3 years later: Came back to eat pupusas and i was LET DOWN BIG TIME!! The pupusas were burnt, the cheese was gummy and the cirtido looked like it was in the fridge for many weeks. The eggs & ham was ok, the queao fresco was not fresh, the fried plantains tasted of chiles. The toritllas were raw and need to be heated more. So sad because this place USED to be good. Las pupusas estaban quemadas, el curtido viejo, el queso fresco no estaba fresco, los platanos fritos probraban a chiles. Las tortillas, crudas. Que triate, viene hace 3 años y ere bueno, ahora que sabe que le paso.
(Original review) Don't let this Salvadorian restaurant fool you with the mexican decorations and Puerto Rican regeton music blasting...the food is amazing!! Pupusas were full of cheese and flavor and very delicious. Sopa de pata, equally good and heafty portion. Handmade tortillas, good. Coffee, delicious. Empanadas de crema, good. Service was great and the servers were all using masks. Not alot of people which made it a great and...
Read moreI had never had a pupusa before so I made a point to try some at Pupuseria Mi Chalateca. If you aren't familiar with a pupusa, it is like a quesadilla where the tortilla part is made out of corn meal, but not like a regular corn tortilla. Fresh pupusas are very good here.

I really liked the tacos here. They are $2 each and you get a choice of carne asada or shrimp. Both options were delicious.
Chicharrónes and pastelitos are good as well.
All food is cooked to order and each time I have ordered takeout, I have had to wait 30-40 minutes for my food. I checked the online ordering option but the prices don't seem to match up to the menu in the restaurant. For example, pupusas are $12.99 online but only $3 in the restaurant.
Check out Pupuseria Mi Chalateca if you are in the area - I definitely...
Read moreGreat spot for papusas! The cheese stretch went to the roof! The plantains were sweet, tangy, and the sauce was creamy and tangy as well and complimented the plantains well. The papusas are $3.50 each and I got three of the pork and cheese ones. The slaw-type dish and tomato salsa compliment it as well. Nice zesty tang to add to the savory, cheesy, and flavorful meat inside the fresh from the pan corn mixed fried around it all. I ain't got auntie hands, so I had to let it cool before ripping and dipping. Well worth the stop and a great price. Didn't leave hungry as well and the...
