Pupuseria Bronx Reviews
Always fresh always delicious always polite and hospitable 🙌🏻❤️
Worth the wait, ignore the bad reviews, this place might take a few minutes to make the food but you can't beat quality.
So good. I literally got full with one and a half pupusa. The spot is small, nothing fancy, but food is very good. I get the chicharron y queso.
The pupusas here are never fail to always be delicious. If you want something tasty to eat you can count on these pupusas. The restaurant is very popular so you may have to wait a bit at peak times. Good cooking takes time. The pupusas come in many flavors such as beans, chicken, pork, jalapeno, spinach, cheese, and the not so common loroco and chipilin. I have eaten pupusas all over New York City and State. These are the best.
Did take out, this was one of the best pupusas I've had. Way bigger than ones made at other locations and it's small exterior you wouldn't even know its there. Definitely worth the trip. Tried loroco with cheese, jalepeno with cheese, revueltas [for those who want everything]. Definitely fulfilling. Expect to come back soon and order more
Come for the Pupusas, I usually get chicken and cheese. Jalapeño and cheese is also good and eat it with the cabbage and red and green sauce. Two Pupusas with everything above + drink will fill you up. They’re not as big a thick as they used to make them but still worth the price and delicious.
The food is a 10/10. The wait is a little long but doesn’t really bother me. Do NOT order over the phone if you want your order to be done correctly. It’s been more than 3 times that we order over the phone and get there to a wrong order. If we catch it, they redo it (1 time with a bit of attitude), if we don’t catch it then just gotta eat whatever they gave us.
Good food I like the Baleadas and Pupusa there
i ordered 2 different pupusas (pollo, queso y frijoles/pollo y queso) with an horchata. the horchata was great as well as the food, although it is made to order so there is about a 20 minute wait time. would recommend tho! [ menus i seen on reviews were outdated so maybe this will help other ]
The place is clean, the decor simple and plain. Only one server, overworked. Pupusas were delicious. Made to order which brings me to my only serious complaint. Horrendously long waiting time. Unbelievable, the server informed me that it would take 35 minutes. It took one hour and 10 minutes. As I waited, I saw customers told the same waiting time about half left. That's unfortunate as the food is really good Decent prices and good quality and quantity. They do deliver, which I found out at the end of my stay. My only advice to any customer, plan to stay for over an hour or call for pick-up about half an hour before you get your order. You'll be thankful.
This has been one of the most authentic pupuserias that I have tried here in NYC (not including Long Island). The pupusas were so good not too much maza and the filling was very authentic, like I was in a pupuseria en el salvador. The pupusas I ordered were queso con loroco and revueltas, the loroco tasted fresh and the cheese was that stringy cheese with some flavor not mozzarella cheese haha. The chicharon was one of the better tasting chicharon I've had and it was not watery or bland as other places. Another great thing about this place is the fact that they offer pupusas de maíz o de arroz which you do not see a lot of places do, and both were great. They have a couple of other Salvadoran dishes, but I gotta say the best thing I tried here was the empanadas de plátano. The only reason I am not giving them the 5 stars is because the wait for pupusas is close to an hour, so if you do decide to visit, just be ready to wait.
The food is good, but the service is the worst, they make you wait long time and treat you like you're asking for free food. They need classes for costumer services
Was told 25m. After getting there in 20m, was told 5 more. 15m go by. Place was empty.
First of all, this place suffers from the #1 issue most Central American restaurants suffer from, what's that? They take forever!!! Why? Why do we have to wait 1 hour + for 3 Pupusas and a soup? That's absolutely absurd, secondly, the food wasn't good, it just wasn't. I am fair with critiques, but this place is not good. I live in Rockland County and we have excellent Salvadorian Restaurants, exceptionally good food. This place comes nothing close to them, I will return & I cannot recommend it. Sorry, I don't like leaving bad reviews, but this place deserves a bad review.
