  1. If you've never had a pupusa, you need to drop everything you're doing right now and head over to the Red Hook ball fields… stat!  I mean like right now.  I'm not kidding.  Why in god's name are you still reading??

    Well okay fine if you're going to be stubborn, here's the deal: Solber is an excellent place to get your introduction into this fine El Salvadorian dish.  Basically it's like an arepa, only better.  In a former life I was used to having these on a regular basis, but when I moved out here I thought I had given them up.  Imagine my surprise on strolling through Smorgasburg to happen upon the stall they have there.  I was in heaven.  And then I learned the truck was here at the ball fields… even better!

    Onto the food: I had the bacalao (cod), and the jalapeño and cheese pupusas.  For $6, it's a good value and it came with the standard sides: cabbage, jalapeños, pickled onions, tomato sauce and sour cream.  Simple and big on taste.  Top it off with a horchata and you're good to go. There are also tamales to be had here… next time.

  2. TODO:

    Yelp won't let me put this restaurant on a list unless I write a review (Yelp, please change this policy!)

    Therefore, this is a stub review for the purpose of populating my list.  I'll write the review later.

    However, whatever rating I give the restaurant with this stub review is the rating I'd give the restaurant with a real review.

  3. YUM!! I was super excited to try them at Brooklyn Flea Market since 1) I never go to Red Hook and 2) they just won the Vendy Awards!

    Pupusas are stuffed corn tortillas common in El Salador and Guatemala. My friend and I shared the sample platter so we tried the chicken pupusa, the chicken tamales, chorizo, maduros, and the different pickled vegetable toppings. The pupusa itself is very unique from anything I've tried that is Latin American. It is crisp outside but similar to an arepa inside. The chopped up chicken inside is deliciously seasoned and eat it with sour cream and a spicy sauce and it is incredibly satisfying. You and your stomach will be very happy. The tamales is also delicious but I think I prefer the Puerto Rican version. That sample platter was $10 and enough food for 2 girls! And the crew is so nice and I was congratulating them on their Vendy win and the aguela was so nice and friendly and thanking me and all. And of course, giving me a bigger portion while she's at it.

    So if you're ever in Red Hook or at Brooklyn Flea go check out their food!
