El Azteca Y El Guanaco - New York

The food at this restaurant is fresh and delicious, and the outdoor seating is comfortable. We both ordered fish, and the portions were generous. The only reason I am giving it 4 stars instead of 5 (and I am basing my rating not on high-end restaurants but on similar, more affordable local ones) is because it was a bit challenging to get the waitstaff's attention.

The food was not worth it. There was only a small portion of rice and the meat was not very tasty. It did not even resemble traditional carne asada. The only good things about this dish were the chimol and the horchata.

Terrific little shop in the Heights, friendly staff and delicious pupusas. Highly recommend!

Great food, but service takes sooooo long! It has recently changed to El Azteca y El Guanaco so they have more business and greater variety. I 've always enjoyed their food and their pupusas have never failed me. They are expensive and it hurts me each time but the food makes up for it. It always fills me up too. As a Salvadoreña from El Salvador... these are some amazing pupusas. I just wish they would sell cebada : But when does a salvi restaurant actually have cebada‍

This is a hidden gem! We went in and quickly grabbed a table in such a busy area! I came in wanting pupusas but decided to order a quesadilla and they quickly let me know they could not make the quesadillas. I was in a rush and knew they would have great pupusas and I was not disappointed. These were the best pupusas I've ever had ! Realising they were also only $2.50, allowed my choice to be done quickly! I wasn't starving so 2 filled me up. They estimated it would take 15 minutes to cook and it took a little under that. They do speak Spanish so if you don't speak Spanish you might have to look up photos point at the menu but it is worth it! Pro tip: add the sauce on the table that looks like ketchup to your pupusas.
