Frequently asked questions about El Salvador
El Salvador Brooklyn Reviews
EL SALVADOR 🇸🇻 Excerpt from Eat the World NYC: Quietly over the past decade or so, in addition to a few restaurants here and there, Central American-owned businesses have popped up offering money transfers and other services, and almost every Mexican grocery made sure to stock the goods that Guatemalans and Salvadorans were looking for to fill their homes. As Industry City attempts to mine the neighborhood for profit and give nothing in return except to those already privileged, Sunset Park's thriving communities continue to say no and show there is another way. EL SALVADORin is not only a bustling restaurant with an expansive menu, it stocks products from the country and coffees from the region.

The pupusas from El Salvadorin are very flavorful and extremely delicious. I definitely recommend ordering some.
The Best Pupusas, Tamales, Quesadilla & Atole de Elote.. Staff are always very welcoming. They also have products of El Salvador.
The quality here exists in a category without proper words. The restaurant has consistent positive vibes. The service team maintained the high standards of this establishment. My approach involves trying a new dish each time. Trying this spot is highly recommended.
Beautiful restaurant! Their dishes completely amazed me. The meal confirmed what others said. The staff makes each visit personal. Exceptionally flavorful food all around!
This place has attractive features. Workers: first-rate. Thorough and skilled. The entire food lineup satisfies completely. I feel completely relaxed at El Salvadorin. This restaurant is worth weekly returns!
The interior approach balances trend and timelessness. They go beyond what's expected here. El Salvadorin balances affordability with vegetable-rich dishes. Employees here listen with real interest. The menu is reasonably priced for wonderful dishes.
Men, the tamales was on point, pupusas wa on fire 🔥 really enjoy the food. It was so good that I had to order a take out. I leave in New Jersey, can't wait to go back to El Salvador Restaurant. Perhaps next Saturday 😋😁
Being forced to stay home and with so many restaurants closed...this food and grocery store saved the day! They deliver! Yay. I ordered tamales and Pupusas. Aww man, I'm so glad I did. The tamales were so moist and savory. The Pupusas were so delicious as well. I have been looking for a good place to get tamales from. I may never go back to my other tamales again. These set the bar.
It is very sad to see that some people take the time to say something negative. The food is very delicious. I invite you to enjoy. You will love the unique flavor.❤️
This place makes the best pupusas!!! Always fresh and delicious and curdito and sauce are superb! The staff is always nice too. It’s our favorite go to pupusas place.
Friendly environment and food was delicious Steam table has a fully loaded fried rice that is to die for. I loved everything and management aims to please
the tamales are excellent!

Came in looking for the pollo guisado lunch special and was given a nice filling plate and ordered a pupusa revuelta to go. The time to order was fairly quick but the pupusa took longer than I thought. The place seems to be managed by a few people and sold other products inside. Interior isn’t as cute as other restaurants in the area but the food was definitely delicious.

I really enjoy their pupusas, they’re amazing. Would recommend, it’s very rare to find a good pupusa place in Brooklyn but this was recommended to me and it’s great!

Whoever called this “pan con pollo salvadoreno” needs to have their citizenship removed forever!!!! This is a sad excuse for a sandwich PLS dont insult our gastronomy by selling this joke of a sandwich…. And dont call it salvadoran…. Pupusas are GREAT!!!
I usually order pupusas when I go here, and every visit is a different experience. Sometimes they’re absolutely delicious, but other times they fall short. For the price, I’d love to see more consistency in quality. Also, their listed opening time isn’t accurate—I’ve gone at 9 AM multiple times only to find them closed. If they could maintain their best level of quality, this place would be unbeatable. Right now, it feels like a gamble—you never know if you’re about to get top-tier pupusas or a letdown! But I will keep giving them a shot.

Honestly the food was great! But the sad part is how Loooong they take. No one is really available to take your order for one and then once you place your order it’s about a 30 minute wait. Then on top of that I ordered some things for take out and that was an additional 30 minutes. It’s sad because if they were any quicker this place would have some potential!!
