EL REY DE LAS PUPUSAS, located at 1019 Chalkstone Ave in Providence, RI, stands out as a gem of Salvadoran cuisine. Diners are greeted with a warm atmosphere and an authentic menu that pays homage to traditional flavors. Reviews from satisfied customers highlight the restaurant's incredible selection of pupusas, with one patron, Leo Taveras, praising the impressive size options and savory fillings that combine to create a mouthwatering experience. Pierre Rousseaux echoes this sentiment, confirming that the pupusas taste just like those found in El Salvador and Honduras. The menu doesn't stop at pupusas; it also offers the Bandeja Salvadorena, a well-balanced platter featuring grilled meat, Spanish rice, and roasted yuca, which A C found deliciously satisfying. Though some salsas fell short, the warm corn tortillas and fried plantains definitely captured the spotlight. The friendly service, noted by Gabriel Marroquin, adds to the welcoming ambience, making every visit enjoyable. Whether you're a long-time enthusiast of Salvadoran cuisine or a newcomer eager to explore, EL REY DE LAS PUPUSAS is a must-try destination where flavorful dishes and genuine hospitality collide.

It's very original and making pupusas It tastes the same as Salvador and Honduras and our places that we eat this kind of food Very good and the prices are reasonable

Tomato salsa was not anything special, but their jalapeno salsa that we put on a tostada with refried beans and queso fresco was good. I had the Bandeja Salvadorena as my entree so I could get a taste of everything. It came with a cut of grilled meat I couldn’t identify, Spanish rice and beans, roasted yuca, and a very simple salad. The deep frying of the plantains brought out their mild sweetness — yum! My favorite treat was the warm fluffy corn tortillas! Price was more than reasonable for the amount of food you get.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at El Rey de Las Pupusas, and I couldn't be happier with my experience. What drew me to this restaurant was the option of two different sizes for their Pupusas, and I decided to try both the regular and the larger size. The photos truly speak volumes about the size difference - the bigger ones were impressive! The pupusas were incredibly cheesy and, most importantly, absolutely delicious. The blend of flavors and the generous amount of cheese made every bite a delight. The combination of textures and the savory taste left me craving for more. The regular and larger sizes provided a choice to satisfy different appetites, which was a great feature. I highly recommend El Rey de Las Pupusas for their delectable pupusas, whether you prefer regular or the larger size. It's a must-visit for anyone who appreciates authentic, cheesy, and mouthwatering pupusas.
