Mama Tere is a Salvadoran spot that just opened in 2019 where you can get some fluffy, pupusas stuffed with things like beans, cheese, and edible flowers. Sit at the bar, and you can watch them being made. It’s a beautiful process. And once you finish one of these flattened balls of masa, have some steak or beef stew. This is exactly the kind of place where you’ll want to eat once a week.
Bahia is a Salvadoran spot in Williamsburg that’s great for a casual group meal. Order some pork chops, and get at least one pupusa.
Tacos Matamoros in Sunset Park is a great spot to share Mexican food with a group at lunch or dinner.
Taco Mix in Industry City is the second outpost of a famous counter spot in East Harlem that makes extremely good al pastor tacos.
Parlay is a coffee shop in Sunset Park with beer, wine, and a full menu of things like a fried chicken sandwich and some extremely good curry.
