00:00
Hey guys, we are out here at La Pusa Urban eatery
00:03
in downtown L A and we're so excited to try the famous
00:10
What's that? It is a giant pusa pizza brother.
00:14
It's a P pizza pizza,
00:16
pizza. Well, that's what I call it,
00:17
but I'm gonna try it.
00:19
Can we get in there?
00:20
Because I'm starving, dude.
00:21
Me too. And it's freaking hot.
00:22
Let's go. Let's get in there ladies first.
00:36
So we sell Amata and then what did you want to drink
00:39
again? No, no ambassador.
00:53
Self appointed Salvadorian culture ambassador.
00:55
Very important. So this is your first time here?
00:58
All right, I got you.
01:05
So like like the biggest pupusa you've ever seen in your life
01:16
we're gonna have to order La Mexicana.
01:18
Those are Mexican pupusas.
01:19
There's a Mexican pupusa only here,
01:23
I love that. So we wanted to also talk about the
01:27
fact that what is it with the beef with Mexican Salvadorians?
01:31
I don't understand that.
01:33
So I grew up with the beef.
01:34
I was bullied in school like,
01:38
they would get mad that I don't want to say I was
01:40
Mexican. Are you serious?
01:41
You're Mexican, you're Chicano Homes.
01:43
I'm like Mexican American.
01:47
I think it's generational.
01:49
I think like Salvadorenos,
01:50
we came here during the eighties,
01:52
right? So like my parents were fleeing the civil war and
01:56
so they had to go through Mexico and come here to the
01:59
US. And I think that influx of Salvadorenos,
02:03
you know, caused tension,
02:04
obviously, the gangs and all that stuff that hate came from
02:08
back to that gang mentality.
02:12
But now the newer generation doesn't even know about it,
02:14
right? Yeah. So it's like,
02:17
what is this? What are you talking about?
02:20
And so it's crazy to me how far we've come as a
02:24
I would say we're in the Salvi Renaissance because it's a shift
02:28
right? There was never Salvadoran heritage nights at any sports team
02:33
Sam, it's li I went crazy.
02:36
I didn't grow up with that stuff.
02:38
When I started comedy.
02:39
There was no other big Salvadoran comedian,
02:42
you know, was there an American comedian for me to say
02:44
oh, I want to be like that guy.
02:46
So now you see all this,
02:48
you see this culture pride,
02:49
you see the young generation embracing it and loving it.
02:54
let's go that we should embrace each other in our differences instead
03:01
of hating on each other.
03:04
Well, we have a lot of stuff to bring to the
03:05
table, all of us and speaking of which we should bring
03:10
What? Let's go get our food.
03:12
Let's order it. I can kill a,
03:16
we gotta have the pus and outside the box and since they're
03:28
How big is this thing like this?
03:30
I love New York size pizzas.
03:31
It's a New York size pizza.
03:33
It's 18 inches in me.
03:36
I, ok. So what we wait for the food,
03:43
We should play a little game.
03:44
So I brought like these little flags.
03:47
So I'm gonna say like a few quick scenarios and you're gonna
03:52
say, say if it's like a green flag or red flag
03:58
No pressure, no pressure at all.
04:00
She doesn't like Curtido red flag.
04:04
Ok. How about someone that works out with?
04:06
No headphones. A little off.
04:13
Yeah. Yeah. Its her pupusa with a fork and a
04:19
knife. Oh, that's a red flag.
04:22
Really? Why do Salvadorans not like that?
04:25
All right. So I'll tell you,
04:27
I wanna know you can eat your pusa however you want fork
04:31
no, fork chopsticks,
04:32
whatever it is. But if you go into a Salvadoran household
04:35
just be prepared to get roasted.
04:39
Oh, snap. There she is there she is.
04:47
Oh my God. Inches of pusa.
04:50
Goodness. OK. Let's begin.
04:58
I have not and she is beautiful.
05:00
It's delicious. This is so good.
05:03
You can tell that they made this with love.
05:05
They like blue kisses on it or something.
05:07
I love the, the little,
05:09
the little cheese. That's all freaking querio at the end.
05:12
The cheese crust. What's that called?
05:19
I love when the cheese is just melted outside of the pupusa
05:22
just burnt. I wanna try this one.
05:24
This one is that one?
05:25
Seen the video but I haven't tried it so good.
05:28
And I love, I love Korean food.
05:42
I love like how Mexicans and Salvadorians just come together.
05:45
It's beautiful. There is no beef,
05:47
there's no beef, there's pork,
05:49
there's pork. Thank you so much.
05:53
People will follow you and you know,
05:54

05:56

05:58

06:10
So let's continue eating because everything's getting cold,
06:13

06:16
It's a drink. It's a drink,
06:23
Oh, a little Mexican ass.
06:36
I just feel weird eating in front of all these cameras.
06:39
Yeah. Yeah. Let's get in there.
