Have you heard of Chorizo Salvadoreno, or Salvadoran-style chorizo? You might’ve seen it in supermarkets across the U.S. — those small red sausages packed with rich flavor and mild spice.
What Makes Salvadoran Chorizo Different?
Of course, you’ve probably seen the more common Mexican chorizo, which is more famous in the United States. But Salvadoran chorizo is actually quite different.
While Mexican chorizo is often sold as long sausage links,
Salvadoran chorizo traditionally comes in small, round pieces, like this
Cute, right? And more importantly — it’s so easy to cook and enjoy! You can even remove the casing and use it like ground meat.
Its bright red color comes mainly from paprika, not from heavy chili spice. The result? A well-balanced sausage that’s rich, savory, and packed with umami flavor.
Starting to crave it already?
Chorizo Providencia: Crafted with Passion and Tradition
Here’s the thing — it’s not easy to find authentic Salvadoran-style chorizo in this traditional shape here in the U.S. That’s why our company, Chorizo Providencia, focuses on just two products:
Chorizo
Longaniza
That’s it — we pour all our passion and craftsmanship into perfecting these two Salvadoran sausages.
Our recipe is 100% authentic, passed down directly from El Salvador. We’ve adjusted the size slightly — about twice as big as the traditional local version — to make it easier to cook and handle in American kitchens.
Freshness and Quality You Can Taste
Concerned about quality? Don’t be! Just like our flavor, our commitment to quality is serious.
Freshness is key — when you cook our chorizo fresh, you’ll taste the full, rich depth of Salvadoran flavor. But don’t worry, you can also store it frozen and enjoy it any time, without losing its taste.
We’re proud to say we’ve been making our sausages for over 30 years.
Every batch is made following USDA-approved guidelines, using premium fresh pork, vegetables, and spices — with no artificial additives or preservatives. It’s truly the real Salvadoran chorizo experience, right here in Los Angeles.

Based in Los Angeles, we primarily supply restaurants and distributors, but we know many of you would love to cook our chorizo at home, too.
