Salvadoran Restaurants in San Jose, CA

“Excelente atención, personal muy amable, mucha variedad de platillos típicos. y el sabor exquisito. me encantó. super recomendado 👌“

“I loveee this place. I've ordered from most places in town but nothing matches. their sauces are amazing. I come almost every day and sometimes twice a day for three tacos. It tastes like home, they are so kind and the food cannot be matched. whenever my partner talks about another restaurant I get upset hahaha. I will be so sad when I move, I think sometimes I get all of my meals here. I barely have the time to cook but it is hard to find something that tastes as good as home cooking. This food is better. love it love you guys. thanks for being so reliably amazing“

“This place is great! I'm ?? and grew up with the authentic stuff cooked up by my folks, so I'm pretty picky about my fave Mexican food. That said, this place has pupusas and tortas that remind me of home, they're so good. The meat's well-seasoned, toppings are balanced well, and the prices are fair all around. I can easily see myself becoming a regular here.“

“Escuchaste bien ¡¡¡GRATIS MICHELADAS!!! En el negocio latino de hoy les traigo Pupuseria Delmy en San José. Sus pupusas son unas de las más cercanas que he probado que saben como hechas en casa, las mejores de la ciudad si me preguntas, y las micheladas son gratis de viernes a domingo, ¡siempre y cuando comas allí!“

“Bet you've been to a taqueria but have you seen a Pupuseria before? Its El Salvadorian cuisine, theyre almost like tamale pancakes lol. Theyre sooo good. I like the chorizo/potato and the Jalepeño/cheese ones. Ah-mazing. Ive gotten other things from here before and its all good.
If you order to-go and stand to the side you can watch them do their thing in the kitchen. I was surprised how carefully the guy handled the food, he was precise in what he did and handled the food like it was gold. And it is. I want some now... you put the shredded cabbage on top, then the red sauce. This is the way.
The wall is all mirrors which kinda freaks me out a bit. Great for a date I suppose lol.
The people who work here are professional and they do a great job. This place is one of my favorites, one would never know, just from looking at it from the road, thats its such a gem. They have the music bumping at times lol its so real over there. I just remembered they sell fried plantains. Im heading back over.“

“I drive up from Monterey County weekly to have their food. Everything I have tried has been delicious! I'm a sucker for the house salsa and the Tripas Tacos! No one is better! Seriously would love a spot down here in Salinas or Seaside or even Watsonville!

Try everything and fall in love with Chaleteco! ♡“

“toda la comida está muy buena buen servicio buena amabilidad“

“The first couple of times I’ve been here, I’ve only ever gone for their Taco Tuesdays and they were always 10/10. I finally went in, sat down and their menu is huge! Reasonable pricing, great service, friendly staff and delicious food. My partner and I have been coming back to try new things and they have not disappointed. Definitely coming back again and again!“

“I loved it...we went to this place for the first time to celebrate my husband's birthday and wow!! I loved the reception from the DJ, and the atmosphere not to mention... it is a Salvadoran restaurant and all the people are very nice... without a doubt I recommend it 100%.
I recommend the SHRIMP "PUPAS"..AND THE SALVADOREAN HORCHATA WATER.
BY THE WAY THEY ARE BIG...“

“We were in the area craving pupusas and came across this spot on Google. I’ll be honest... I was a little skeptical at first since it only had around 70 reviews, but we decided to give it a try. So glad we did!

It’s located in a small shopping center with easy parking right in front. As soon as we walked in, I noticed how super clean the restaurant was... no joke, it was sparkling lol.

The service was excellent, and the food did not disappoint. We ordered the spinach pupusa, combo pupusa, tacos dorados, and a pupusa taco mix. Yes… a pupusa taco mix! First time I’ve ever heard of that, and it was actually so good.

Everything tasted fresh and authentic. The curtido (cabbage mix) and salsa were the perfect combo. I’m usually picky about the cabbage because sometimes it’s way too vinegary, but this one was balanced perfectly.

Definitely recommend checking this place out if you’re craving authentic pupusas!“

“Best pupusa! I drive from South San Jose just to get delicious pupusa!“

“Love the food here. They are attentive and try the best to give you a wonderful service even if they are busy. I had the popusas, not greasy, just right. My hubby had tacos and he loved them.I will return for sure to try some of the other items in their menu.?“

“I tried this restaurant for the first time last Saturday and was so impressed with the quality of the food and extensive menu. I think it is my new favorite local restaurant and I plan to visit often. I wanted to try everything! We got the blue corn quesadilla with huitlacoche, and another quesadilla with squash blossoms (flor de calabaza), and mushroom papusas (hongos). Those were all vegetarian. The huitlacoche was my favorite, the flavor was really good and just the right amount of filling and cheese. Very good quality and the portions are huge, well worth the price. I also tried the huarache with pastor, it was the best I've ever had (and I've had a lot, including in CDMX). I also got an order of birria papusas, the meat and consume were perfect, again, some of the best I've ever had. Lastly, we tried the plantain empanadas (empanadas de platano) for desert and they were also delicious. We really liked the salsas as well, the orange one is spicy. I can't wait to come back. Wish I took pictures for the review but I was too busy eating!“
