Chicharron con queso pupusas
Katherine D.

Came here to eat as ive been here a few times. The food took a bit longer to come out than i would have liked. The place overall was spacious and clean. The service was nice they were quick in getting our order and answering questions. The food itself wasnt as good as it used to be bhut still good. The pupusas were a little smaller than I remembered and felt a little dry.

The pupusas were so good i did a little dance with every bite I took. I tried the cheese w/ spinach. The bean w/ cheese and the plain cheese one. Probably the best pupusas I've had thus far. Other places don't fill the pupusas so you're basically eating more masa than anything. But This place is just the perfect ratio of masa to meat/cheese/bean etc. I also got a chicken tamal Pros: Most tender tamal I've ever had. Wrapped in banana leaf which gave it amazing flavor. Cons: They couldve added a more chicken inside. A little on the saltier side. Not sure id try their other menu items but I def found a "go to" spot for delicious pupusas.

I came here to buy pupusas because I was in the neighborhood. My aunt has never had a pupusas so I found this place on Yelp. I must say I am very happy I came here this place reminded me of places I have seen overseas. First the place has tables and you can see it is the go to place for the neighborhood. I placed my order and the lady told me to wait for 10 to 15 minutes. We sat at a table and waited for our order. We ordered 3 pupusas two cheese and one cheese and chicharron. My pupusa was delicious the chicarron was very flavorful. It was a bit greasy but it's understandable because it had a lot of cheese and chicarron. They packaged it very nicely and gave the hot sauce and pickled cabbage. I enjoyed the food very much and would definitely go back. I saw another family and they ordered some milkshakes which looked delicious. The filling in the pupusa was ample. For the order I paid about $13.00 dollars with a coke cola for the order which I thought was good.

The best pupusa in sunset park!!! Really generous size of patty and sooooo delicious!! Wait time is a bit much but it's so worth it, they could give a little more for the toppings and sauce but just ask for an extra bag! Chicken , shrimp and cheese are all so delicious

It was my first time ordering here and honestly I am very disappointed I found a cockroach in my food they have bad customer service

Primera y ultima ves que ordeno aca... Encontre una cucaracha en mi comida llame pero no me solucionaron el problema :(

Food is very good, definitely put a lot of effort into these pupusas (the only thing I get from here) but they do take a long time to serve or give out the order so I advise to order ahead of time.

Pupusa de Queso y Loroco

The food was ok, but as a Salvadorian the pupusas had more flour than filling which was upsetting. The side for the pupusas was very little I kind of expected more for this place. It does have a lot of traditional candies and they matched my expectations. Hot meals were questionable.

Another place i got to check off from my "must go" list. I…read morehad never had pupusas nor picadas and this was life changing on so many level!!! I was already kind of full but the entrees we got were also very delicious. I wish I knew how to cook fish or chicken that juicy but keeping the outside crunchy-crispy. 10/10 for all the food. Idk why but the music was so upbeat and it kept me feel rushed for some reason but that might be just me! Haha The service was great, the water kept getting filled and they were very attentive. Would definitely come back again!

4 Stars for dine-in. 3 Stars for delivery…read more I think this is the only Pupuseria in Astoria & am very happy about that! Used to go to the restaurant Mundo in this spot years ago. 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!

As a vegetarian, I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant. I asked about manteca (lard) in the…read morebeans, and the staff took it upon themselves to assure me that there was no pork, no beef products in any of the non-meat dishes. They were so kind and understanding, and made great suggestions for vegetarian items. We took a bunch of pupusas, with spinach, loroco (edible flower), beans and mushroom, all with cheese as well. It doesn't say on the menu, but the $3.50 per pupusa actually includes sauce and coleslaw (that's why there's a two pupusas minimum). There's also guacamole, rice, plantains... everything made to order and quite fast. Pay cash or card. Order to go or stay here. There's a TV but the volume is low enough to talk over it. Restroom in the back.

Which were freshly made so it took sometime. They were good as is but, amazing we with the Curtis and salsa. Salmon, yellow rice, Ben's, and steamed vegetable. Very fresh and delicious. BBQ chicken and rib platter with white rice, beans, sweet plantains, and steamed vegetable. Perfect combo to satisfy my BBQ craving. It was delicious. While I was waiting for the pupusas. Luis had me try a chicken tamale and soda on the house. The tamale was amazing and he showed me how they special wrap them. If you are in the area..pop in for some amazing service and food

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.
