You may feel tempted to thank him for accepting your money, but beneath the tough exterior he seems to have a good heart. The store offers a great variety of high-quality Eastern European products, including a strong selection of meats and dairy. Prices have gone up quite a bit recently, but that is probably unavoidable given inflation and the fact that the store is a bit farther from the main cluster of New York-area shops. Even so, it easily beats the other Eastern European shop on Nicholson Lane. Recommended.

For example, I ordered a steak and cheese salad, a sub without the bread on a bed of lettuce. When I received my order, there was no lettuce. When I questioned, I was told I should have requested lettuce. Recently, I placed an order that included four subs and tater tots. I requested sides of jalapeños and pickles. Prior to my husband returning home with our dinner order, I received a phone call from George, an owner, informing me that my sides had erroneously been excluded. He apologized and graciously stated that he would take care of me next time I placed an order. This evening I called, asked for George and spoke with Iyad, an owner. While attempting to place my order, there was significant background noise. It was very difficult to hear each other clearly. He repeatedly interrupted me while I attempted to place my order. Frustrated, I asked him to stop interrupting me, it was rude, and allow me to complete placing my order, then ask questions. A reasonable request. When my husband picked up our order, he was told by Iyad, something along the lines of, if the order was incorrect we may consider ordering elsewhere. BTW, our order was perfect and delicious.

The restaurant is located inside the back of a liquor store. I got 3 pupusas: cheese ($2.75), chicken ($2.75), and revuelta ($2.75) which has pork, beans, and cheese. The pupusas came with a type of coleslaw and a sauce. As a first timer I can say that the pupusas were solid. If I was ranking the pupusas I tried I'd say: 1- revuelta, 2-chicken, and 3-cheese. All in all, this is a solid location that serves decent pupusas. I'd definitely come back to try some of their other items like the steak n cheese with fries.

I ordered a glass of the white blend, which I wasn't really a fan of. The server was nice, but he was busy, so it took a while for him to return and take out orders. I ordered the crab dip for us to share. It was a good option to share before dinner. I then opted to try the spicy margarita. I actually really enjoyed it. Overall, I like the ambiance and variety of options. Although our server was really nice and apologetic, I was hoping for a better service experience. I would definitely try again and possibly go when the weathers nicer so I can sit outside.
