrum of Salvadorian flavors. Picture this: breakfast delights that’ll have your taste buds dancing, hearty soups that warm your soul, and savory dishes that make lunch and dinner experiences truly unforgettable. And oh, did I mention the sweets?
Now, let’s get to the star of the show – the pupusa! If you’re not in the know, a pupusa is a traditional Salvadoran dish that’s essentially a flavor-packed tortilla filled with your choice of ingredients. The classics are a match made in heaven – beans and cheese! La Sabrosa Sweets takes it to the next level with combinations like cheese and veggies or cheese and meat. Oh, and get ready for exotic flavors that’ll send your senses on a tantalizing journey.
Hold onto your taste buds because there’s more! La Sabrosa Sweets has cooked up a surprise that’s as big as your appetite. Meet the Pupusa Loca, affectionately known as the Monster Pupusa. It’s a whopping 10 inches of pure deliciousness, akin to a pizza-sized pupusa. You can slice it up like a pro or devour it as is – the choice is yours! And the crowd favorite? The Hot Cheeto Pupusa. Yes, you read that right. Crunchy, spicy, and utterly irresistible. Now, let’s not forget the spice enthusiasts! If you’re like me and thrive on heat, the Asada and Jalapeno pupusa is your go-to. One bite and your taste buds will thank you, trust me. With over 50 pupusa varieties, you’re spoilt for choice – from traditional to adventurous, La Sabrosa Sweets has got it all.
And for the grand finale, the Pupusa Loca – a vegetarian delight bursting with flavors. Think cheese, squash, spinach, loroco, chipilin, garlic, serrano, zanahoria (fancy term for small carrots), and mushrooms. Lift it up, marvel at its grandeur, and dig in like there’s no tomorrow!
Hungry for a taste of Reseda’s finest? Don’t miss out on a visit to La Sabrosa Sweets, where pupusa dreams come true. You’ll find them nestled in a strip mall on Sherman Way, waiting to whisk you away on a gastronomic adventure. And here’s a little secret – they’ve got more than just pupusas. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and sweet treats await, all crafted with love and bursting with authentic flavors.
