El Rey Del Pollo is an authentic, family-run restaurant that offers a genuine home-cooked experience. The menu is a mix of printed pages and handwritten items, and the staff and clientele are predominantly Spanish-speaking. The restaurant is spotless, and Mexican football is often playing on the television.
The food is excellent, not fancy but with the essential combination of scent, visuals, taste, and the warmth of a cook who loves their craft. Customers can enjoy the El Typico half chicken, tacos that are praised as delicious, steak platters in various combinations, and the popular Salvadoran pupusas - enclosed buckwheat pancakes with a choice of fillings, some of which may be unfamiliar but worth trying.
While the tropical propensity for salt may be unexpected in a low-sodium world, the spice combinations are pleasing. The salsa is excellent for adding moisture to any slightly dry dishes. There is no alcohol, which is considered a positive in this working-class establishment. Expect to pay around $15 per adult, leaving room for a generous tip. This is a place for those who appreciate authentic, grassroots cooking.
