This El Salvadoran restaurant is unassuming, but don't let the simplicity fool you--the food is absolutely delicious. The space is modest, with a medium-sized dining area, but what it lacks in frills, it makes up for in flavor. I've tried the breakfast special, as well as a combo with steak, tamale, and pupusa, and everything was grrreat! I only wish they offered a combo with steak and two pupusas! I'll definitely be returning whenever I'm in the mood for authentic El Salvadoran cuisine.

First time trying Salvadoran food! I ordered their beef soup and a mixed pupusa (pork and cheese). Both were extremely flavorful. The environment was cozy and the restaurant was clean. Would definitely recommend and go again!

I pretty consistently come here for the pupusas, which are exquisite. I could drown in the slaw. Refried beans also top notch. Steak, corn tamale, lemonade all good too. Love this place.

I had the grilled steak tamale and papusa meal #7. A little bit of everything. I loved it

Incredible food and friendly service! I live here and have been coming for 2 years, never had a menu item I didn't like. Highly recommend the pupusas and anything with shrimp

This hole in the wall el Salvadoreña place offers papusas, combo plates and breakfasts. One of my go tos is the el Salvadoreña combo with steak, a chicken Papusa and a sweet corn tamale for $12. It feels family run and service is carribean style relaxed. Beer happy hour is around $5. Close to the 191 train in wash heights.

thank you to my dear friend, wanda , for taking me to try salvadorean food for the first timeit was LIFE CHANGING and while this was my first, it's definitely not going to be my last! i've always heard of pupusas but never had the chance to go prior to this visit, BUT IDK WHERE I WAS BC THESE WERE SO BOMB the restaurant itself was a quaint mom-and-pop store with the sweetest workers willing to give recommendations and accommodate our needswith a wide range of delicious salvadorean classics and surprisingly affordable prices, they truly give you a bang for your buck -- -- -- pictured: " 3 ingredient pupusa ($3.00 each) //filled with pork, cheese, and beans, each pupusa was a pocket of heaventhey also came with a slaw and salsa which gave each bite a refreshing touch! " grilled steak dinner plate ($16.00) // first off, the steak was seasoned to perfection and was huge given the priceit also came with a generous side salad, pico de gallo, and crispy plantains which were divine " yuca frita con chicharrón ($10.00) // this was my first time trying this AND I WAS SO SOLDthe fried yuca reminded me of a potato wedge but lighter, airier, and slightly crumblier in the best way possible all with a crispy exterior! the chicharrón was also incredibly crispy and juicy making it so delicious! " horchata ($3.00) // unlike the mexican horchata i was used to with the primary notes of cinnamon and rice milk, this salvadorean horchata (horchata de morro) was very different in taste which I actually really enjoyed. using a different combination of spices and seeds from the morro fruit, the drink itself was nuttier and deep in flavor which i really loved! -- -- -- overall i truly loved my experience here and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for some amazing salvadorean food!

This is my most valuable find of the Week. Maybe even of the Month. Now don't get me wrong, this place isn't fancy, high class nor expensive but it sure is clean, casual, inexpensive and delicious. They have an assortment of foods ranging from their signature pupusas, tamales, tacos and meat and vegetable combos. They also offer fresh juices and other beverages. There really is something for everyone. The decor is simple but solid. There are about 10 tables for dining in, and what used to be an outdoor eating area could hold plenty more. I'm unsure if the outdoor seating is still in use. The bathrooms are tiny but very clean and stocked as is the rest of the place. They recently added a bar area which is separate from the restaurant so be sure to check out the festivities in the evenings and report back. Nice spot for lunch or if you're looking to try new cuisine.
