El Chalateco

Came in on a Tuesday afternoon. There were only 2 males who apparently knew the ladies behind the counter. So I figured it won’t be too long to get an order of pupusas. The lady who took my order was not friendly at all, instead she kept hollering to someone else behind the kitchen wall. I really wanted to love this place and keep coming back. My order of 6 pupusas was ready in 10 mins. I kindly asked for more curtido which i offered to pay for. Didn’t get an answer. Instead she shoved some in my bag and walked away. Unfortunately the pupusas were just ok. Nothing to rave about. And with the horrible customer service… I won’t be back. Maybe if I ordered with a salvadorean accent, things would have been better. I guess they don’t need Mexican’s business.

Best pupuseria Ever! They literally make them with love. You bite into a full juicy pupusa. not flour then meat like most places. They are family owed, always so kind same love that they put into their customer service is what they put into each n every plate they make. N everything is always fresh. Can’t go wrong with this place for a good old fashioned Salvadorian home meal.

can’t go wrong with this little hole in a wall!!! Best pupusas in this area, hands down!!!

Small spot, quick service. Friendly staff upon entering the restaurant. Unfortunately, the issue at thus restaurant is finding parking. I looked on Unilocal for a salvadorean restaurant and this one was the only one with 5 stars. Naturally, I came to this one, but finding parking was a mission. Other than that, everything else was great!

Okay… so the bombusas here really are great. What is better is the fact that it is a small location and how it is not all big and attract big crowds. Feels… cozy. Like… it is just a simple little firecracker that whence you taste the bombusas here… they be like POP-​POW!!!
Pero eso si… the food here is good. You can see the mamas tortillando and not hiding in the back. Puchica voz just come here!!!

Best pupusas in LA, hands down.
and only $ 2 each, I’m glad this place is a block away from my house!
The platanos are also great but if you come here and don’t get pupusas you’re missing out!
Cash only, the women who work here are awesome.

This neighborhood has so many great little places! I love the papusas here. The service is also great with a lot of smiles.

Great little place. I’ve only had the pupusas and they are yummy! Service is polite and quick.

Best Pupusas Ever.. this is the only place I come to eat Pupusas. Ive been coming here for 5years… and everything ia good.

The pupusas are the best i’ve had in a while… I’m not a fan of the other foods but the pupusas are worth the 5 stars alone, a whole in the wall and not the most glamorous but if u ever want a good pupusa def try them out… Specially the rice dough pupusas!
