I love ordering pupusas here. They have the steamiest ones I've ever had, which is how I love to eat them. I always order mixtas and the cheese ones because of how stringy it gets when you first bite into one. I don't usually have anything with my pupusas but their sauce is so tasty that I can't help but try it every time I visit. The staff there are super helpful and friendly as well. I usually order my food to go but the ambiance is super chill. read more

This place was nice. I went with my family after another event and were seated quickly. There werent a lot of people which was nice thag it wasnt full. The waitress took our drink order pretty quick. I ordered an horchata and it was ok. It felt very powdery but the taste was spot on. I didnt order much as i wasnt too hungry but i got a pork chicharrón with tostones. The food was goo but it did take a while for it to come to the table. The service could have been a bit better. The waitress did take her time coming to the table. It wasnt bad since the place was a little slow but i would return to eat here again. read more

I'm not a big fan of their rice and beans, it's kinda of bland to me. However, I mixed it with my shrimp and garlic sauce and I loved it! For me it was pretty filling I couldn't finish it, so I took the rest to go. I like how there fried cheese is not too salty. In my opinion it goes better without the ketchup. read more

This is my favorite restaurant in the neighborhood! I went here constantly during the immediate pandemic and greatly enjoyed the outdoor dining. Pupusas are the greatest food on Earth, service is friendly, and the sangria is tasty. You can get two substantial pupusas for less than $7, and they also have tamales! Their steak and onions is also excellent. I also love their plantains with sour cream. Thank you, El Continental! read more

Came in and was seated quickly which is definitely a plus. Ordered a shrimp cocktail, steak and beans. The steak and beans were good. The steak was a decent size and well seasoned. The rice and beans were good. Where I take away points is in two places. The shrimp cocktail wasn't very good, the sauce was a little bland and the shrimp wasn't as chilled as it should be. The other point is it was cold in the restaurant. It feels as if the windows and door aren't well shut or insulated letting the cold and in and making the food get colder faster. All in all I will go back when it is warmer. read more

Upon first walking in, you won't expect much from Continental but don't let their lack of decór fool you. Their Salvadorean cuisine is mouthwatering good. I always get the same thing when I come partly because because I am a creature of habit and partly because if something is this good, why change it? I'd recommend ordering two pupusas: una revuelta (1 mixed) y una con queso (and 1 with cheese). Pupusas are lightly pan fried, corn or rice flour based tortilla patties stuffed with meat and cheese, pork and beans or just cheese. This dish comes with a side of shredded cabbage in a homemade vinegar & lime dressing. So. Effing. Good. Then I would recommend an order of Tamales de Elote. There are two in one order and perfect for sharing. This is a corn based, buttery tamale served with cream on the side that has a slightly sweet taste to it. It's very soft and buttery to the taste. This could probably also be eaten as a dessert but it complements the flavor of the pupusa and cabbage salad so well. To drink, I would order one of their traditional beverages like Horchata (cocoa flavored, slightly milky drink) or Tamarindo (beverage made from Tamarind). Their milkshakes are also incredibly flavorful and delicious. iBuén provecho! read more

Two stars just for the tasty pupusas. The service wasn't great, the slaw was brought out by itself and we were just looking at it wondering what to do with it since no plates or explanation came with it. About 10 minutes later we got our cheese pupusas and the pork ones, both were delicious and were made better by the slaw. When our meals were brought out, my maduros were on my friend's plate, her tostones were on my plate. Instead of fixing it before she brought it out or bringing us an extra plate to make it easier for us to switch, the server mentioned that they were on the wrong plates and that was it. My salmon was just okay, my friend ordered carne guisado and got a cheap steak, nothing at all like the stewed meat she was expecting. I'd go back if I was in the area and only order pupusas. read more

It has a long menu of items you can find elsewhere like fried chops, but I thought pupusas might be more site-specific. I got the mixed version - pork, cheese and beans, I believe. It was fine on its own but even better when topped with pickled cabbage and red and green sauces. The shrimp ceviche had a good, tomato-oriented base, although I would have preferred whole shrimp over chopped. read more

A-OK is not a bad review in my book. I am not a Salvadoran cuisine connoisseur. I've had a few papusas in my day, but otherwise, I do not know what dishes are traditional for Salvadoran cooking. That being said, perhaps if I did, I'd have a better understanding of how to navigate this menu which was a mix of American standards and what, I'm guessing, are more Salvadoran dishes. My dining partner ordered the red snapper and he loved it. It came out whole and fried. He loved how crunchy the outside skin was. My meal of shrimp was less memorable. If the diner had been a traditional American fare only diner, I would never have ordered shrimp; however, I thought that it might be worth the risk since it was Salvadoran. Nope. The moral of the story? Ask the server what he/she recommends or what they are known for if you do dine there. read more

Had a nice drunken meal here. I don't know what pupusas are so I didn't have that insight (next time, though) but my food was pretty good. I ordered the BBQ chicken platter with rice and beans. The chicken was huge and the sauce was pretty good. I would have liked the rice and beans to have been a bit better but it was nothing hot sauce couldn't save. Service was really good and the prices are fair. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here but as I live less than a block away, this is a good protein rich option to consider.

I'm not an expert on el Salvadoran food, except for my friend's homemade pupusas and tamales from her mom. She took me here and said it was the next best thing, she was right! I love pupusas and tamales. I had the cheese and vegetable pupusas, one of the sauces on the side was definitely too spicy for me but the other one was milder and more flavorful to my liking. I also got tamales, it comes with two per order and they were big. Much bigger than some of the ones I've had from some taco joints. It was weird because i got chicken ones, they both had chicken filling but.. they weren't the same. My friend was assuming they were probably wrapped at different times by different people? All in all, well worth the money for their portions. I will be back to have more pupusas. read more

It's a cozy space just a block from the N/Broadway stop & in the heart of a busy few blocks with a lot of restaurant, cafe, bar, & grocery options. Sometimes I forget about this spot because it's just off the avenue, but it's worth a visit! Have dined in (outdoor seating during the summer) & ordered take-out (placed in-person) before. Usual order are Pupusas (chicharron & loroco + cheese - a tasty herb, like little buds that taste basil/oregano-like), Mojito, Pomegranate juice, Marañon juice (cashew apple fruit - like apple + pineapple). Everything was tasty, fresh & well made. The red sauce (bits of oregano) & curtido (pickled cabbage & carrots, a few chilies) with the pupusas are a must! But 3 Stars for a recent delivery (Sunday evening), the quality of the pupusas weren't great (thick), the Elote Tamale (sweet corn tamale with sour cream) was soggy & tasted tinny. Not sure if it was from the foil and/or it had a leak when it was being boiled. Maybe this item isn't ordered often. Good leak-free packaging for the delivery though - lots of tape! 5 Stars for the female UberEats worker who delivered by bike (in December)! I'll stick to in-person ordering & pick-up (the pupusas take a little time to make, but worth it) & hopefully the quality improves. The service & staff has always been great and it's a cute restaurant for a date or even families!

Desperate for something to eat and nothing on 14th Ave we wandered over to 13th and stumbled upon a…read moregroup of several restaurants, not the healthiest of cuisines but appetizing enough, which was all we needed at 2pm on a chilly Sunday. We decided to try Morritos a small nondescript diner-like cafe with about five small square tables lined up against one wall and a long bar with stools opposite.which extended the length of the restaurant; a large El Salvadorian flag hanging in the front window. We sat at the bar and ordered three Papusas and a chicken tamale. Firstly the tamale was delicious, fresh, moist and chicken seasoned well with small olives and mild spices. it was a very pleasant surprise and we were glad we'd decided to try it, probably the best tamale I've had outside of Mexico (not that I've tried many here). We also ordered a Shrimp, Chicken and Spinach Papusa but they didn't have shrimp at the time so we opted for Cheese & Bean instead. The Papusas were made and cooked right in front of us (while sitting at the bar) they were fresh, soft in the center and slightly crispy on the bottom, flavors were simple, light and good. Not a huge amount of ingredients/filling but I imagine that's how they're meant to be and we were more than satisfied with our decision. Melted cheese oozing from the pancake like dough, small side of coleslaw and sauce for topping. Next time we'll ask for green chili sauce on the side too (noticed someone else order them as we were wrapping up). The ladies cooking and serving were efficient, sweet and prompt. It seemed only one woman spoke English and if you're in the mood for something simple and inexpensive give it a go. This place deserves 4 stars for all that it is.

This is arguably one of the worst experiences I've ever had a restaurant in New York City. As a…read morenative New Yorker I have gone to restaurants with every type of cuisine possible and I have never been treated in a disrespectful manner simply because I do not speak the native tongue. Not only was I ignored after multiple attempts to try to engage the servers but others who arrived after me were served immediately. This is shameful and unconscionable behavior in this day and age in a city such as ours. Needless to say I will never return to this establishment and I encourage anyone who reads this review to consider not going to this establishment either. Unfortunately Yelp does not give the option of zero stars as this restaurant certainly does not deserve the one star that appears next to this rating.

Just dry , no flavor and the most unappealing texture (think of dried out ground beef and just unsightly! ) . This was utterly inedible imo . The chicken taco was slightly better but felt somewhat dried out both the chicken and the shell . The best thing I had that I still didn't care for was their chicken burrito .They put alot of various things in the burrito including different peppers and sauces . It was scarce of chicken , somewhat spicy and felt like it was trying to do to much . It certainly didn't come together well especially with excessive salt and whatever sauces they added. Needless to say this restaurant was a major miss after having it screenshot for almost a year .
