The leaky, greasy chicken patties or pastels de pollo with a watery dipping sauce ‍
Nikki B.

I used to order from this spot years ago. The chicken sandwich with fries was huge. It was a chicken breast fried well done, seasoned on toasted big bun with lettuce and tomato and onion. This time I ordered it reflecting on the past. Yet, I saw some new items on the menu. Chicken patties, tamales. I was excited. When my order arrived the chicken patties were so greasy , the oil was leaking out of the bag. It arrived with a sauce and cabbage/slaw in a mini plastic bag together. The slaw was loose! The chicken burger I remembered was now 4 chicken tenders, sauce lettuce and tomato. But the hidden gem of the meal was the chicken tamale. It reminded me of a homemade tamale. It had chicken bits in it, some mixed vegetables all wrapped up in foil in a banana leaf. Very tasty. I don't know in management or just the overall problems with owning a business in Bklyn. Time has definitely changed. Now my expectations have too.

Best pupusas  that taste just like my Pueblo, Chalchuapa

Believe me when I tell you these are the closest to authentic Salvadorian cuisine you can get in all of the USA. Everything taste so amazing and it's made with love. If you're lucky when you go and get a chance to meet the owner you'll be delighted to know she's the sweetest person you'll ever meet and you'll be able to feel that she takes pride in her restaurant. I highly recommend if you're even in NY you must make a trip to eat here. PURE DELICIOUSNESS

If you're looking for a delicious pupusa, look no further. The pupusas here hit the spot. And while it may see like a lot of cheese, get the cheese on top 10/10 worth it. The pork pupusa was quite delicious, but the winner for me was the squash pupusa - I had never had one before and it was wonderful. If you're not in Brooklyn, this place is worth the trip!

Chicken tamale
Amy W.

Not a fan of the pupusas they are weirdly small, they are flavorless and the cortido is just ok its nothing to write home about. The chicken tamale was good. I wont be returning as I can go to Continental Restaurant in Brooklyn for better tasting pupusas. The customer service was ok but it was just too many hands in the kitchen. They cook right behind the counter and it was about 6 people there and there was alot of talking going on over the food being prepared.

Varied pupusas
Roberto L.

We went today and enjoy of really delicious pupusas, we order a variety of flavors and mixs, as well as a delicious side of yuca frita and chicharron, you can let your imagination run free and it will probably taste great as well. They have two tables outside for you to be able to eat there in the spot without feeling COVID compromise. The staff is nice and helpful. Definitely this is a recommended place.

They serve raw food. I'm absolutely appalled by this. The order had arrived very quickly but this is just disgusting.

I stopped by with a friend. This is a casual place, but had some nice seating in a semi-outdoor covered area. The pupusas were great.

Salvatoria Kitchen and Bar is a great option if you're looking for a sit-down spot for pupusas. I…read morewas pleasantly surprised that the pupusas were still reasonably priced for a full-service restaurant and bar, at around $4 each. They offer a good variety of fillings. My favorite was the jalapeño and cheese, which have a nice kick to them. The yuca frita was crispy but not oily, and made for a great appetizer before the pupusas. We came during happy hour and took advantage of the drink specials. The red sangria and margaritas were only $8 a glass and they were both strong and tasty, though I preferred the sangria slightly more. The music at Salvatoria was great and made for a nice atmosphere, with current Latino hits playing in the background. My only note, and it's minor, is that the curtido wasn't as good as I've had at other places. They do give you a good amount, but it lacked some of the crunch and acidity that a great curtido needs to balance out the pupusas. Overall, Salvatoria Kitchen and Bar delivers on food, value, and atmosphere. The bill for four pupusas, two drinks, and an order of yuca frita came out to just $45 before tip.

Another place i got to check off from my "must go" list. I…read morehad never had pupusas nor picadas and this was life changing on so many level!!! I was already kind of full but the entrees we got were also very delicious. I wish I knew how to cook fish or chicken that juicy but keeping the outside crunchy-crispy. 10/10 for all the food. Idk why but the music was so upbeat and it kept me feel rushed for some reason but that might be just me! Haha The service was great, the water kept getting filled and they were very attentive. Would definitely come back again!

As a vegetarian, I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant. I asked about manteca (lard) in the…read morebeans, and the staff took it upon themselves to assure me that there was no pork, no beef products in any of the non-meat dishes. They were so kind and understanding, and made great suggestions for vegetarian items. We took a bunch of pupusas, with spinach, loroco (edible flower), beans and mushroom, all with cheese as well. It doesn't say on the menu, but the $3.50 per pupusa actually includes sauce and coleslaw (that's why there's a two pupusas minimum). There's also guacamole, rice, plantains... everything made to order and quite fast. Pay cash or card. Order to go or stay here. There's a TV but the volume is low enough to talk over it. Restroom in the back.

Which were freshly made so it took sometime. They were good as is but, amazing we with the Curtis and salsa. Salmon, yellow rice, Ben's, and steamed vegetable. Very fresh and delicious. BBQ chicken and rib platter with white rice, beans, sweet plantains, and steamed vegetable. Perfect combo to satisfy my BBQ craving. It was delicious. While I was waiting for the pupusas. Luis had me try a chicken tamale and soda on the house. The tamale was amazing and he showed me how they special wrap them. If you are in the area..pop in for some amazing service and food

Desperate for something to eat and nothing on 14th Ave we wandered over to 13th and stumbled upon a…read moregroup of several restaurants, not the healthiest of cuisines but appetizing enough, which was all we needed at 2pm on a chilly Sunday. We decided to try Morritos a small nondescript diner-like cafe with about five small square tables lined up against one wall and a long bar with stools opposite.which extended the length of the restaurant; a large El Salvadorian flag hanging in the front window. We sat at the bar and ordered three Papusas and a chicken tamale. Firstly the tamale was delicious, fresh, moist and chicken seasoned well with small olives and mild spices. it was a very pleasant surprise and we were glad we'd decided to try it, probably the best tamale I've had outside of Mexico (not that I've tried many here). We also ordered a Shrimp, Chicken and Spinach Papusa but they didn't have shrimp at the time so we opted for Cheese & Bean instead. The Papusas were made and cooked right in front of us (while sitting at the bar) they were fresh, soft in the center and slightly crispy on the bottom, flavors were simple, light and good. Not a huge amount of ingredients/filling but I imagine that's how they're meant to be and we were more than satisfied with our decision. Melted cheese oozing from the pancake like dough, small side of coleslaw and sauce for topping. Next time we'll ask for green chili sauce on the side too (noticed someone else order them as we were wrapping up). The ladies cooking and serving were efficient, sweet and prompt. It seemed only one woman spoke English and if you're in the mood for something simple and inexpensive give it a go. This place deserves 4 stars for all that it is.

This is arguably one of the worst experiences I've ever had a restaurant in New York City. As a…read morenative New Yorker I have gone to restaurants with every type of cuisine possible and I have never been treated in a disrespectful manner simply because I do not speak the native tongue. Not only was I ignored after multiple attempts to try to engage the servers but others who arrived after me were served immediately. This is shameful and unconscionable behavior in this day and age in a city such as ours. Needless to say I will never return to this establishment and I encourage anyone who reads this review to consider not going to this establishment either. Unfortunately Yelp does not give the option of zero stars as this restaurant certainly does not deserve the one star that appears next to this rating.
