Horchata Salvadoreña

Our Salvadoran horchata is made in house with toasted morro seed, rice, sesame, cacao, and traditional spices — thicker and creamier than the Mexican horchata most people know in Houston. It is served ice-cold, in two sizes, and it is the perfect drink to pair with handmade pupusas.
Frequently asked questions
What is in Salvadoran horchata?
Toasted morro seed, rice, sesame, cacao, and traditional spices like cinnamon and vanilla. It is mixed with water, milk, and sugar at the time of serving, and we prepare it in batches throughout the day so it is always fresh.
Is it very different from Mexican horchata?
Yes. Mexican horchata is made mainly with rice and cinnamon. Salvadoran horchata has morro seed and cacao, which gives it a different flavor and a creamier texture. If you want to try something new, give it a shot.
Does it have milk?
Yes. The traditional preparation has milk. If you have intolerance or prefer a milk-free version, let us know when you order and we will tell you the options.
Is it very sweet?
It is sweet, yes — but not too much. The traditional recipe includes sugar, though the morro and cacao flavor always comes through. If you want it less sweet, ask when you order and we will prepare it to your taste.
Is it available every day?
Yes. We make it daily and always have it. If you come during a very busy hour and it is running low, wait a few minutes while we make the next batch.
