Absolutely the most delicious pupusas you can have an all Park Slope Brooklyn. When I tell you delicious and affordable. A variety of chooses freshly made Juices. We love the cabbage slaw.
Best El Salvadorian restaurant in Brooklyn. Hands down.
This place offers Central American style food, the owners who keep the place running are some hard-working people. The wait times are fair even when the place seems to be busy, I look forward to eating here after Sunday service 👌
The atmosphere, the food, its all great. Fried fish and plantains were simple and delicious.
I ordered pupusas and they were the best I had in Brooklyn.The best ones were the beans & cheese ones.They were moist inside with a bit of a crunch outside.It waited a little over 40 minutes in the restaurant, so l suggest ordering ahead of time.
I come here on the weekends sometimes for their breakfast as its not far from home and for what I order Im not disappointed. If you try one thing here make sure its the pupusas as they are very delicious. Everything else in my opinion is not as tasty. The service is good, but some things are definitely not fresh and you can tell. I think it has great potential but just needs an extra push.
Delicious authentic Salvadorian food. Meats are always juicy and tender. My favorite dishes: Beef stew, Broil fish, pork shoulder. Including their tamales and pupusas (mixed) with there chilled pickled cabbage. Natural Fruit shakes passion and orchata (sweeten rice milk w/a dash of cinnamon is my favorite refreshing home made drink. Owners are very pleasant and the atmosphere is welcoming...great place to dine in...for all ages.
If you want to eat good pupusas heres the place to come.. tasty flavorful and freshly made. The cabbage is good to. But I gave it 3 stars because the food is not what expected! Needs flavor and freshness to rice and salads.
The food there is always good.
I went here with my friend back in November. The food was delicious! Especially the pupusas :) go here if you want to try Salvadoran food and want to support a local business
Great place for traditional Salvadorean food. Big portions as well. The popusas revueltas with a side of refried beans is a great small meal or large snack. Most of the staff speaks mostly Spanish so Ive had to translate for a few friends to make sure there isnt a miscommunication. I recommend to all.
This place was so good in the beginning 90s,Quality of Latin products were really good,you can test the spices and delicious cuisine flavors.but today its changed.Very good attention to serve..
I really like there pupusas! They dont give enough curtido to go with it. Maybe because it was takeout? We also ordered pork chicharrones and yucca fries. The meat was so dry that was inedible! Must have been sitting there for a long time! Very dissapointed
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!
Great service and delicious food. They have the best Pupusas in Brooklyn!
Great place to have some pupusas
The food was good I liked going there to get food but not too long ago I went and there was a roach by the counter I told the man behind it and he clean it fast so no one can see smh I get it, but It turned my stomach and I feel like there’s probably more where that came from and maybe in the food 😩. Like I said the food is good but that roach just ruined it.
BEST. PUPUSAS. OF ALL TIME. The restaurant has a fun vibe to it also - maybe the fully stocked bar they randomly have? Enjoy Continental pupusas before the rest of the world realizes just how amazing pupusas are and put them on every other corner in NYC!
Great food, great service!
It was hot night out, no air conditioning. We waited about 20 minutes before a menu was handed to us and another 20 before they took our order. The waitress was rude. But the food was really good which sucks but I wont be returning here.
The food was deliciousPupusas de espinacas y quesoPupusas of Spinach with cheeseThis a Salvadorian dish very popular here and #1 also in El Salvador
Been going here for 30 years, since I was a kid; The best pupusas in Brooklyn hands down!
The pupusas were good, we also ordered chicharrón de pollo (fried chicken chunks) which was fried for so long he meat became a dusty texture. Basic rice and beans were good and the pollo a la parrilla (grilled chicken). This food is elsalvadorean you wont get mojo (garlic/olive oil sauce) with your fried yuca.
4-stars only for their business hours. I do love that theyre open until midnight, but the prices are steep. 20 pupusas + 3 drinks=$78.
I ate a piece of plastic in my cheese burger and then decided to ask for the cheese burger free but he said no ill just get you a new one. Didnt really care that I could have swallowed the piece of plastic so this review is definitely valid.
Unique Spanish food u can get Spanish fool anywhere in New York but not like this pupusas are to die for soon good I forgot to snap a pic
Love the papusas !! The food is very good as well.
Food was cold, no flavor, and utensils were dirty. I dont understand how they got an A. I would not recommend this place to anyone. If you want to try some good salvadorean food I recommend La Bahia.
I finally have a Salvadoran restaurant for pupusas and tamales de elote con crema
Its almost perfect. Good atention. I like the staff but Í think that need more decoration because is a Salvadorean restaurant... they have a delicious food...
Extremely clean! Got a A in front of door. You can see right into the kitchen. prices were reasonable, great for familys, food was delicious and waitresses were very nice.
Is there such thing as a ZERO star because this place is horrible, I have never had such a disgusting seas food plate in my life, don’t recommended, dirty utensils,cold food and horrible tamal de elotes. First time trying this restaurant in man years again and the last, I greatly recommend LA BAHIA In bushwick.
Its was a long wait and the packing wasnt great (my bag broke right after I left the store) the food was good.
Great service, amazing food, and will definitely be recommending and coming back for more! The pupusas are perfect.
Came here to order pupusas they are delicious and normal priced not bad will go back try something else.
Great food, Service and staff. Overall its one of the best places to eat, hang out with friends and more.
Food and service was great
Food was great ,filled with taste. Clean and staff is prompt. We had almost 1 or everything. All was so good !!!
Old school latin charm with great food. Doesnt get much better as far as Im concerned
I was there once and will never go again the waitress had preferences for her regular customers we ordered and the food that we ordered was over cooked and the pupusas taste terrible
Good food and there best seller is called pupusas.
Nice cozy looking Latin flavor restaurant. Food good, service good, staff is very friendly and willing to accommodate.

Pupusas. If youve never had it, try it. Its a very simple dish, tortilla dough with puree beans in the middle.

Delicious food
Really expensive and the pupusas was not so good
I had not visited that restaurant for 18 years. They are still the same. The same quality and taste as always. Very rich food and flavored home. Very good attention and more than generous portions. I will be back in another 18 years
The food is rich, but !! The AWFUL service, after they deliver your food, they never come close to see if !! One needs something, I had to stop to ask for napkins, then to stop again, to ask for something to drink. And finally I stopped again so that they made me some popusas to take away,Their customer service is lousy.We ordered 12 popusas to eat there and they only gave us a bowl with the vegetables that popusas have, a bowl for 12 popusas ???
It is a very comfortable place good view here in Brooklyn good beds bathroom very clean the place is very good
Super recommended this Salvadoran restaurant, after searching in different restaurants I finally found a place where they make very delicious pupusas, they are well filled and not greasy, they have a lot of variety on the menu and I liked the customer service. If I would return 💯💯💯
Very good everything
I love the food they have in good season, the meats are fresh and that counts for a lot that you leave happy with what you ate com
Delicious food! Excellent service, I loved coming back to this place after such a long time and seeing that it is still excellent !!!
The food takes time to be ready, and too dry, my friend. I ask for fish and it looked like he had been given a piece of wood instead
Good place normal food and shrimp I didnt like it but I did give it a try and they make a good soup
The waitress was friendly but very cold inside the restaurant .... you should see more drink options. Excellent music.
The food is super delicious. Nothing to complain about. And his pupusas specialty.
A star for the bad attitude that an employee can give a customer.One star cuz the bad attitude an employee can give to customer.
The food is delicious 👍
Good place to go to eat ñe some things are missing but good atmosphere
Miss Mariela moss you are very wrong this is one of the best places where you can eat clean and cheap I invite you to come to the kitchen at any time.
It is a clean RESTORANT and they do not take long to attend their food is very good similar to PERUANA
Nice little sister at the front desk
They need to improve the quality of the food (take time and prove what they are serving the customers).
The best place to have a good time in BKFood is the best in town
Friendly attention, excellent flavor, prices similar to others in this area
Typical dishes and good price, the service is somewhat delayed.

2021-10-28Papusas are super valid. Definitely a 5/5 for the papusas.The empanadas and the burger was OK.Would definitely come back and the waiters are very friendly.

2022-07-06If I can give them zero ⭐ I will but I cant pupusas the worst I ever eat
Review №3
2018-07-22Great place for regional Central American fare. Chicken Tamales were great, but I come here for pupusas! The bean and chicharrón are amazing and the toppings are great. Ask for their jalapeno sauce for an added kick. Great prices and nice homey interior! Highly recommended!

2021-12-26I ordered and paid $18!!!! and waited 20 minutes for a Shrimp Soup. There were only 3 shrimp with noodles and carrots..what kind of asopao is that?!?!?! I called and they called me a liar that there is no way that there were 3 shrimp in there and that I must of eaten it!!!! what they should of had done and said.. what can we do for you, our customer. It was only after I said that I was going to find every possible way to leave a correct review of how rude and unprofessional they are that the lady who answered changed her tune. I have been going there for years and this is NO WAY ALONG TIME CUSTOMER SHOULD BE TREATED?? CALLED A LIAR.Not a place to feel as if your hard earned money is well spent. Many other wonderful restaurants that truly value their customers.

2019-10-13The pupusas are soooo amazing with the cabbage topping... I live in Staten island and I go all the way to Brooklyn just for this pupusas.. the corn tamales are good, wish they were a little bigger, but they still really tasty and filling

Review №9
2021-10-13The place looks beautiful and clean. I Ordered white rice with bean and chicken stew to go.The rice and beans were ok, but the chicken stew looked like chicken soup that I had to call Resturant to see if they gave me the wrong order and was told no that how the chicken stew looks. So all I ate was just rice and beans. Waste of $14

2021-07-15I had a great dinner here with three others, especially as we arrived at prime time, 6:30pm, and were able to get a table of our choosing. In July 2021, they had all windows open, outdoor dining and the staff wore masks which was comforting. They got four stars as their carne guisada (beef stew) was a bit bland and service was spotty with appetizers coming after the entree and the wrong beers being served.They are not wheelchair accessible unfortunately.
