From the moment I arrived, the waiter greeted me with a very friendly smile, always very attentive, and the food was delicious and very affordable.
Lorocco pupusas for the win! They were SOOO good. I am craving them now as I am writing this. Clearly, El Chalateco is popular given the line to pick up food. Ordering on the phone was a little challenging since the person spoke very fast but the food is well worth this little challenge.
I am not a big fan of Salvadorian food however I have eaten it in the past and it's been okay. I was driving on Saratoga Avenue in San Jose, CA when I saw El Chalateco. The outside tented area looked inviting with quite a few patrons. So I decided to stop by with my wife and see what was going on. Everyone was very friendly and one of the outside employees waved hello to us. Well if so many people are eating there and an employee stops what he is doing to wave-i'm trying this place! The food was absolutely fantastic! The best Pupusas I have ever had! It was nicely filled, fully cooked and fairly good size. The tacos (Soft/Crispy) were excellent tasting with fresh ingredients and the pork and chicken was cooked perfectly. To finish the meal, we had dessert Plantain with sweet cream milk. I like Plantains if they are fresh and properly prepared. These were absolutely perfect and I highly recommend them. Service was excellent, all employees were polite, friendly and in compliance with Covid 19 Standards. They do take credit cards for payment. This is my new favorite restaurant and I Highly Recommend El Chalateco!
