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.

This is a very nice authentic Salvadoran place. I have already had pupusas before at other…read moreSalvadoran places, so this time I decided to try something different. The main thing I had were the nuegados con chilate. Nuegados are these deep fried disc shaped things that come with a sweet honey syrup. They were okay. They reminded me of hash browns except bigger and harder. The chilate was a corn drink on the side. I did not like it that much because it was very bland. The two other things I ordered I liked a lot. One was a pastel de carne. This was what they call the typical half-moon shaped empanada found in many Latin American countries. It was very moist, flaky, and delicious. The second was an empanada de leche. However, their empanada was an oval shaped fried plantain patty, filled with a sweet milk cream. It was very sweet and very tasty! I also tried a piece of my friend's steak. The steak was also nicely made. It was not dry at all, well seasoned, and thin like I prefer my steaks. The staff were also very friendly and greeted us as we entered. This place was a very good find. I am surprised no one else had written a review yet.

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!

Ah well - the food is good, it's a clean place, service is a bit slow but not bad (and nearly zero communication in English). Just point to what you want on the menu (if you don't speak Spanish - the dozen words I know weren't helpful). Fried tacos (taquitos) were good. Absolutely smothered with salad, sour cream, and cheese. Good stuff. Fried tamales were good too - served with a cup of mayonnaise (I think) and a slab of cheese. The only downside was there was no filling - just a slab of deep fried masa (reminded me of a sweet hot water cornbread). Good and tasty. I just wasn't expecting it to have no filling. The tostones were excellent. Perfectly fried, golden brown and crispy. Yum!

I was impressed by the large variety of options on this menu. I ordered an empanada to start followed by a mini bandeja. There was nothing mini about it! As you can see by the pic, portion size are not skimpy. Overall, the dish was good, only thing I would change was the steak. Had a little too much fat for my liking. But the chicharron and frijoles were great. The jugo de guanabana was delicious. Empanada was good too, though I would've liked a bit more of a flavor kick. They have a few tables and bar area for indoor dining and a covered section outside. Restaurant was busy, with customers dining in or picking up orders. Seems like a staple for the local community which is great to see. Service was friendly and moderately paced. Will return if in the area!
