The order came earlier than expected and We dug in and almost forgot to take photos. The pupusas was really good and for 3$ a piece you can't beat that! The meats in the tipica were overly cooked and a little dry, I also couldn't help but feel that everything was very salty. I'm definitely going to order pupusas here again next time but may pass on their other items.

I like this place was my favorite place to came eat pupusas.me and my family used to came once a…read moremonth .one time I came with my family to have a good time.my partner order shrimp tacos and I order pupusas!the waitress brings the pupusas first but not the tacos.I didn't want to eat till my partner has he's shrimp tacos so we waited long .the waitress got him shrimp and salad with avocado on the side .wrong!!we told her it's wrong my partner order the shrimp tacos!!.any ways I didn't want to make it difficult.so I said bring the shrimp tacos for my boyfriend.we eat but we were not happy about the mistakes because the waitress didn't even apologize for her mistakes.when we finished eating I walk to the register because I pay with my phone always.since I never carry my cards.she was taking care of my payment she charge me for an avocado $6 dollars we never asked and I was paying the meal she got wrong and we didn't eat .to not make problems.but I was piss.anyways I remained calm.she stop talking care of my payment and decided to take a phone order more 2 order while I was waiting there long for her.so disrespectful she should of finished with me first.i was piss this was supposed to be a good time with my family a perfect meal.people came to this places for the meal and good time but also the treatment of the waitress and service matter.I tried to understand the waitress because she was the only waitress there but she also had a bad attitude anergy maybe she was mad or not happy to be the only one working there that day but please if can t do this alone or you feel like you don't have the energy for it don't came to work that day .people came here to have a good time and good meal.with that attitude you ruined their day.this was supposed to be a perfect meal,time! to be honest the food is good here but the service was not good. So for this 1 start only sad experience.

It's street parking, but that's normal in Hempstead. The outside of the building fit popular 90's store fronts. So it made me reminiscent of the past. Inside I was a little surprised. The place was a bit run down. Tables were not wiped clean and the wood trim around the food looked questionable. But those things don't stop me from eating. The staff behind the counter were incredible! They talked to everyone. When the restaurant started to get more customers walking in, they were on it. The woman who helped us was incredibly friendly and helpful. She explained everything and what it was (my friend translated for me) and I made my selections. The woman waiting on us offered me some kind of sauce. I figured "when in Rome." We took our plates and started eating. I instantly thought how glad I was to take that sauce. I wish I remembered the name of it. But trust me I took the rest home. The entire meal, including the sauce, amazing! That ring that looks like a donut, was in fact, not a donut, but I will recommend you try it, if you stop in. I will definitely be back. With all the other selections down the assembly line they offer, I have my work cut out for me. I mean, I didn't even try the rice yet.

For east coast Salvadoran food, I'd say it's good. If I'm comparing it to other areas, it's just okay. Revuelta and loroco pupusas are good, but I'm used to them being more filled that they gush open when you slice it. It's good for the area, but I miss them from back home. I also wish their cabbage salad was spicier and had more of a kick. The spicy sauces weren't spicy to me. Quite shocked by that.

Thank God for another pupusa place in Queens so I've been to a one other one called salavatoria but…read moreI won't compare I absolutely had a blast and this place was so so good as well I got 3 mixed pupusas and it was so juicy and and so flavorful. It's so hard to find any pupusa places in new York cause pupusas aren't really known much but the fact that I'm lucky enough to have tasted two good quality pupusas places. Makes me happy and honestly the atmosphere was great ricas pupusas seemed to be a like a small business and I'm so glad I had the experience. I definitely need to come back and try everything else cause the mixed pupusas were amazing and i don't know what tomato sauce they used it was so so good I highly recommend.

Salvatoria Kitchen and Bar is a great option if you're looking for a sit-down spot for pupusas. I…read morewas pleasantly surprised that the pupusas were still reasonably priced for a full-service restaurant and bar, at around $4 each. They offer a good variety of fillings. My favorite was the jalapeño and cheese, which have a nice kick to them. The yuca frita was crispy but not oily, and made for a great appetizer before the pupusas. We came during happy hour and took advantage of the drink specials. The red sangria and margaritas were only $8 a glass and they were both strong and tasty, though I preferred the sangria slightly more. The music at Salvatoria was great and made for a nice atmosphere, with current Latino hits playing in the background. My only note, and it's minor, is that the curtido wasn't as good as I've had at other places. They do give you a good amount, but it lacked some of the crunch and acidity that a great curtido needs to balance out the pupusas. Overall, Salvatoria Kitchen and Bar delivers on food, value, and atmosphere. The bill for four pupusas, two drinks, and an order of yuca frita came out to just $45 before tip.

Hidden amongst a neighborhood…read morefull of mainly Korean restaurants, this El Salvadoran restaurant was a true joy to find and try out. They offer a lunch special for $13 but we all opted for the 3 taco set that comes in either beef or chicken that comes with rice and beans. The taco shell was a hard shell and tasted so fresh and crunchy like it was homemade. The meat was juicy and delicious and it was dripping it was so good. The tacos were generously topped with lettuce and slice of avocado. The beans seem like they were blended and very tasty. The only downside was the language barrier. We orders 3 beef tacos and 1 chicken taco and they mistakenly brought out 2 chicken and 2 beef. It was a little difficult rectifying the order. We finally decided to bring the chicken order and order another beef set but it took a while for them to understand us. I think it was just a mistake on the kitchen part since when the receipt came, the order was actually for 3 beef and 1 chicken. All food at the end. We also didn't know what pupusas are so had to try it. Omg! We picked the one filled with chicharonnes and cheese. It was $3. Came with a side of coleslaw and dipping sauce. Soooooo good! The decor is very low key- little but old school. It's definitely a laid back atmosphere.

I came here in a pinch for some Pupusas since my usual spot…read morePupuseria el Guanaco. I wasn't sure what to think of the place. It's a little run down. There was one woman behind the counter when I arrived but the restaurant was otherwise empty and deserted. It looked like like no one had been there all day. There's also no set menu apparently as the hot dishes rotate daily. I was there for the pupusas so I didn't focus too much on their hot food. They offer bean and cheese, plain cheese, loroco and cheese and pork and cheese. Each pupusa was $3.75. The owner made the pupusas fresh to order. I told her I was going to the bank so I could pay in cash since I was short on change. I was a little off put when she asked me to leave what I had in the meantime so she could start on the order. I said "like a deposit?". I guess some people order and then don't return? I assured her I would be back to pick up the food. She seemed almost relieved when I actually did return with the money. The pupusas were actually pretty good and tasted fresh. They're not as good as my usual spot or as heavily stuffed. These felt more snacky and less meal sized but still a fine substitute. They came with curtido and salsa. The curtido wasn't great but I liked the salsa.
