My fav papusas in the area, hands down. I get the #9 pork, beans and cheese. I know nothing about Salvadorian food, so I can't speak to its authenticity. It's a little browned on the outside but ooey gooey goodness on the instead. The pickled veggies and tomato sauce make it. It's not quite as good as the one in Redwood city that closed, they put sliced avocados on top. It's not in the fanciest area, however it's always busy. I the staff is very nice. Large array of drinks and beer. I need to try more there!

Delicious pupusas. Tried the chicarron and the cheese pupusa, both were good, but the cheese one was better. it had the perfectly caramelized dark spots of cheese that leak from the pupusa. The chicharron one wasn't bad, but I've had better versions. The pork here had a bit too much of a sour taste, which was unusual. The pupusas were freshly made, so it took 10 -15 min, but it was worth it. They were not at all greasy. Service was friendly. The atmosphere is a very casual, family restaurant one.Worth a visit.

It's been very hard to find an authentic Salvadoran restaurant that has pupusas. I was so happy I came across this place. The server was very helpful she recommended I try the pupusas con harina de arroz. I will be having my pupusas like this from here on out. The restaurant is quite small but gets busy, I noticed there was a lot of take out orders being done as well which is a good sign because often times the food doesn't taste the same.

Every Tuesday for dinner I try a new place. Today, it was Mi Chalateca Pupuseria. As soon as we entered we were greeted by the wonderful staff and shown to a table. We've never had Salvadorian food so we went a big crazy when ordering. Got 4 pupusas: jalapeno cheese (pretty spicy), 2 beef and cheese and chorizo and cheese, all of them were delicious and served with a fantastic cabbage salad. We got a chicken tamale with was alright, nothing out of the ordinary.The beef tongue and cheese sincronizada which was basically a quesadilla was delicious!! I haven't seen many places offering tongue on the menu. The Salvadorian horchata was also very tasty. Great experience and would recommend it wholeheartedly.

I really like their pupusas. However, they take kinda long to serve food if you eat at their restaurant. The best is to call & order to pick up.

I tried the jalapeño con queso y ayote con queso pupusas and they were delicious! Very cheesy and that perfect mix of crunchy and soft pupusas. I think I saw God when I took my first bite (make sure to add the toppings first). Their service is also really great even though I seem to always go at their busiest times!

This place is as authentic as it gets. I counted 5 people working in a small area, like a well oiled machine. My friend ordered a regular burrito "regular" look at the picture!! Every place I have ever been to, this so called regular burrito would EASILY qualify as a super burrito. Believe it or not they do have a Super burrito. My friend loved it but could only eat just over 1/2 of it.I forgot what mine was called but it had green & red bell peppers, lots of cheese, steak and who knows what else along with like a dozen mini "hot" tortillas.I also ordered a Horchata and a Churro "they forgot the Churro but didn't charge me so..."Overall the food is excellent here, friendly service, and they give you large quantity of food, seriously what more can you ask for? Booth seat cushions are showing their age but beyond that...... I will definitely be back and I also definitely recommend them.

With the cabbage and hot sauce, I was told this is how the El Salvadorians do it. It made it! I would most def go back! I stuffed myself, two would have been enough. Very reasonably priced! This place is a hidden gem!

Ordered a sampler of most of the pupusas on the menu. They were all fantastic but the surprise favorites were the loroco and squash blossom. The fried plantains with beans and crema reminded my wife of her childhood. All so tasty!
