Best pupusas in NY. They've got all the essentials and they perfected what they do. Revueltas are top tier.

I love ordering pupusas here. They have the steamiest ones I've ever had, which is how I love to eat them. I always order mixtas and the cheese ones because of how stringy it gets when you first bite into one. I don't usually have anything with my pupusas but their sauce is so tasty that I can't help but try it every time I visit. The staff there are super helpful and friendly as well. I usually order my food to go but the ambiance is super chill.

This is my favorite restaurant in the neighborhood! I went here constantly during the immediate pandemic and greatly enjoyed the outdoor dining. Pupusas are the greatest food on Earth, service is friendly, and the sangria is tasty. You can get two substantial pupusas for less than $7, and they also have tamales! Their steak and onions is also excellent. I also love their plantains with sour cream. Thank you, El Continental!

This place was nice. I went with my family after another event and were seated quickly. There werent a lot of people which was nice thag it wasnt full. The waitress took our drink order pretty quick. I ordered an horchata and it was ok. It felt very powdery but the taste was spot on. I didnt order much as i wasnt too hungry but i got a pork chicharrón with tostones. The food was goo but it did take a while for it to come to the table. The service could have been a bit better. The waitress did take her time coming to the table. It wasnt bad since the place was a little slow but i would return to eat here again.

Food here is great! I always order pupusas along with other items. I'm surprised at how quick/on time it is. I've never been to a pupuseria that didn't take a while. They are made to order and take time. Be patient folks! Good food takes a little time.

Came in and was seated quickly which is definitely a plus. Ordered a shrimp cocktail, steak and beans. The steak and beans were good. The steak was a decent size and well seasoned. The rice and beans were good. Where I take away points is in two places. The shrimp cocktail wasn't very good, the sauce was a little bland and the shrimp wasn't as chilled as it should be. The other point is it was cold in the restaurant. It feels as if the windows and door aren't well shut or insulated letting the cold and in and making the food get colder faster. All in all I will go back when it is warmer.
