Where to eat the best Hungarian food in the USA

As it is with many types of World Cuisine, the US offers a vast range of Hungarian places where you can savor authentic goulash, chicken paprikash, or bakeries selling Hungarian strudels. Often, these are family owned establishments with long lasting traditions rooted in the old country. Moving around the USA is far easier and more convenient with your own rental car. Car rental agencies can be found at the most USA airports and other easily accessible places and some of them, such as AVR car rental specializes in van rental for large families to enjoy the comfort of a spacious van.

If you are in the West Coast, a car will take you straight to the best spots and the best Hungarian eateries in the area in no time. You will find driving there is easier than almost anywhere in the world!

    Given the large Hungarian communities in the Midwest, [Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago to name a few places I know of[ I’m surprised that you didn’t venture far from either coast.

    You should mention the good online stores with Hungarian food in the USA. And there are plenty of them. Restaurants are cool, but buying stuff straight from Europe is a warranty of local ingredients. There are many websites where you can order Hungarian food deli. I personally purchase in Fabko online store. They have perfect lecso, goulash, and salami. And all of those are prepared in Hungary.
