Crispy Pupusas And Crab With Plantains In Jamaica
Taste Salvadoran cooking at El Comal Pupuseria, from tamales de elote to casamiento.
🫓 Beyond The Pupusa
El Comal Pupuseria keeps the setting small, simple, and clean on Hillside Avenue in Jamaica, Queens. The Salvadoran kitchen puts crispy pupusas at the center of the meal, including a version stuffed with cheese and loroco. Settle into the unpretentious room and start there, with a filling that gives you a clear place to begin.
The menu stretches beyond those rounds into tamales de elote, casamiento, and beef soup. Then there is Cangrejofongo, the specialty built from mashed fried green plantains and crab meat. It is prepared from scratch, and that preparation can take time before the dish reaches your table. Give the kitchen room to make it rather than squeezing the stop into a rush.
The restaurant opens daily from 7 AM to 9 PM. When settling the bill, remember that an automatic tip charge is included, a policy to account for alongside your order.
