El Chalateco est perçu comme une adresse salvadorienne chaleureuse et abordable où pupusas, tamales et plats typiques ravissent par des portions généreuses et un goût authentique, le tout dans une ambiance latine conviviale et un service souriant et efficace; le Tepeyac est souvent cité comme coup de cœur et le menu propose des options végétariennes et véganes ainsi que des combos attractifs et des boissons comme horchata et maracuja, avec des prix raisonnables, bien que certaines remarques mentionnent des portions légèrement plus petites ou une sauce parfois trop liquide ou trop salée selon les goûts.
Finally was able to try Restaurant El Chalateco, a Salvadorean spot. The servers were all warm & welcoming. They have 6 combo deals ($11.00 to $16.49) if you order before 5:00pm. You get to choose your pupusa/tamale/drink.
- Curtido & salsa roja - salsa was thin, watery
- Platano con crema ($4.50) - decent but could have been crispier & more caramelized
- Combo #3 ($16.49) - 1 pupusa (de chicharron), yuca con chicharron & a drink (guayaba). Yuca was excellent & came with several chunks of fried pork
- Combo #6 ($12.50) - 1 tamal (pollo), 2 pupusas (revuelta & de queso y espinaca) & a drink (horchata). Pupusas were tasty. Tamale was moist & fluffy. Horchata was nicely spiced
It was great finding this place while on vacation in Montreal. The food was excellent & the portions were adequate. We had the yuca frita, carne asada & pupusas & they were delicious!

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 🤎🤍🤎🤍🤎
The food was delicious. We chose the combo for 4, plenty of food for 5 (10 pupusas, 1 yuca with chicharrón, 1 platanito with cream & a pitcher). The horchata & the tamarindo were great. The staff are very friendly. We will come back.
100/10!! Wonderful restaurant. Food is amazing & a great price. The restaurant is very clean. I tried the horchata, loroco pupusa,res, & fried yuca for dessert. Everything was so good!

Excellent Salvadorean restoraunt in Montreal! A must visit for authentic latin american food 👌 Recommend taking different platters (such as pupusas)to share with friends or family with yuca on the side & trying out drinks like horchata also!

Love love love this place. I’ve been several times & the food is amazing each time. The pupusas are really good & tasty. As well as the plátano frito, mondongo & yuca frita. The prices are also very good !
C'était notre première visite à ce restaurant & nous y retournerons sans aucun doute. La nourriture était excellente & fraîche. Les pupusas sont excellents, bien meilleur que dans le resto le plus couru à Mtl, pour ne pas le nommer. Les yucas & le porc frit étaient également excellent. L'huile à friture était neuve & cela paraissait dans la nourriture.
La serveuse nous avait averti d'un service plus lent à cause du manque de cuisinier mais honnêtement nous avons eu nos boissons à l'intérieur de 2 minutes après la commande & notre repas principal, 10 minutes après la commande. Cela me semble plus que très raisonnable. Un petit resto sympa à visiter!
