Pupusas Ridgewood

This Ridgewood spot is the size of a phone booth, and it’s home to some of the finest pupusas in NYC. The key is in the fillings, which run from the classic revueltas and loroco (always a good choice) to the less common nopal and huitlacoche. For around $4, you can walk away with a very substantial snack dripping with melted cheese. Pupusas Ridgewood also tends to have a bunch of daily specials—like tacos, burritos, tortas, and picaditas—and they’re worth your time as well. Try the tamales, or the oregano-heavy pozole blanco with fatty chunks of pork. Given the lack of tables and standing room, you will, obviously, have to take your food to go.
