Bahia
"Never had Salvadoran food? Do yourself a favor and try Bahía before everyone else discovers it. The atmosphere is bland, but the food is amazing," says FreeWilliamsburg. Amy Allison for New York magazine says, "A bottle of El Salvadoran Suprema beer is really the best complement to savory pupusas (filled with meat or zucchini and cheese). The sweetness of Bahia's fried plantains is balanced perfectly with their outstanding homemade sour cream, though fresh seafood dishes are a welcome contrast to the fried appetizers—particularly the delicious shrimp ceviche."
Time Out New York recommends Bahia's pupusas, too: "Pupusas, stuffed cornmeal tortillas that are a matter of national pride in El Salvador, are top-shelf. Order one of each snack-size treat (chicken, pork, zucchini, bean and cheese) and call it dinner." And Eric Asimov for the New York Times writes, "Other dishes... can be fabulous, such as a mess of fried yuca with chunks of fried pork. Don't pass up horchata, a sweet iced rice drink with cinnamon and cocoa that has a wonderful, almost malty flavor." What's your take on Bahia?

Another great place on Grand Street. The owners of the restaurant are all three from El Salvador. Authentic Salvadorian cuisine. They even import the cheese from there. The typical dishes are the pupusas or the plato typico. Their soups are delicious especially the sopa de res and sopa de mariscos! One of my all time favourite is the Carne enchilada or the cevice de camaron. I would recommend the tiramisu or the flan for dessert. Their lunch specials are a steal! Overall the prices are great.
The staff is very friendly and they open until 11pm if you tell them nicely that you are starving ;)

Sorry it is not 'carne enchilada' but enchilada de carne.
