El Comal Pupuseria
Welcome to El Comal Pupuseria, a delightful gem nestled in Jamaica, NY! This cozy eatery specializes in authentic Salvadoran cuisine, offering a range of handmade dishes that celebrate the rich flavors of El Salvador.
Located at 14860 Hillside Ave., El Comal is often referred to affectionately as a "hole in the wall," yet those who venture inside are met with a warm ambiance and friendly service. As one customer noted, it may not be fancy, but it certainly is a place where you can feel at home while enjoying your meal.
The highlight of El Comal's menu is undoubtedly their pupusas. These traditional stuffed corn tortillas are crafted from scratch, ensuring a crispy exterior and a satisfying interior. Customers rave about flavors like the cheese and loroco, while many consider their revuelta (pupusa filled with mixed meats and cheese) to be the best around. According to one loyal diner, "No one makes their pupusas like El Comal."
A standout dish not to be missed is the CANGREJOFONGO, a unique creation of mashed fried green plantains infused with succulent crab meat. As one customer expressed, the dish is worth the wait, showcasing the dedication to quality and authenticity that El Comal holds dear.
The menu doesn't stop with pupusas; don't overlook the beef soup that has been praised for its tenderness—meat that falls right off the bone. Pairing your meal with some tomato sauce and curtido (a tangy cabbage slaw) enhances the experience, making every bite a memorable one.
El Comal also offers a variety of refreshing beverages, such as horchata and tamarindo drinks, complementing the vibrant flavors of the food. For those considering delivery, rest assured, you can enjoy these delectable offerings from the comfort of your own home.

“ I have had a CANGREJOFONGO. It is mashed fried green plantain with crab meat. It tasted very well. No other place nearby makes this. It is prepared from scratch. It may take a while. The taste is worth the wait. I have had 3 pupusas with cheese and loroco. The tomatoe sauce has a great taste. The curtido also tastes good. I have also had a beef soup. This is so well cooked. The meat fell off the bone. They offered green hot sauce but it was not needed. I will continue coming here. They also do deliveries. ”
