Love this spot. Great papusas and large portions. Authentic Latino food spot so don't come in here looking for none of that fusion shit.

Pupusas!! It's difficult to find pupusas in Manhattan. This place was the easiest to reach from Manhattan for pupusas. They have tons of variety of pupusas... the curtido is great. The cabbage in one little bowl and the sauce on another. Perfect. They came out hot. They didn't taste like they came from a market. Rather, they tasted home-made. Soft and slightly crunchy. Plenty of flavor. They are quite big too. The filling is plentiful as well. At $3 each, it's a great lunch. Service was good. The timing was about right. The place also looks nice. It's a bit like a saloon. Lots of wood. Very comfortable. I will come again. read more

Bahia Restaurant - Pupusas! - Salvadoran Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I usually order for delivery. But decided to dine in this time. The food served here hits on a certain level. Their Chicken soup has medicinal properties to it. You could make your own version at home for sure, or find something similar at any other resto but... The food reaches out to my soul and i am not even Hispanic/Latino! All things aside, one of my favorite spots in the neighborhood. read more

Bahia Restaurant - Chuletas al Sarten - Salvadoran Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I find people tend to either hate or love pupusas, but if you do enjoy them, Bahia's rendition will certainly satisfy you. I had worked up an appetite so had the opportunity to try 3 varieties, including one with loroco, one with zucchini, and one with beans and cheese. As usual, the loroco - that elusive flower which I have never encountered other than on a pupusa menu - was the definite winner, especially when drowned in a combo of the mild salsa and curtido (a bit like coleslaw) served alongside. We also shared the plantains which came paired with a decadent cream that really made this appetizer fantastic. read more

The weather was in the high 70s today. My commute from Queens to Brooklyn was an hour and 40 minutes. Bahia Restaurant was within walking distance from the Grand Street subway station. Luckily, I made a reservation yesterday. I met up with my date for an early dinner before my metalcore show tonight. Drinks Limonada - refreshingly delicious Tamarindo - sweet and tangy Food *sharing is caring* Pupusas Locas - One pupusa stuffed with everything. This was my favorite pupusa. Revueltas - delicious Ayote y Queso - delicious Side Orders Yuca Frita - crispy and yummy Chicharrón de Pollo - The fried chicken was too dried. I am not a fan. Bookmark this spot to try! read more

Good food for the price. If you're looking for spicy, you've come to the wrong place. But they have a good tostada and a good fajita wrap that tastes more like a Philly sandwich served with french fries. Not what I expected, but enjoyable. read more

Came for the pupusas and was not disappointed. Such large pupusas that I struggled to finish but fear not, I managed to eat them all! Got the loroco, jalapeño, and frijoles. Their curtido was good enough to eat by itself! Portions are huge too. I'll be back and bringing my friends! read more

I was exploring the area and stumbled upon this little gem! I've never had Salvadorian before and this place seems like a local mom and pop shop. There is plenty of seating on the inside and we did not have to wait to be seated. The woman who served us was extremely friendly and let us know that the back of the menu has explanations of the main dishes. I got a chicken and cheese pupusa, the horchata and an el campesino. The pupusa was delicious! We were told pupusas are to Salvadorians what tacos are to Mexicans and what hamburgers are to Americans. They come served with pickled veggies and a tomato sauce - it was delicious! They also had a nice crisp to them. Next time I'm back I will have to try the other flavors. The campesino steak was a little salty, but I think for the portion it is definitely worth it. I took leftovers home and ate it for lunch the next day and it was still good. The horchata also was great too, super flavorful and you could taste all the spices. read more

Had the Pupusas Revueltas and they were so good! They were definitely fresh and were so hot when we picked them up. Couldn't taste much of the pork in the revueltas, tasted mainly like the beans and cheese but honestly they were so good we didn't even care. The Chinola juice is also great! Perfect balance of Sweet and sour/tart. Definitely ordering again! read more

I think this place is underrated. The menu is a bit random but I get the impression if you stick to the Salvadoran food, you won't miss. I can really only speak to the pupusas. Full disclosure I am white. I used to love a pupusa spot in SF and crave them often but had a hard time finding them in nyc. Lucky me I now live close to Bahia! Every time I've been they are super friendly, the pupusas are piping hot and delicious, and I love the curtido on the side! Also HIGHLY recommend the "melon drink". It's cantaloupe juice and I don't even generally like cantaloupe but it's soo good and refreshing. And only $4.50 which would definitely be at least $7 elsewhere. Anyways great spot, deserving of your business. read more

I have been absolutely craving pupusas and made the trek to come here. It was packed at 4 pm on a Saturday, but we were seated right away. Pupusas were amazing (bean and cheese and pork/bean/cheese) and truly I have never had refried beans better than here. I got the plátanos with beans and literally I cannot remember that last time I ate something so delicious. I'll be thinking about those beans for a lifetime aka until the next time I visit. Which will be soon. read more

I have yet to dine in but one day i will! I usually place phone orders for pick up. I have tried every single one of their pupusas and favorite ones are chicken and cheese, zucchini and cheese, and pork and cheese! The ambiance is cozy and warm! A party of two or more can sit inside! One of my favorite restaurants! read more

Delicious papusas at a great price. The corn cake had a great texture and the filling was spiced well and generous.

Decided to try the fried porgy this time! I always get the crema de mariscos and it's definitely a fave! My husband stuck with his usual while I tried this culinary delight! read more

I really enjoyed the pupusas here. I got the bean and cheese, jalapeño and cheese, and wildflower and cheese. They were clearly made to order, the char was spectacular... the fillings were all quite good, although I wish there was some more spices in the actual filling. Not too big of a deal though, as the acidic slaw and spicy hot sauce helped make up the flavor and then some! They're super busy, so expect to wait, but I'd come back for sure. read more

Bahia Restaurant - Salvadoran Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

The best pupusas (we got cheese and revueltas) that we've had in a LOOOONNNG time. I bought some for a friend from El Salvador and she was in heaven. Parking is tough and there is a bike lane right out front. The restaurant is tidy with simple, timely furniture and decor. They had every other table closed off to meet COVID-19 physical distance requirements. The restaurant was almost at capacity for lunch. The customer service with my specific requests was impeccable. read more

Decided on eating at Bahia and it was a great choice!! Food was excellent the skirt steak was so good my hat goes off to the chef!! My server Flor was so awesome. authentic cuisine.

First time Eating here and I am 100% satisfied with the food, the staff are super sweet and attentive to their customers. I recommend this place to anyone thinking about eating here. I ordered the skirt steak and it was very good. I wanted to try the pupusas, but i was staying away from the carbs.

This review is based on the way they deliver food. This is how the food came. Only one parchment paper between 9 pupusas. No reason why you should throw 9 hot pupusas together knowing full well they are going to stick together and break apart when you try and seperate them. Horrible. First and last time will be ordering from here. read more

Love their pupusas and the parillada de mariscos. Their food prices are reasonable and delivery service is good.

Great quality pupusas, chicharron, yuca, etc. Really nice people working there and the other patrons tend to be friendly, likable people as well Excellent value for the $ My only criticism ... the refritos should be done salvadoreno/guatemalteco style, not Mexican read more

Have been looking for an opportunity to try papusas in NYC for a while after I had them in Central America. Super filling, super cheap. I got the chicken/cheese, chicharron/cheese, and the loroco/cheese. My favorite was surprisingly the lorocos/cheese. Meat was a little dry but the red sauce and cheese helped. The horchatta was super flavorful and would def recommend that. Only reason for 4 stars was the seating area was kind of cramped, like whenever anyone walked behind me there wasn't enough room so I was moving my chair a decent amount. read more

First time at this restaurant and we were very happy. It was a rainy Sunday night and I wanted some good hearty soup. This was the right place! The seafood soup was very fresh and tasty. Its been hours since dinner and I'm not thirsty! I will definitely try all the soups in the future. Steak rice was good, I was happy the skirt steak wasn't super chewy. Came with rice & veggys. Corn was sweet but I wasn't a fan of the mayo and mustard on it. Prices are reasonable. We will definitely be back! read more

Bahia was an excellent find for dinner - we were the only non South Americans eating there, which in my book is how I can tell that a place is authentic and delicious. And Bahia did not disappoint in any way. In the back of their menu, they had explanations of certain South American specialties including the drink horchata, made with ground almonds, sesame seeds and rice. Also listed was a drink made with a fruit called maranon, that was sweet with flavors of citrus, Apple but also green pepper. We tried both traditional drinks and they were great. For appetizers, we had wonderful Salvadorian papusas ($2 each! So cheap!), one filled with cheese and a unique wild flower and herb called loroco and the other filled with pork, refried beans and cheese. I had never had a papusa before and WOW these were delicious. Straight out of the oven, the filings were perfectly gooey and melted in the dough pocket. Served with fantastic tomato sauce and pickled cabbage on the side. For entrees, we had the shrimp in spicy sauce served with rice and beans ($15) and the campesino ($18), which was steak with a rice and bean mixture, two pieces of fried bread, sliced avocado and Salvadorian cheese. Huge portions and everything was absolutely delicious. We had no room for dessert. Restaurant is low key and service is good and fast. Can't wait to come back and bring all my friends to try papusas. read more

Forgot to leave a review and take pictures the day of because I was so hungry! I ordered 4 pupusas of chicharrón with cheese , they were good, not great. They lacked chícharon, tasted like cheese alone. The repollo was good but nothing out of the ordinary. The everything pupusas were also not so amazing. read more

I never had Salvadoran food before this year, so when I got to Bahia I really did not know what to expect. Besides being so so so affordable, this restaurant is close to the L and G train, has a multitude of options (Salvadoran, American, and Italian) on the menu, and is great for a date or a group dinner or eating alone! The place itself is huge with lots of seating, I have come here twice so far (it was so good, I HAD to go back) and was seated in a matter of seconds. Now if you're like me, Savldoran food was definitely different. It has a lot of vegetarian options thankfuly, but it requires a different set of taste buds, especially when eating a pupusa. I ordered a cheese pupusa, a thick flatbread with cheese and other fillings inside. You eat the pupusa, ideally with your hands, with curtido (which is fermented cabbage relish) and tomato salsa, as you can see in my photo. Eating pupusas reminded me a lot of Indian food because I was able to eat it with my hand and enjoy my meal even more. We also got platanos which were served with a creamy sour cream sauce, elote (which had mustard on it), and horchata. At first, the horchata was watered down, however, after letting the waiter know, he exchanged both our horchatas and made it even better. I was at Bahia for close to 2 hours and I never felt rushed to leave. I felt welcomed and happy to be there in the restaurant's atmosphere. Can't wait to go again! read more

I'm surprised this establishment only has 4 stars. Not only is their food amazing, but their service is A+. I have been coming to this place for about 12 years now and I have never been disappointed. I always order their chicharron y queso pupusas. If you have t tried them then you're missing out in life. read more

If you never heard of or tried pupusas, don't be discourage. I recently just discovered this amazing Salvadoran dish and I'm hooked! I mean who's wouldn't like a thick corn tortilla stuffed with a savory filling like cheese and meats. Food : Being my first time I only stuck to pupusas. I had the cheese, chicken + cheese, and chicharron. All three were so flavorful and not at all greesy, which I find makes them taste better. Must Try : The pupusas here are amazing and a must try. Service : Quick and friendly service. The waitress took our order right away and was ready to get us any beverages we needed. Price : At $2.50 a pupusas, I would say you're balling with 20 bucks lol read more
