I am surprised Tipicos Olga was not on Yelp. After all, they are the 2012 award winner for the…read more'Fastest Pupusa' at the Festival de la Pupusa in New Jersey (generally a great El Savadorean street party with lots of food and music). This tiny restaurant, just off the Dunellen central business district, shines as an impeccably maintained star. The colors are the deep cobalt blue and white of the Salvadorean flag, painted neatly across everything, counter to tables, even to the outdoor café umbrellas. Olga and one or more assistants deliver on a satisfying menu of traditional Salvadorean dishes such as pupusas (stuffed corn cakes) and tamales, complemented with a good selection of meat, chicken and fish main dishes. Prices are reasonable and portions are generous. A lunch of Pupusas with a drink will cost about $5, and main dishes are slightly more. It's a great little place for breakfast or lunch.

So by no means am I an expert on Salvadorian food but I have had a few pupusas in my time. The…read moremoment you walk in you are greeted by a terrific Aroma. You can clearly see the women behind the counter preparing the pupusas live and freshly made to order. While the dough is lighter than it looks it still really really filling with great flavor. If I had to criticize anything is that they might use too much cheese but who doesn't like gooey cheese. Lol.

My pupusas filled with cheese beans and loroco were very filling and the calabacita platter was the same. I definitely preferred the taste of the pupusas as the calabacita needed a strong sauce for taste so I ended up using the red and green salsas from the pupusas. However, even though I marked for utensils the restaurant did not provide me any. I don't know if that was a glitch in communications between Uber Eats and the restaurant, but it made it a pain to go hunting for plastic silverware at a quiet hotel.

The restaurant was laid out with tables to the right & left, a coffee/juice bar and a bakery section in the back. Since my Spanish is nil, I believe who was one of the owners helped us choose our meal. Peruvian Beef Stir fry with rice and fries & Pueblo Style fillet of fish (tilapia) I had plantains & black beans as sides. Both were portions for two people & absolutely delicious. I had a tamarind drink and my friend had a Batido Mango (made with milk) The staff were all sweet and helpful. We got to-go bags. The prices were very reasonable for what we got. After we paid the check we were given caramelo flan ~ we said we would never finish it - well we did! Pretty much licked the plate. Can't wait to go back! And since I watch Celtic, premier, euro soccer, have found a new place that opens early! Soccer was playing on the screens while there! Another plus. Definitely check this place out, they have traditional Costa Rican, Peruvian and Salvadoran dishes - just to name a few!!!

I asked about any lunch specials and the waitress said they didn't have any which I found very strange. I said no worries and ordered 2 pupusas and a canned soda. Pupusas were dry on the outside and mushy on the inside, not cheesy but mushy almost watery. I love pupusas and order them regularly, but left half of one uneaten. Also The waitress never once came to check up on me. Still left her a cash tip on a $10 bill and no "thank you, no ay muchas gracias, no que tenga buen dia"..nada de nada. I'm Latina and love eating at mom and pop places because the wait staff are warm and the ambiance feels like home to me. This restaurant does have a lot of bible verses on the walls maybe they should have focused on improving customer service and less on arts and crafts. Oh well, it was a miss for me.

They make some delicious papusas and horchata. We got loroco and pork and loved them both, especially the fresh cheese and unique flavor of the loroco. A typical order comes with 4, but I asked for one of each, and they kindly obliged. Tastes very homemade / freshly made, and the accompanying cabbage salsa and tomato/pepper sauce condiments were a nice contrast. The horchata also seemed fresh and very refreshing.
