Surina C.

Went to see Dyker Heights Christmas lights and stumbled on this little pupuseria. They were charging $1 to use the restroom. My family and I ordered pork and cheese pupusas, bean and cheese pupusas, and spinach and cheese pupusas. They were very cheesy and delicious. The only negative is that for the size I think the price is a little high. Regardless, we were able to get the pupusas quickly despite the long line. They also had churros outside but I did not try them. If you're in the area and seeing the Christmas lights, I would definitely stop by and get a warm snack.

The leaky, greasy chicken patties or pastels de pollo with a watery dipping sauce ‍
Nikki B.

I used to order from this spot years ago. The chicken sandwich with fries was huge. It was a chicken breast fried well done, seasoned on toasted big bun with lettuce and tomato and onion. This time I ordered it reflecting on the past. Yet, I saw some new items on the menu. Chicken patties, tamales. I was excited. When my order arrived the chicken patties were so greasy , the oil was leaking out of the bag. It arrived with a sauce and cabbage/slaw in a mini plastic bag together. The slaw was loose! The chicken burger I remembered was now 4 chicken tenders, sauce lettuce and tomato. But the hidden gem of the meal was the chicken tamale. It reminded me of a homemade tamale. It had chicken bits in it, some mixed vegetables all wrapped up in foil in a banana leaf. Very tasty. I don't know in management or just the overall problems with owning a business in Bklyn. Time has definitely changed. Now my expectations have too.

Best pupusas  that taste just like my Pueblo, Chalchuapa

Believe me when I tell you these are the closest to authentic Salvadorian cuisine you can get in all of the USA. Everything taste so amazing and it's made with love. If you're lucky when you go and get a chance to meet the owner you'll be delighted to know she's the sweetest person you'll ever meet and you'll be able to feel that she takes pride in her restaurant. I highly recommend if you're even in NY you must make a trip to eat here. PURE DELICIOUSNESS

Pupusas Revueltas
Austin H.

If you're looking for a delicious pupusa, look no further. The pupusas here hit the spot. And while it may see like a lot of cheese, get the cheese on top 10/10 worth it. The pork pupusa was quite delicious, but the winner for me was the squash pupusa - I had never had one before and it was wonderful. If you're not in Brooklyn, this place is worth the trip!

Chicken tamale
Amy W.

Not a fan of the pupusas they are weirdly small, they are flavorless and the cortido is just ok its nothing to write home about. The chicken tamale was good. I wont be returning as I can go to Continental Restaurant in Brooklyn for better tasting pupusas. The customer service was ok but it was just too many hands in the kitchen. They cook right behind the counter and it was about 6 people there and there was alot of talking going on over the food being prepared.

Varied pupusas
Roberto L.

We went today and enjoy of really delicious pupusas, we order a variety of flavors and mixs, as well as a delicious side of yuca frita and chicharron, you can let your imagination run free and it will probably taste great as well. They have two tables outside for you to be able to eat there in the spot without feeling COVID compromise. The staff is nice and helpful. Definitely this is a recommended place.

They serve raw food. I'm absolutely appalled by this. The order had arrived very quickly but this is just disgusting.

I stopped by with a friend. This is a casual place, but had some nice seating in a semi-outdoor covered area. The pupusas were great.

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

They have caju juice, maranon. Not watered down. By far a flavor I rarely find locally. The pupusa with beans, pork and cheese; curtido and sauce on the side was amazing. The crispy breaded shrimp entree was fabulous! There were 7 jumbo shrimp, cleaned properly, not overcooked and still crispy on arrival. They were plump and had a great bite, not mushy or chewy. These are the shrimp you dream of. The rice and beans was nice. Small red beans, not oily and not mushy. Proper texture of freshly made that day. The side salad... Ok, it could have been in a separate container. But it was a great side salad. A good chunk of fresh farmers cheese. Salsa with fresh herbs to dress it, and a bit of purslane I think. The budin, described as banana pudding. It looks amazing. I'm not sure how it should taste. It's lightly sweet. For me it wasn't my taste preference, but it was still good. I couldn't say how it should taste as I never had it before; but it wasn't pudding or flan like.

The pupusas were delicious I ate them at home. Pretty big filled with beans and cheese and the pickled veggies were good along with the tomato sauce that wasn't spicy.

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.
