Excellent restaurant salvadorien! J'y suis allée plusieurs fois, en famille & entre amis. Le service est toujours chaleureux, les serveurs sont d'une grande gentillesse & te reconnaissent après quelques visites. La nourriture est délicieuse (pupusas, plats de viande, déjeuners) & les prix sont très honnêtes. Je recommande vivement!

Hicimos una prueba para encontrar las mejores pupusas en Montreal y éstas son las mejores. Lo único que tienen que mejorar es la salsa que está muy líquida, pero el resto es excelente!

Tried El Chalateco recently & really enjoyed it!

I ordered the horchata - super fresh & flavorful, definitely a must-try! 🤍 The pupusas were good, but I personally prefer a bit more cheese & pork in the filling:)

I also had the fried pork with plantains & yuca, & it was delicious. The pork was nicely seasoned & crispy, & the combo with sweet plantains & starchy yuca worked really well.

Overall, great spot for Salvadoran comfort food 🤎🤍🤎🤍🤎

J'ai adoré mon repas! Que des latino-américains aux tables alentour, ce qui m'a déjà mise en confiance! Aussi bien mangé qu'en voyage! & prix assez doux. Je recommande!
