Chalateco - Sahibabad

Excellent atmosphere, food, very good place, adjustable, very good

The food is good, but the service is terrible especially at this location.

I've been eating here most of my life and trust me when I say these are the BEST pupusas I've ever had!! Nothing comes close to this quality and consistency in the bay! A great hearty meal for the whole family! The menu is a mix of quality Mexican and Salvadorian dishes you must try!Aside from the pupusas I recommend the burritos, platano balls filled with creme, and alambre especial!!Don't miss out!!!

Me and my partner first came across El Chalateco at the Alum Rock location down the street across from the Mexican Heritage Hall when I saw a Taquero outside grilling Al Pastor. I can’t resist pulling over to get some tacos when I see that lol.Fast forward to more recently when they closed down that location and focused on the Jackson at Alum Rock location in a former Carl’s Jr space. They still have a Taquero, but in the evening starting from Friday through Sunday. There are other Chalateco locations, however, the Jackson location seems to be the main location.They have many dishes on their menu, including pupusas, enchiladas, tortas, Birria, and much more. But what I will keep coming back for are their Al Pastor Tacos. The tortillas are nice, thin and double layered. The flavor has that nice bit of tanginess and oily meat to go with the chopped onions, cilantro, and flick of pineapple. Some might find the prices to be off-putting compared to some of the other Mexican or Salvadoran restaurants in San Jose. Can’t say that I blame them for one of my birthday parties. The bill came out to quite a bit more than expected. On top of that, they only take cash, which can be a bit of a hassle sometimes.Ultimately, they have the best Al Pastor Tacos that I’ve found in San Jose. Beyond that, the service, the cost, and all the other stuff doesn’t really matter to me as long as I can get my tacos

This is the worst restaurant and ignorant that I have been into. They resell the food when is not pick up.
