If you're walking southeast on Knickerbocker past Maria Hernandez Park and your face isn't buried…read morein your phone like a goddamn millennial,* you might spot the sign with an arrow pointing left that says, "Pupuseria." A few steps off the main drag, there's a pretty rundown shack just sticking out of the wall of a building, with razor wire around the top to keep the riffraff out. That's Amanda's. The printed menu (with photos) claims that they offer all sorts of comida centroamericana including tortas, baleadas, empanadas, salchipapas, and more. The chalkboard lets you know what they actually have, which is usually pupusas and tamales. Personally, I've only ever ordered a pupusa...because it's a pupuseria, stupid. Also, because Amanda's pupusas are delicious, and I don't want to risk getting something I don't like as much. Each one comes with some slaw (she calls it salad) and a bright, mild red salsa. With the bean and cheese filling, it's a hearty, flavorful, healthy-ish snack (a meal for a less gluttonous person) for $2.50, and it's well worth it, even if you have to endure the lady who seems to live at the plastic table on the right and never stops talking about her son in college and his enormous appetite. I get it lady, he's very smart and very hungry. Let me eat my pupusa in peace. ______________ *I'm on the cusp and I like to think I'm not one, but my face is often buried in my phone :(

Allow me to answer my question with another question: How about getting homemade-style papusas, tortas, tamales and chicarron from a tiny shack projecting from an apartment building across from Bushwick Park? When I moved to NYC a few years ago, I lived in the new apartment complex nextdoor to this place and this was my go-to spot for cheap and authentic El Salvadorian food. When I say authentic, I mean it - if you don't speak Spanish you better bring your translation app on your phone. The ladies behind the makeshift counter are constantly rolling the dough and slamming in your favorite ingredients before tossing it on the grill. All made right in front of you by people who know their stuff (stuffing papusas and tamales that is, let alone your mouth!) Each order comes with their pickled salad and homemade salsa sure to compliment your meal as you stroll about Bushwick park listening to Latinos standing on the beds of their pickup trucks talking about (a) their political campaign in the Hispanic community or (b) jesus (if that's your thing), all with dozens of subwoofers blasting Spanish music in the background. A walk through this cultural paradise would not be complete without a culinary dish such as those put out by who is commonly referred to as "The Papusa Lady."

This place is like my second home during the summers. My grandparents on my mom's side have passed,…read moreand this is the closest I've come to grandma's cooking; it's not 100% but it's close. When my dad and step-mom leave Spain and return to good 'ole NY for the summer, we stop by for a late lunch almost every Saturday. The owners have become like a new family for us. It just so happens that they (the owners and my dad) all know some of the same people back in the Dominican Republic. I try and order something different every time I go, but it's hard to as my favorite to eat is the mofongo! Most places use pork rinds or fat in their mofongo and I HATE that! La Morena likes to use chicharron and pieces of pernil in their mofongo, and the salsa is the best in the Ridgewood/Bushwick area! The white rice is always good, never under or over cooked and just enough salt so that it's not completely bland. The morro (yellow rice w/ guandules) is just as good! My favorite thing to complete my meal?! The morirsonando.. which tastes just as good as it's translation- to die dreaming. Every time I drink it, I'm in heaven. No other place makes it like they do (the only other place that WAS good enough was the cuchifrito underneath the M and L trains when I was a little girl). The two things I don't necessarily enjoy about La Morena are the music and this one Mexican/Ecuadorian that seems to always be there. You can be sitting down eating and the next second there's bachata or a ballad BLASTING out of the speakers. Sometimes people put their quarters in the jukebox and pick a song, other times it goes off on its own. It's never really something you can pin point, and when you're so engaged in the food, it's not something you're paying attention to. As far as the guy goes, he's always in a button down shirt and slacks. He's either coming or sitting at a table or by the waitresses. He's always got a beer and most times singing to the songs. No matter the time of day, the food here is great! If you want the "Tres Golpes" for breakfast (friend Dominican salami, eggs, and cheese, with mushed plantains), then you better call up early. Everyone orders breakfast from them and it goes QUICK!
