Salvadoran Restaurants near Elizabethport, NJ

“Great locally-owned Salvadoran restaurant found in the Seaport area. Daily lunch specials from heated trays as well as daily a la carte specials, such as tamales, pupusas, baleadas, etc. The pupusas revueltas are excellent.. cheesey, doughey goodness, served with a house-made flavorful salsa roja and curtido.“

“I stopped by on my way home from the gym. I order an al pastor burrito. It was really seasoned well and flavorful. It wasn't small and it wasn't huge either. It was a good size. I left feeling full but not stuffed. I'm looking forward to trying their tacos.“

“It was our first time trying Salvadorian food and must say, we were very impressed!! The pupusas (stuffed flatbread made out of corn or rice flour) were incredible. We tried two different varieties - Loroco (a herb) with cheese and squash with cheese. There are several vegetarian filling options for the pupusas. We also had the pechuga a la plancha (chicken breast) and the typical breakfast. Both were delicious, with such a great mix of flavours. They also sell many local snacks and drinks. Overall, we loved this place and it felt great trying out a new cuisine.Vegetarian options: Pupusas (flatbread made out of corn or rice flour) have many vegetarian selections. Two other dishes available for vegetarians.“

“Stopped by this local dot because I was HUNGRY! Lol. Also needed to get something before heading to my next appointment. I walked in and although the place was empty, the employee at the front was patient, helpful and friendly. I liked the decor and cleanliness of the establishment. You could tell they worked hard to keep this casual spot warm and inviting. Down to the flower vases on each table. I ordered the pupusa and chicken tacos. The food was flavorful and ingredients fresh. Even the radishes and cucumbers as garnish was fresh. I'll be back again. I love finding local spots with great food! Let me know if you have any to recommend.“

“On my way home from N.Y. I decided to Google for a Salvadorian Restaurant. Kyle's Restaurant reviews grabbed my attention, so I had to stop by and check it out. WOW! DELICIOUS ?. I'm a Jersey girl living in P.A. and will definitely drive just to eat at Kyle's. I also tasted the Horchata, such an authentic taste. And, of course, I had to grab some Salvadorian pastries. The atmosphere was great and the people were pleasant. ?????“

“I know a couple of pupusas spots in Elizabeth, but this one hits different. You can tell that filling is fresh, the way they’re made is spot on, and you can’t go wrong with the cortido and salsa. It’s a little spot on a corner and it feels like home inside there, there’s a bunch of other dishes as well that represent that country-home style of cooking from El Salvador and that’s what I love most about it. I definitely recommend it.“

“The chorizo and mixta pupusas are soooooo good! Best ones i’ve tasted since Willys place and they are fresh, made on the spot. The sopa de res is also good. I didn’t dine in but the place was clean and kitchen is within view of dining area. The staff was warm and the prices are fantastic.“

“The food here was delicious. I had a papa rellena and a chicken pupusas in addition to the mixed ones and also got a taste of my husbands baleadas. All around great food and strong flavors. It's a nice vibe decor wise and staff are super friendly. You can tell the food was made with love.“

“The most tastiest and divine pupusas I ever had. Fresh and full of love. You enter and choose either El Salvador to the left or Honduras to the right. the menu has plenty of dishes from these amazing countries.Enjoy and eating in is the best option.“

“I was looking for a really good pupusa spot, the only place I will go was in union city! Baby… this spot hit!! Freshly made pupusas, el curtido was delicious ? and to wash it down my cola champán!! Customer service was immaculate!! 10/10 definitely will be going back☺️oh and the place is so clean?“

“We went yesterday with my husband and my little son, we ate pupusas and he had chicken fingers with fries. Everything very rich and fresh. The pupusas were exquisite and the lady who served us was very professional. We recommend it and of course we will return soon.Convenient prices and very quiet place.“

“The other day I got, La Galera Centro Americana Restaurant, for lunch. I ordered their Meatballs w/ Black Rice & Red Beans. It was absolutely delicious! I asked the lady for more veggies than rice, and she happily obliged. I really loved their Meatballs, and also the Red Beans. Excellent flavors to combine. The ladies at the front desk were really nice and attentive. It seems like a nice, quaint, family type of place to eat. And for just a little over $10 was a complete steal. I’d def try this place again, their other menu items looked phenomenal. I’d also recommend to anyone in the, City of Orange, area looking for some decent Spanish food.“

“Ubereats order, the pupusas arrived cold. The taste was not bad. The only issue I had was that the drinks came opened driver can do anything to it or something may fall in it. It was raining and rain definitely got in. A plastic cover IS A MUST! The drinks had a bad smell it just took my appetite away. I would prefer to visit the location instead“

“Super delicious mouthwatering food, they take their time to cook it so call ahead to save time, food is truly authentic, service is very good. I am a native Salvadoran so don’t be fooled by the bad reviews from others, I’m a regular customer here because the service and quality of the food are one of the best, the owner makes sure she makes your food to the best quality standards in the food industry sanitation and food poising control certification is required for all cooks per owner’s policy.The atmosphere and Interior of the building are distracting making you doubt about what you are getting to eat. But the dishes are made like if your grandmother cooked it. Prices are very low in comparison to others.“

“So excited to find a real Costa Rican breakfast here!!! I lived in Costa Rica for five years, and this is the real deal. Gallo pinto, eggs, fried plantains, queso... Sooo good. Service was good, portions were generous, people were friendly, and the restaurant has incredible murals and some great Costa Rica decor. Five stars, will be back!“
