They need a little more kindness, the waitress never approached to ask if we needed anything. The pupusas were tasty, but I didn't like the attention ☹️ ?

We got the asada tacos, and the Revuelta pupusas. Both choices are delicious. If you are in the area try the Pupuseria La Chalateca. It gets busy but definitely worth the wait.

My first time coming, bad service, bad food, Jamaica was ugly, well, the one who served me with a bitter face, I won't come again even if they give me free food, the truth is

Surprised at how quickly I was able to get service despite how crowded it was. The Pupusas were delicious and the Horchata was cold and refreshing. Table space limited.

This was the first time I had El Salvadorian food and it was great! Pupusas slap! I had the pork and cheese, jalapeño and cheese and chorizo and potatoes variety. All great in their own ways.I enjoy walking up to a counter to settle your tab as well.The waitress was incredibly friendly and had great suggestions for us. With our leftovers we even got some of that cabbage salad to go in a ziploc!

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 was waiting for my laundry and decided to eat something nearby. I wasn’t expecting delicious loaded nachos. I ordered el pastor with it. It was delicious and satisfying. It’s a small place but has huge flavors. I willdefinitely come back again.

Ok. This is weird to admit but I am not a fan of pupusas. Until I came here!! My friend brought some to a picnic, I tried them and then I was addicted. That's all it takes folks, just one bite. I would have taken more pics but all I took was one. I got the chicken and cheese ones.. my super picky kids even loved the asada kids quesadillas. No pic as they inhaled it before I could take a picture. The pupusas were super hot, fresh off the Comal. The chicken and cheese just melted in my mouth. Honestly I ate like a pig. I ate like 5 and that was too much in my opinion but it's like you eat one and it's like you're hooked. I highly recommend this place. The staff is super friendly. The bathroom is to be desired but all things considered I still give them a 5. Got my food to go which is why things are in a bag fyi!
