Well worth the price. Delicious food, and great service. I got the steak and onions with some rice and sweet plantains, it was incredible. Comfort food read more

El Continental Restaurant - Salvadoran Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

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. read more

The food quality made a special occasion even more memorable. The service team was reliable. The amount of food reflects the price fairly. I experienced welcoming service in an orderly, well-kept restaurant. I plan to spread praise about this place. read more

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. read more

Went to have breakfast with my family, got there 30 minutes after they open, we place our food order for 8 people, the food took more than an hour for the food to come out, we kept asking about our food wile other people got their food ahead of us. I don't recommend this place at all, the service was horrible and the food was not prepared right, most of it came out cold. read more

Good atmosphere and friendly people, and the food is definitely good I like the pupusas very much, and The T-bone Steak is very good.

I'm not a big fan of their rice and beans, it's kinda of bland to me. However, I mixed it with my shrimp and garlic sauce and I loved it! For me it was pretty filling I couldn't finish it, so I took the rest to go. I like how there fried cheese is not too salty. In my opinion it goes better without the ketchup. read more

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. read more

This is a very affordable and delicious place to enjoy food from El Salvador. Their pupusas and tamales are excellent, and I love their customer service. read more

Corner spot- always wondered about this place. We ate well here........... Papusas were nicely made and tasty especially the cheese papusa. They were served with a vinegary coleslaw.. Bf's plate of roast chicken, rice, beans salad was a feast. My batido of strawberry/banana was also quite good. Bathrooms here are a bit dirty, but to some there is a correlation...$19.95. read more

Enchiladas were especially tasty, but the chicken tamales were also really good Shrimp was pretty tasty as well, prices are cheap as well. No complaints! read more

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. read more

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! read more

Placed a to-go order for an $18 shrimp in garlic sauce platter. Please tell me why there were a total of six shrimp in the platter?! No, not jumbo shrimp. Smh. Beyond irritated and disappointed. Additionally, the food was bland; needless to say, I won't be returning to this establishment. read more

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

best pupusas I have ever had. stumbled across this place with no expectations and was blown away. we ordered pupusas de queso, platanos maduros fritos, and frijoles fritos. the margs were also excellent and tasted like fresh limes. tajin rim was a nice touch. read more

Upon first walking in, you won't expect much from Continental but don't let their lack of decór fool you. Their Salvadorean cuisine is mouthwatering good. I always get the same thing when I come partly because because I am a creature of habit and partly because if something is this good, why change it? I'd recommend ordering two pupusas: una revuelta (1 mixed) y una con queso (and 1 with cheese). Pupusas are lightly pan fried, corn or rice flour based tortilla patties stuffed with meat and cheese, pork and beans or just cheese. This dish comes with a side of shredded cabbage in a homemade vinegar & lime dressing. So. Effing. Good. Then I would recommend an order of Tamales de Elote. There are two in one order and perfect for sharing. This is a corn based, buttery tamale served with cream on the side that has a slightly sweet taste to it. It's very soft and buttery to the taste. This could probably also be eaten as a dessert but it complements the flavor of the pupusa and cabbage salad so well. To drink, I would order one of their traditional beverages like Horchata (cocoa flavored, slightly milky drink) or Tamarindo (beverage made from Tamarind). Their milkshakes are also incredibly flavorful and delicious. iBuén provecho! read more

Two stars just for the tasty pupusas. The service wasn't great, the slaw was brought out by itself and we were just looking at it wondering what to do with it since no plates or explanation came with it. About 10 minutes later we got our cheese pupusas and the pork ones, both were delicious and were made better by the slaw. When our meals were brought out, my maduros were on my friend's plate, her tostones were on my plate. Instead of fixing it before she brought it out or bringing us an extra plate to make it easier for us to switch, the server mentioned that they were on the wrong plates and that was it. My salmon was just okay, my friend ordered carne guisado and got a cheap steak, nothing at all like the stewed meat she was expecting. I'd go back if I was in the area and only order pupusas. read more

It has a long menu of items you can find elsewhere like fried chops, but I thought pupusas might be more site-specific. I got the mixed version - pork, cheese and beans, I believe. It was fine on its own but even better when topped with pickled cabbage and red and green sauces. The shrimp ceviche had a good, tomato-oriented base, although I would have preferred whole shrimp over chopped. read more

I LOVE this place. The Pupusas the the Bomb. Fanicer dishes like steaks are...fine. but it's all about the pupusas. I dream about them.

I found this place to be a cozy family restaurant. The service was excellent and the grilled chicken salad that I ordered was fresh. The pupusas were delicious and not too oily like other restaurants in the area. I would highly recommend El Continental! read more

A-OK is not a bad review in my book. I am not a Salvadoran cuisine connoisseur. I've had a few papusas in my day, but otherwise, I do not know what dishes are traditional for Salvadoran cooking. That being said, perhaps if I did, I'd have a better understanding of how to navigate this menu which was a mix of American standards and what, I'm guessing, are more Salvadoran dishes. My dining partner ordered the red snapper and he loved it. It came out whole and fried. He loved how crunchy the outside skin was. My meal of shrimp was less memorable. If the diner had been a traditional American fare only diner, I would never have ordered shrimp; however, I thought that it might be worth the risk since it was Salvadoran. Nope. The moral of the story? Ask the server what he/she recommends or what they are known for if you do dine there. read more

Food was great!! I had the Carne Asada which comes with eggs fries and a small pico de gallo salad on the side,, I also had a sweet corn tamales which come with a side of sour cream couldn't get a picture cause I was hungry but they were delish,, waitress was nice,, Restaurant has a good vibe to it Will definitely be back ! read more

Really solid pupusas (pork & beans are my favorite) and corn tamales. Affordable, yummy, and filling. I always swing by here after work when I'm too lazy to cook. Also their lunch special is SO CHEAP and so good read more

Tasty pupusas. They also have a very good lunch special. Not the best Salvadorean, or the best pupusas ever, but it is solid and reliable neighborhood place for a pupusa or a caldo fix. read more

Been waiting 45 min for my order to be told that they haven't started my order due to a lost ticket. I was told wait time was 15-20 min, I gave them an extra 10 min grace period just in case they left fell behind in the kitchen. I asked her to give me my refund when I was told that they are starting to prepare my food, instead she brushed me away and went to the back. Don't waist your time here go to usulteco instead on 40st and 5 ave. Quicker service and better prices overall. read more

I was happy with this place the meal was decent , service was pleasant, and the food items were diverse... This would've been all good place but for one thing, I believe they overcharged me I ordered a small plate of rice beans and chicken stew which on the menu is $7 dollars , I had as an appetizer a bean cheese papusa, $5. I had only two beers and they charge me $24.50. Kick myself in the butt because I didn't realize it until I got home and looked up menu.com. I felt "estupido"!!!! read more

The pupusas are really,really good,rich in flavor and you taste authentic Central American flavor, the food is always fresh. Must try the hocharta drink. One and half complaints though, too rich for my blood* and the waitress** had a stank-ass attitude. That's why I gave em a three. *They used to be cheap back in the day, got expensive! **One of the waitresses was nasty, the light skin skinny one is nice. read more

Warm corona but good lunch specials. They don't have black beans. It was alright. I don't find it worth going back to

The best popusa place in brookyln and New York I'll say I've tried others and there bad love them

First time i ever at pupusas was at this place. its in a very mexicany part of park slope and my buddy told me that its his new go to spot so i had some high hopes going in. The pupusas were delicious. at 2 for 4 bucks we ordered the pork and bean ones. They were slightly crispy on the outside and nice and hot inside. YOu could pick them up without them falling apart, came with some sort of mexican colslaw and a red tomatoe based sauce on the side. Service was super friendly! read more

Had a nice drunken meal here. I don't know what pupusas are so I didn't have that insight (next time, though) but my food was pretty good. I ordered the BBQ chicken platter with rice and beans. The chicken was huge and the sauce was pretty good. I would have liked the rice and beans to have been a bit better but it was nothing hot sauce couldn't save. Service was really good and the prices are fair. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here but as I live less than a block away, this is a good protein rich option to consider. They take credit cards with a 10 dollar minimum - they show soccer and serve breakfast, thus, it's a multipurpose setting read more

Love dis place dis is my first go to when I think of great Latin food it's always fresh and very tasty the waitresses are very courteous and attentive I recommend the breaded shrimp and the pork chops u won't be disappointed trust a foodie when they tell you read more

I think about these pupusas daily, probably the best in NY. Totally worth the trek if you're far. I like stopping by a few times a year even though I've moved just for pupusas. If you try anything else on their menu it is also good, filling, big portions. But....the pupusas, they're literally perfect. read more

My partner is Salvadoran, and on our first date, he took me to a Salvadoran restaurant that we don't get to since he made the move here to BK. Since then we've been on the hunt for a good, sit-down spot that we don't have to travel far to. A friend told me about El Continental, so I decided to try it out for our second anniversary yesterday, and it was a great choice! He was over the moon and loved everything, so we will definitely be returning! read more

I'm not an expert on el Salvadoran food, except for my friend's homemade pupusas and tamales from her mom. She took me here and said it was the next best thing, she was right! I love pupusas and tamales. I had the cheese and vegetable pupusas, one of the sauces on the side was definitely too spicy for me but the other one was milder and more flavorful to my liking. I also got tamales, it comes with two per order and they were big. Much bigger than some of the ones I've had from some taco joints. It was weird because i got chicken ones, they both had chicken filling but.. they weren't the same. My friend was assuming they were probably wrapped at different times by different people? All in all, well worth the money for their portions. I will be back to have more pupusas. read more

El Continental is a great place to get a delicious Salvadorean meal at an amazingly low price. The pupusas are delicious and the curtido (cole slaw) is yummy. I once ordered 78 pupusas for a work venue. They were made to order and were ready in no time. My colleagues loved them! You have to try this place at least once. read more
