Chalateco is a cozy restaurant located in Mountain View, featuring a self-seating system and attentive staff. The menu includes dishes like quesadillas, pupusas, and tamales, with the pupusas noted as amazing and flavorful, complemented by a side dish and sauce. Customers have praised the huge portions, especially for items like pollo guisado, although some found it tasted like regular chicken. While the food is generally praised, some reviews mention overpricing and inconsistency in quality. The mixed fruit agua fresca is refreshing, and the chicken burrito is also well-liked. The restaurant has a cool atmosphere and good lighting, though there have been complaints about slow service and issues like burnt pupusas, bland salsa, and dry tamales in the past. The servers are friendly, with some speaking limited English, but assistance is available if needed. Free parking is offered, albeit in a narrow lot, and wheelchair access is available. Prices are considered reasonable overall.
