    Amazing Papusa but they're salsa and dip nachos is a joke. It's grocery store jar salsa and cheese sauce with stale tortilla chips.

    Finally was able to try Restaurant El Chalateco, a Salvadorean spot. The servers were all warm and…read morewelcoming. They have 6 combo deals ($11.00 to $16.49) if you order before 5:00pm and you get to choose your pupusa/tamale/drink. - Curtido and salsa roja - salsa was thin, watery style - Platano con crema ($4.50) - decent but could have been crispier and more caramelized - Combo #3 ($16.49) - 1 pupusa (de chicharron), yuca con chicharron and a drink (guayaba). Yuca was excellent and came with several chunks of fried pork - Combo #6 ($12.50) - 1 tamal (pollo), 2 pupusas (revuelta and de queso y espinaca) and a drink (horchata). Pupusas were tasty. Chicken tamale was moist and fluffy. Horchata was nicely spiced

    Seems to be a really authentic spot!…read more The papusas are cooked great, large portion for $3. I got the queso and the pork + beans, both were very tasty! How are these not more popular? Don't skip on the plantain and sour cream starter!! They give you a WHOLE giant plantain that's been cooked to super sweet and velvety perfection. I love these and they're really hard to find! This is now a super favorite spot just for these. Had the chicken breast plate which came with a large salad and rice + beans. The rice was super good, cooked way better than most places. The chicken had some spices on it but there wasn't anything too special about the plate. They have a lot of authentic drinks too, my favorite is Horchata which was spiced just right. Cinnamon and maybe some nutmeg in there. Perfection! The staff was very very nice too, although a bit slow at the end when waiting for a box. At the register, we striked up a conversation about plantains which was enlightening. I'll definitely be coming back for more papusas and plantains.
