Ecuadorian Comfort Food Fills a Nine Table Woodside Cafe
Order home cooking at El Sabroso, where salsa picante accompanies breakfast fare and lunch specials.
🍽️ Breakfast With Salsa Picante
El Sabroso puts Ecuadorian home cooking on the table in the Queens neighborhood of Woodside, on Roosevelt Avenue, with dishes made to order and the scent of the kitchen filling the room. The cafe has just nine tables, keeping the dining space compact. Traditional breakfast fare and lunch specials sit alongside salsa picante, a condiment to ask about as you choose your meal.
The lunch special is priced at 12 dollars. On packed days, one staff member may juggle seating, takeout orders and table service. Food typically reaches the table within ten minutes from the kitchen, though that timing is separate from the time needed to place an order.
Before heading over, remember that the cafe accepts cash or Zelle only. El Sabroso opens Monday and Wednesday through Sunday from 10 AM to 11 PM, with Tuesday as its weekly closing day.
