Pupusas at the Brooklyn Flea

On Saturday morning, R and I went down to the Brooklyn Flea to do some looking around. It was damp and started to rain when we started to browse so half the stuff was covered by plastic. We weren't looking for anything specific so we ended up just trying to figure out what we should eat since we were getting hungry. We decided to try the Salvadorian pupusas which neither of us had before. Pupusas are disk shaped, made of flour filled with cheese, meat, or other veggies, then grilled until golden. We opted to try the cheese and jalapeno version.





This was the ridiculously long and slow line for the goods.


The pupusas in all their glory. $5 for two pupusas, cabbage salad, creamy sauce, and all the picked peppers you can eat.


Our verdict? It was ok. Not the tastiest thing out there but pretty decent for the price. The line was not worth it though...

5 dollars is pretty high for pupusas in ny, they are usually a dollar each no matter whats inside, and the salad comes with it.

Bea, do you have a fav pupusa place you'd recommend? And a particular topping?
