Jose the owner is wonderful. He's so nice and polite. I catered New Years from him and the food was fantastic. Empanadas were super delicious and a shrimp dish with brocco and peppers in a delicious sauce. I've catered around northport and this was the best !

ive been going to this place for years. the place doesnt look like much and is usually empty. the food takes very long to get even for a takeout order usually waiting about 25-40 mins waiting for the order to be ready. another problem is the phone number that is listed for them online and in the store isnt a real phone line, its either the wrong number or the line is disconnected, it makes it impossible to call in an order for pickup so your left waiting there for a long time waiting for your order. another thing is the bathrooms are disgusting. overall i continue to go here because they have the most amazing empandas i have ever had on long island, and they are so cheap

Originally from the south shore and now residing in E. Northport, I can tell you with confidence that this is authentic and top quality Central American cuisine that is a true hidden gem. The place isn't pretty but anyone with true appreciation of soul food knows this is usually the case. The pupusas are perfect and stuffed generously when ordered with cheese and beef. Everything I've ordered via takeout from here from has been excellent. Dining in was even better. The staff is genuinely friendly and family oriented. This place gladly has my regular business.

I was prepared for the worst, honestly. My takeout meal took over 30 minutes to make. Thirty. And the place was empty. The bare-bones urban bodega decor was ugly in a charming kind of way. Shelves contained an odd assortment of goods for sale, from knockoff perfumes to maroon-colored sugar cookies. I finally went to pay. Vegetarian burrito, spinach pupusa, corn tamale, and a large serving of horchata came out to an unbelievable $11 including tax. $11? That's so cheap. Too cheap. This can't be good. I went home and warily took a bite of my corn tamale. And it was fucking amazing. It was like your El Salvadorian grandma went to culinary school and made her signature dishes for you right in her own kitchen with the freshest ingredients. I realized that my meal took 30 minutes to make because NOTHING was premade. There was no day-old guac blend in my burrito; instead, there was an avocado, ripened to perfection, that had just been peeled. The spinach & cheese pupusa was seemingly crafted by gods--warm, savory, expertly cooked, light yet filling, and sitting atop an incredibly delicious cabbage salad in chile sauce. My meal had an amazing non-greasy lightness that I've never before experienced at other restaurants with similar food. Hands down way better than Besito, and that's saying something. And did I mention it was $11 for a full dinner? Anyway, that was last night. You can guess where I'm about to pick up dinner. Again. Moral: do not judge a book by its cover. This new place in town is a hidden gem. GO. Asap.
