Review for pupusas only 5 stars! I had the spinach and cheese ones and they were made fresh in front of my eyes came with typical cabbage slaw and green and red sauce both good. A steal at 7. And I think this is a womanowned business at least there were a lot of women cooking and around! would def order the pupusas again.

This place deserves a lot more credit. Incredible papusas and steak!

The atmosphere, the food, its all great. Fried fish and plantains were simple and delicious.

Great place for regional Central American fare. Chicken Tamales were great, but I come here for pupusas! The bean and chicharron are amazing and the toppings are great. Ask for their jalapeno sauce for an added kick. Great prices and nice homey interior! Highly recommended!

Great lunch specials and also a great spot for casual dinner if youre looking for central American cuisine. Really friendly staff and management. Go for the pupusas or chicharrone or why not both?? Annoyed to see other reviewers criticizing this place for bad management or food poisoning not valid!

The pupusas are soooo amazing with the cabbage topping... I live in Staten island and I go all the way to Brooklyn just for this pupusas.. the corn tamales are good, wish they were a little bigger, but they still really tasty and filling

They have the best pupusas in New York City. Ive been going there since 1995. You go there you wont regret it.

Service is great and fast. Food is awesome and flavorful. Place is clean and has a good vibe. Great for families. Overall my experience was great cant complain. If you are in the area and want some authentic Salvadorean food then try them out.
