Our Story
A little corner of El Salvador, right here in Baytown.
At El Rey, every pupusa is pressed by hand, every tortilla is warmed on the comal, and every plate carries the flavors of home. We blend Salvadoran tradition with the bold spirit of Mexican street food — because good food has no borders.
Stop in for a casual lunch, grab takeout on the way home, or bring the whole family. The kids are welcome, the parking is easy, and the curtido is always fresh.
