La Pupusa Rica Menu

Price Range $10–20

If you find yourself in Houston and are craving a taste of Central America, look no further than La Pupusa Rica. Nestled at 9399 S Gessner Rd, this authentic Salvadoran restaurant has garnered a reputation for serving some of the finest pupusas in the city. With an inviting atmosphere and vibrant decor that reflects the rich culture of El Salvador, La Pupusa Rica offers not just a meal, but a culinary adventure.

At the heart of La Pupusa Rica's menu lies its star attraction: the pupusas. Customers rave about the non-greasy, huge, and delicious pupusas that are generously stuffed and made fresh to order. A visit wouldn't be complete without trying their signature options, including the doughy delights of Revuelta, stuffed with cheese and either pork or beans, and accompanied by a fresh side of curtido, a tangy cabbage slaw that adds a refreshing crunch.

But the menu doesn't stop there! Seafood lovers can indulge in dishes like the Whole Fried Fish served with rice, tortillas, and a crisp salad for only US$8.99, or opt for the juicy Grilled Shrimp, a succulent offering grilled to perfection and served alongside fries and tortillas, all for just US$8.00. Add a taste of their natural refreshments like Horchata or Tamarindo to complete your dining experience, providing authentic flavors that transport you directly to the streets of San Salvador.

While the food speaks for itself, the friendly customer service enhances the experience. Reviewers have noted how the staff is always ready with a welcoming smile and helpful suggestions, ensuring that your visit is not only satisfying in terms of food but also in hospitality. S. Lopez sums it up perfectly, declaring La Pupusa Rica as having the "BEST pupusas" in Houston—a sentiment echoed by many satisfied customers.

However, keep in mind that some beverages may not always be available, as pointed out by SVC ARCADE. It's worth checking with your server for any specials or limited-time offerings to make the most of your visit.

So, whether you're a long-time fan of Salvadoran cuisine or new to the flavors of Central America, make your way to La Pupusa Rica. Your taste buds will thank you for the delightful journey you’ll embark on with every bite.
