    Everything we tried here was amazing!! I think the Pupusas were definitely worth five dollars. They were perfectly made and cooked and they were stuffed full of ingredients. The fresco drinks are huge. I love Horchata more than life itself so I I ordered a large size and she said it's basically a half gallon lol so I just got the small and it was definitely big enough! I would come back here in a heartbeat and literally get anything because what we had was so amazing! It's a fun little walk up hole-in-the-wall place, but there is open air seating outside and one of those closed in areas where you can sit outside also if it happens to be raining. The woman who was working there was super nice and knowledgeable about everything and very proud of her homemade products, as she should be!

    A 6'x6' hole-in-the-wall on a random corner of Fresh Pond Rd doesn't appeal to most, including myself. Well, today I must admit I played myself... by not coming here sooner. What a pleasant surprise! The last time I had a great homemade pupusa, I was 8 years old. Stepping inside, we were greeted by a friendly gentleman behind the counter who only spoke Spanish. We ordered two Chicken + Cheese Pupusas and two Chicken Tacos. I was skeptical about the tacos since this is a pupusa spot, but my boyfriend insisted. The pupusas were fantastic! It was cheesy, the shredded chicken was flavorful, and the cornmeal dough was soft . The starting price is $5/pupusa but you can add more fillings for only $1/each. A STEAL! Tacos were alright. I'd stick with the pupusas though. There's no seating inside, only outside dining/takeout. Overall, I give this place 4.5 stars for the pupusas and recommend it to all locals for a quick, delicious Salvadoran bite.

    Huitlacoche Pupusa

    I ordered the huitlacoche pupusa and it was delicious. The fresh corn and cheese really complemented it well. I also enjoyed the green and red sauce that was given. The coleslaw was surprisingly good because I wasn't too impressed with how it looked inside a plastic baggie. It had enough acid, it was crunchy, and I appreciated the raw onions. My husband ordered the chicharron with beans and cheese pupusa but I couldn't taste anything but the beans. The only downside is that it ate very messy and I wish the pupusa didn't fall apart. With that said, I'll definitely be going back to try other flavors if I'm in the neighborhood.

    You tell me where you can find a meal so delicious for under ten bones!?! Pupusas are $3 each. Plenty of veggie options for us veg-heads! I figured two was a great way to start. My mom raised me on zucchini so I knew I needed one of those and the spinach also looked good. Both had cheese of course! Not so vegan friendly. The pupusas come with shredded cabbage and tomato salsa. I had fo also order the horchata. My total was $9 before tax and tip! My roommate got the mole and was more than happy with her choice. I devoured mine in their patio seating. The food was served in to go bags. The actual place is tiny. There's only enough room to pop in and tell them your order and pay. There is also a free cactus fruit water when we went. The word is out because there was tons of people in the patio. People know a deal when they see it. And it's the flavor that gets people coming back.

    This place is authentically Salvador. Their pupusas are bomb- I had frijol con queso, chicharron con queso and loroco con queso. I love them all, although the loroco is an acquired taste (it tastes like broccoli or squash). Their drinks are sweet. I got marcuya and it was full of flavor. The place is small and they currently only offer outdoor dining. Keep in mind that they do charge a service fee if you pay with a credit card.

    I was looking for something new to try and I happened to stumble upon this place. Outdoor seating is nice, they have music playing, plenty of chairs , nice shade and breeze for these humid days. Upon walking up, there is a menu ; i ordered inside (really only fits one person) Chicharron Y Queso, Loroco Con Queso, and spinach and cheese. My rating is based on the flavor which was totally absent. I wanted to try the pupusas without their special coleslaw that comes in a baggie(very stinky) and then with...no magic. Just plain. The cheese had a lil yummy saltiness and then poof, bland. The chicharrón one has the most flavor but still blah.

    Best pupusas I've ever had. Made fresh with quality ingredients. Ask for their homemade green spicy sauce. Delish!

    I love their horchata, it's not grainy at all. I come by all the time to grab some $6.50 for a large.

    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!

    Be the cheese to my papusa! Finally tried the El Salvadorian food papusas at Ricas Papusas & Mas…read more The papusas were pretty good and crunchy. They kind of had a nice tortilla crunch to it. I also liked how the food came with a side of raw beets. The sauces they provided also weren't too spicy and just the right amount of spice. However, the tamale I tried didn't have much flavor to it was kind of dry and flavorless. The flan also wasn't really sweet. It had more of a bitter cough syrup taste to it, I had much better flans before. The food also did kind of take long to come, it was around a 15 minute wait. But it could be because it was only two people running it. This place wasn't crowded at all and had a very simplistic aesthetic to it. Overall, would suggest the Papusas only here, you can skip out on the other items. Price: $4.50 Rating: 6.5

    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. I food was so so good the experience was great and the service was fast and the works were so so nice.
