Both were so flavorful, especially the chicken, and the plantains and cheese on the veg were the perfect combo. The empanadas were so fluffy and the cazón I got worked really well inside, the spices they added to the fish married it well with the dough. And the sauces!! Total must, particularly the creamy green sauce, but also the others ruled. And the prices were reasonable, I was very full after a $6 empanada and $13.50 arepa, for a lighter meal could probably just have the latter. Awesome spot in Bushwick for sit-down arepas.

Food is delicious, affordable, and good for a filling bite without breaking the bank. I believe they also make their cheese which is delicious and chewy.

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."

I really wanted jugo de parcha and unfortunately they didn't have it. So I settled for a jugo de coco instead! It was super tasty and was a good substitute but I still wanted my parcha lol. I ordered two chicken empanadas which were pretty good and dad ordered some cuchifritos. The service was incredible and so were the prices. However, we tried to order multiple things that were not available which was really annoying. The location in Bushwick is better.
