El Pulgarcito de America — Restaurant in New York

Hands down one of Brooklyn hidden gems.

When it comes to Salvadorian dishes it could be a challenge finding great spot in New York and many people haven’t been expose to it .

When you walk in nothing fancy , many locals, almost feels stuck in the 80s but we here for the food .

The service is okay pretty fast no much explanation just menu , the servers also taking phone order and counter order’s packing and charging, so can’t blame them.

But the food was awesome many popusa option and rice popusa which I never seen before. Tamal de elote my favorite and mix popusa is my favorite.

I needed to come back, so I invited some friends from Salvador and they also expressed “ they just like home “.

I was still not convince and invited more friends from Salvador they also confirm best popusa in town the closet popusa are located in Long Island. Very satisfied with meals.

The last time I visited I happen to run into the originals friends from Salvador at this location they travel from queens to eat so great popusa !

Hope you...

UPDATE : THEY HAVE A SIGN NOW !!! LOL

What a hidden gem. No sign outside, you will walk right by it and never know u missed it. That's how I like it. This place has been here forever, and they don't even have a sign, and its always busy with Central American customers, thats how u know it's delicious and authentic. The pupusas are huge and loaded with generous amounts of cheese, beans, meat, in any combination you want. The decor is prerty terrible and the place looks old and in serious need of renovations, but you don't come here to eat the wallpaper. This us the kind of place that when you find it, you almost want to keep it your own little secret but like me you also just want to share it and scream it to everyone that they are seriously missing out by not coming here. DO YOURSELF A HUGE FAVOR AND MAKE THE TRIP HERE. it's in EAST NY ... so the neighborhood can be a bit offputting if your arent local, but come daytime and...

My friends and I are regulars here, and it is the best pupuseria I've ever had the pleasure of eating at...Honestly, the service sucks if you eat there, it's better to do take-out...Most of the decor is cheesy and unattractive...They DO have a jukebox which I find adds a vintage flair, but don't expect to hear the latest hot 100...Now the good part: The food is amazing...Crispy pupusas are served piping hot with mozzarella cheese oozing out of the edges...Fresh tortillas are hot and fluffy and beans are fried and whipped to perfection...Fresh juices and horchata (an almond based drink) are blended and served ice-cold...If you love Salvadorian food, and don't mind taking a trip to Cypress Hills, (please take caution) I would definitely recommend you to visit this authentic...
