GET THE MANGO/PINEAPPLE/ORANGE SMOOTHIE- insanely good!!! The pupusas I got were insanely good!! First time having a pupusa and I will be back for more!!! Great prices, fantastic customer service (family and woman owned!), not a fancy place by any means but good quality food!!! They also make to order so don't think it's going to be super fast but it's also not a long wait and it's worth it! Fresh is always best.

They do not provide sufficient curtido (relish) for the pupusas as other restaurants typically do. See photo of container in comparison to a KCup for reference for an order of 5 pupusas.They demand to charge you a considerable fee for any extra requests and they are persistent in making no exceptions. If they would provide enough to begin with, there wouldn’t be a need to ask for more.Not a very customer friendly / retention approach.

Best pupusas in New York City. Everything they serve is home made and following authentic recipes from El Salvador.The pickled cabbage that comes with the pupusas is so delicious. The couple that owns this restaurant also prepare Mexican food and drinks. Tamarind and horchata drinks make me remember with warmth the food of my childhood in Santa Ana. I highly recommend Ricas Pupusas to anyone that wants to enjoy traditional food from El Salvador.

My favorite Pupusas place and I have looked for many Salvadoran restaurant places but I never liked them. 4 years ago I moved to Sunnyside and this place is a hidden treasure with the best delicious pupusas.

There are few things I love more in this world than a sweet corn tamale with sour cream, following closely behind that is my love for pupusas and boy did this place deliver. I ordered online and picked up, the space was sweet and friendly and woman at the counter was SO NICE and to top it all off my food was ready early. I got two vegetarian pupusas (customizable!) and a tamale and of course could not say no to some tres leches which- while everything was fantastic- was SO fantastic it deserves a special shout-out. My only complaint is everything was so great I don't have any left over. Pupusa paradise. 1000/10.Vegetarian options: There's plenty and all of them are perfect

The papusas are so unbelievably good. Absolute fire. 10/10 would come back for the papusas. I had to order more after getting my first because they are that good. Will definitely be back.
I live in Italy but when I visit New York this restaurant is one of my stops! The lady is very friendly, the pupusas are divine! I recommend it!

I wasn't sure what to get so the host was very sweet in giving me the recommendations and introducing what the foods are!

The pupusas were great, super fresh. They're making/ stuffing them from scratch as you order so expect a little wait. Worth every minute though. I had been missing good pupusas when I moved to NY, happy to have found this spot. Support local businesses!!!
