El Nuevo Izalco

Pupusas are secretive things, hiding as they do their insides with a tortilla made from maize flour. We're not experts, but we're quite fond of the four we tried at El Nuevo Izalco: queso, frijoles, chicharron, and revuelta (everything mixed together!). We also got some forgettable chorizo and more memorable fried plaintains. Topped with curtido (pickled cabbage) and a spoonful of the traditional watery tomato sauce, these pupusas were a snack we can't resist talking about. Sorry, guys, but betraying you is the most delicious thing we've done recently in Queens.
