Salvadoran pan con pollo with escabeche and tomato sauce in Houston TX

Pan con Pollo

Order Now

$8.99 regular price

Pan con pollo is one of the most loved dishes in Salvadoran cooking: French bread filled with chicken slow-cooked in tomato sauce, with pickled vegetable escabeche, lettuce, and mayonnaise. It is more than a sandwich — it is a full meal. In El Salvador it is event food; here in Houston we serve it every day we are open.

Includes:
  • Complete pan con pollo
  • Extra sauce on the side
  • Extra napkins

Frequently asked questions

Is pan con pollo like a sandwich?

Not exactly. Visually it looks like a large sandwich, but the chicken comes cooked in sauce, with pickled vegetables, and the sauce soaks into the bread. It is closer to a stew served inside bread than to a dry sandwich.

Is it spicy?

No. It is a deep-flavored dish (tomato, spices, escabeche) but not spicy. If you want heat, you can ask for chile on the side.

How filling is one pan con pollo?

One pan con pollo is substantial — the French bread comes filled with stewed chicken, escabeche, and sauce, and it is enough for one person with a good appetite. Many people pair it with a Salvadoran horchata or a hot atole.

Can I order it to-go?

Yes. We pack it with the extra sauce on the side so the bread does not get too soggy. If you are going to eat it later, we recommend warming it in the oven for a few minutes before serving.

When is it available?

Every day we are open: Monday through Thursday from 6am to 9pm, and Friday and Saturday from 6am to 10pm. We are closed Sundays. Order online or by phone and we will have it ready for pickup at 11228 Airline Dr Ste A.
