Jamaica Salvadoran Pupusas and Corn Tamales
Salvadoran pupusas and tamales from a Jamaica Avenue room in Queens.
🌽 A Choice of Dough
Pupusas start with a choice at Marina Restaurant, a Salvadoran kitchen on Jamaica Avenue in Queens. The kitchen prepares both corn and flour pupusas, giving you a reason to think about the dough before settling on your order. Start there, then take a look beyond that first plate. There is more to this comfort food stop than one familiar dish.
Elote tamales take the meal in another direction, alongside empanadas made with plantain and black beans. Keep a Salvadoran style horchata in the conversation, too. You can give each part of the menu its own attention, rather than letting your first craving decide the entire meal.
The restaurant opens Monday and Wednesday through Sunday from 8 AM to 8 PM and closes Tuesday. Pick an open day, bring your appetite, and make the trip about sitting down with Salvadoran cooking.
