I'll have to come back to see if I can figure out a combination to make the meal taste better balanced, but I didn't see much when I was there. The people are very friendly though, the place clean, and the portions are generous. Not much to offer for sit-in eating other than the counter by the window.

I stopped in and got 3 full meals along with a delicious salad that sorta taste like pico de gallo but better and an appetizer which was a stuffed yuca ball. I tried all the dishes but my favorite was the sautéed ribs and arroz Moro. Each dish came with a side of Yuca and it was delicious. I'd say they're very reasonably priced as well. The corn beef hash dish was my least favorite because I feel it did lack some flavors but overall it was still decent. The restaurant is super small. No space to sit down and eat, it's more like takeout and go but it's worth it. The customer service was lacking and I wasn't greeted but I'm not mad at that, my hunger was taking over me lol.

No favoritism here on my end. I can honestly say they are not the best at customer service. I've watched several things here fluctuate from their A to B grade, B back to A grade. $1.25 Alcapurias to now $1.75 Alcapurias. All in all it's still very much worth the cheap price. Cuchifrito will not give you a great tasting Relleno de papa or Alcapuria the way Ramona's do. Around the way and need a little appetizer or full meal? Look no further and come into the Moore Street Red Market and try our Ramona's. Patrons are allowed to sit for about 30 minutes and enjoy some of their food.

Behind the counter there is a welcoming selection of foods and treats of all shapes and sizes for people of all shapes and sizes: chickens, piglets, plantains, rices, coffee, soups, chicharrones, sweets, etc. The pernil and mangú make a heavy and nutritiously unbalanced meal that is delicious and slides down the gullet like a well-lubricated endoscope. I would highly recommend this combination. The mondongo is also very tasty, and its tripe is not overly chewy. In my several experiences, the amount of food in one plate is in fact enough for two meals. You shall find the prices to be quiet reasonable. Think around $10 for a a meal of great heft in the 2026th year of our Lord. The space is pleasant, with many tables for dining and socialization. There is also a bar for when you wish to go out on the town.

If you're walking southeast on Knickerbocker past Maria Hernandez Park and your face isn't buried…read morein your phone like a goddamn millennial,* you might spot the sign with an arrow pointing left that says, "Pupuseria." A few steps off the main drag, there's a pretty rundown shack just sticking out of the wall of a building, with razor wire around the top to keep the riffraff out. That's Amanda's. The printed menu (with photos) claims that they offer all sorts of comida centroamericana including tortas, baleadas, empanadas, salchipapas, and more. The chalkboard lets you know what they actually have, which is usually pupusas and tamales. Personally, I've only ever ordered a pupusa...because it's a pupuseria, stupid. Also, because Amanda's pupusas are delicious, and I don't want to risk getting something I don't like as much. Each one comes with some slaw (she calls it salad) and a bright, mild red salsa. With the bean and cheese filling, it's a hearty, flavorful, healthy-ish snack (a meal for a less gluttonous person) for $2.50, and it's well worth it, even if you have to endure the lady who seems to live at the plastic table on the right and never stops talking about her son in college and his enormous appetite. I get it lady, he's very smart and very hungry. Let me eat my pupusa in peace. ______________ *I'm on the cusp and I like to think I'm not one, but my face is often buried in my phone :(

Allow me to answer my question with another question: How about getting homemade-style papusas, tortas, tamales and chicarron from a tiny shack projecting from an apartment building across from Bushwick Park? When I moved to NYC a few years ago, I lived in the new apartment complex nextdoor to this place and this was my go-to spot for cheap and authentic El Salvadorian food. When I say authentic, I mean it - if you don't speak Spanish you better bring your translation app on your phone. The ladies behind the makeshift counter are constantly rolling the dough and slamming in your favorite ingredients before tossing it on the grill. All made right in front of you by people who know their stuff (stuffing papusas and tamales that is, let alone your mouth!) Each order comes with their pickled salad and homemade salsa sure to compliment your meal as you stroll about Bushwick park listening to Latinos standing on the beds of their pickup trucks talking about (a) their political campaign in the Hispanic community or (b) jesus (if that's your thing), all with dozens of subwoofers blasting Spanish music in the background. A walk through this cultural paradise would not be complete without a culinary dish such as those put out by who is commonly referred to as "The Papusa Lady."
