The Best Pupusas in New York Are Right Next to a Brooklyn Soccer Field - Dining on a Dime

On this week’s Dining on a Dime, intrepid host Lucas Peterson heads out to Brooklyn in search of some street food - and finds it near a public park in Red Hook, a somewhat isolated peninsula in western Brooklyn between the Buttermilk Channel and Gowanus Bay. Known for once having heavy industry, it now serves as the home of a number of Latin American food vendors who set up shop on the street throughout the summertime.

God bless Janet the pupusa lady for hooking you up with so much salsa and curtido 🙏

[@christophergarcia467]

Gabrielle Andres Foreal places I been are stingy as hell

[@Guirolon]

Word, I feel like they weigh their Curtido and Salsa... they charge extra for a portion that size.

[@MoneyAli75]

Hey girl you on ig ?

[@edrinnnfuentes2925]

NAh thats the regular they not stingy here in nyc always get that much atleast from every place

[@GosuBreezy]

"This shit looks fuckin bomb" lmao caught me so off guard.

[@nicholasperry56]

Lucas is trying so hard to make Pupusas the next big food trend.... I wish him the best of luck - those things are insanely good.

[@smolchilli1712]

a super pupusa? a plantain pupusa? the world is truly a wonderful, limitless place just knowing that these exist in the world fills me with happiness

[@giffypophd]

I'm Salvi, the cheese and plantanos?? My god.

[@britday1]

Pupusas are life!!! I could eat them all the time.

[@alessandroramirez2169]

Brittany Day if you haven’t had the chance yet, there are ones that are made out of rice flour. They’re sturdier than the corn ones. Regardless, they’re all good!

[@scyllacw]

Those pupusas are one of my all-time favorite foods and going to the park and getting some pupusas, elotes, and agua fresca is a summer tradition!

[@rakoonpunk]

Not gonna lie Lucas swearing caught me off guard

[@cjmq0o]

Same here 😂

[@jaredmitchell1302]

I actually went back to make sure I heard it right. But I agree with him that plantain papusa looked the F-ing Bomb.

[@leosmithonbass]

it was a very heartfelt f-bomb.

[@lucaskwanpeterson2010]

MY BAD IT'S PLANTAIN MY VIEWERS ALWAYS KEEPING ME HONEST THANKS FOR WATCHING :-* :-*

[@ranielyfire]

[@satyamjha_2]

[@niklas8630]

Why do I watch this before going to bed? *Silence stomach!*

[@ZorshaBellydancer1]

😄😄

[@kevindeloscities]

Big ups to Lucas who eats pupusas like a proper Salvadoran. You can tell man's lived in ES.

[@mknoxjackson]

Ah.... Lucas is no big eater. Nothing personal but he's a lightweight. Then again, who wants to see someone gorge themselves and eat to repletion on every episode.

[@ZorshaBellydancer1]

Amen

[@bobunitone]

There was a nice moment there with Lucas and the Pupusa chef. Awkward, sweet and honest. Great change of pace in the editing.

[@MDJMtv]

"It was really hot" "yeah its disgusting" 😂

[@mayamontenegro7119]

IamDMP And she is right... It is extremely hot And humid in La Union... 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

[@jodiebrook9579]

There's a place here in Fredericksburg Virginia called Soup and Taco that serves papusas and it's ,y very favorite dish ever. My favorite one has bean and cheese. Oh be still my beating heart I love it.

[@alessandroramirez2169]

Jodie Brook there are pupusas made out of corn (common ones) and ones made out of rice flour. The rice flour ones are sturdier. Hope you can find some!

[@Bloombaby99]

Shout out to VA!!!!

[@lorenzorosales4851]

infamousjdp im not the only one who starting laughing 😂 when he said that lol

[@sneer0101]

I forget that Americans are deprived of bad words on tv. In the UK it's no big deal to hear this.

[@lorenzorosales4851]

sneer0101 lol i guess but its just funny hearing him say that lol

[@jhonymijango3494]

So happy to see the length of this video. Thank you, eater and Lucas!

[@TuMadre101rk]

Ah pupusas on a dime! My favorite show.

[@skyblueerik]

Super pupusas? Yes please.

[@tosht2515]

*Lucas loves pupusas.* $13 for La Super Papusa is a steal. 👍

[@thereisnopandemic]

Tosh T $13 for pupusa is robbery, in El Salvador las Pupusas as 25 cents each pupusa.

[@encryptic-t2016]

The small pupusas are 25 the big ones are 50 cents

[@EmpireXbad]

That was a long time ago. Now a decent or a good pupusa is 35 cents. And big pupuserias could even be 60 cents 😭

[@robertoh.20]

how about, 3 pupusas for $22 aussie dollars? i mean wtf!!!! for reference, a big mac, large drink, large chips costs around $12.

[@James__123]

Great video, really liked the length and editing in this one.

[@HazeGreyAndUnderway]

[@TivoKenevil]

Infra Minced it's called curtido. It's good. Goes on top

[@inframinced6698]

What. No. What....I mean the actual burnt cheese around the edges of the pupusa at 3:31. That's the most delicious part.

[@mayamontenegro7119]

I live this video... I have to tey this super pupusa and the plantain one... And that mango on a stick looks delishhhh...

[@adafu1505]

[@casoscrimenymisterio]

I missing my country 😢 I love cheese pupusas.

[@IamLIK]

Lucas eats for me while I'm on a diet, thank you.

[@Zaekk]

Dude you are too smart that is some hilarious commentary about your viewership.

[@YoungBrave2006]

I am in El Salvador right now, and although I have seen some big pupusas that you can order at some restaurants, I´ve never seen one that big here. That needs like a pint of curtido and a pint of salsa de tomate to go to work on it. Also, the plaintain pupusa reminds me of Salvadorean empanadas, which are a delicious dessert. You mash plaintain, and that is your dough, then the filling is blancmange (some people do refried beans, and although I do not disapprove of sweet and savory mixing, that´s just not my bag. I got VERY pissed off as a kid at people that tried to force feed me that shit. That´s where my mean streak comes from); but instead of the disc shape of a pupusa, you make it like a spherical oval, kind of like a football, except rounded, and not pointy at the ends. The other variation on this theme, is to fry up a whole plaintain, and then make a longitudinal slit along it, and pipe the blancmange or beans along it. That is called a canóa, or canoe, in English. Also, of course near a soccer field. I mean, fútbol.

[@natsukashitv8444]

"This could feed a family" i would eat this on a friday night myself

[@Anitamustdie]

I been here and OMG THE LINE IS SO LONG but it’s so worth it like it always is

[@tipp4569]

4:43 Give this man the channel already

[@RobertRod818]

That "super pupusa" looks so amazing. Here in L.A. we "pupusas locas", are about a 3rd of the size of that pupusa. Great video!

[@gmnelli]

Great episode. Had me drooling for sure. Laughing as well (epic soccer fail at 0:19)! :)

[@cjmq0o]

[@soumyasamanta5655]

[@mfun503]

Everything looked amazing! Is that authentic Salvadorian horchata? This seriously needs to be in every corner accessible to everyone.

[@MMEarlene]

[@xoinfatuated]

MM Earlene Yes that was mango on a stick and an elote loco. Guaranteed he loved them! 😋👌

[@Leonytus100]

[@FlyingNazgul-wm1dv]

That "plantain pupusa" is called an empanada and they are usually made with plantain outside with milk filling and covered in either powdered sugar or sugar from cane like a dessert

[@leontenenbaum6161]

We love you Lucas! Greetings from Stockholm Sweden

[@Ablaze____]

I liked this video just from the f bomb. Keep it up man!

[@platynum6]

I like that leopard spotting , so creative at defining....

[@bluediamond9364]

so delicious yummm, you should also taste the Riguas, which are made of corn as well, for dessert you should try Quesadilla yumm

[@skywolf2012]

WOOOOW THAT LOOKS GOOOOD.

[@mploco183]

[@Christian-qu5ye]

[@GMarieBehindTheMask]

[@anitam1454]

That’s looks just like the empanada de platano maduro con queso. Literally just made those for dinner, so delicious. Our family is Nicaraguan so we eat a lot of platanos 🤤

[@trcr5473]

Yooooo I'm so so impressed by Lucas and pupusas are my fave too, but the way he says plantains make me laughhhhhh
