Chalateco is known for having the best pupusas in the bay area! The menu offers a mix of quality Mexican and Salvadorian dishes, with the revueltas papusa and alambre especial being highly recommended. Their Al Pastor Tacos are a must-try, with thin, double-layered tortillas and flavorful meat. The restaurant's main location on Jackson at Alum Rock serves delicious food, but some find the prices higher compared to other places. The lack of prices on the menu can be off-putting, and the cash-only policy can be inconvenient. Despite some drawbacks like old bathrooms and a need for a cleaner environment, the friendly staff and amazing food, especially the Al Pastor Tacos, make Chalateco a go-to spot for authentic Salvadorian and Mexican cuisine.
