Chalateco

Food, great! Customer service, change the personal very often and depend who you get. Atmosphere, Loud, no conftoble. Vulgar music.

The pupusas here are pretty good as well, friendly service. There were some other menu items that looked delicious as well. The only reason this has a four star is because some of the utensils provided were kind of dirty.

I ordered two tacos, I'm the only person in the restaurant. I believe this restaurant messed up my order on purpose I ordered two tacos one al pastor , and one carnitas. I open the plate its one chorizo taco and a dry brittle old chorizo, horrible. Bland unseasonably chicken overcooked rice for a burrito, and why is my whole burrito orange color? From what is that MSG??? This is a 1-star restaurant. Cannot mess up all 3x items. That I ordered, but they did. The first restaurant I've given a 1-star food rating too.

LOVE THIS HIDDEN GEM ... PERFECT PLACE TO EAT MY BEAN AND CHEESE PUPUSA IN THE CAR WHILE MY LAUNDRY IS WASHING.GREAT SAFE AREA AND VERY CLEAN!! THE PEOPLE WHO WORK HERE ARE FIRST CLASS PEOPLE WHO TREAT EVERYONE WITH RESPECT. OVERALL MY GO TO SPOT

I got the Carne A La Tampiqeña and an Horchata. The thin-cut beef was overcooked and lacked flavor, and the enchiladas had almost no filling so it was basically soft tortillas in mole. Rice and beans were basic. Horchata was huge. I didn't dislike the food, but the issue was that it came out to $30 after tax and tip. I wouldn't pay half that for that kind of meal. The inside looks like a cheap taqueria too, not like other mexican restaurants that would charge $30 for a meal. The server was nice though. I might go back and try something mentioned in reviews.

Where is the asada?? I asked for a super burrito and had more rice then meat.

Chalateco is one of many taquerias in San Jose, but it just might be one of the most creative food-wise. Yes they have great tacos, quesadillas, etc. But they also have a lot of other dishes that are like creative takes on regular Mexican food. The food itself is also really good. Parking: Parking lot is on site, parking is not an issue.
