Restaurant El Amigo

Rosemont-La Petite-Patrie, Little-Italy

Mexican Salvadorian Tacos

Mentioned in: Pupusas in Montreal: the Best of El Salvador

Review Summary

Reviewers describe Restaurant El Amigo as a cozy, homey spot with generous portions and a Salvadoran leaning menu centered on pupusas. Some meals disappoint, with pupusas described as lacking filling and the curtido days old while the salsa felt too liquid, but other dishes earn praise, including a highly regarded quesadilla and the fish soup. Portions are consistently large and meals are often cooked to order, though some items may have been frozen and reheated and not served hot in the center. Service is described as friendly and strong for groups, yet at times staff feel overwhelmed and tap water is not provided. The atmosphere feels like a family kitchen, with dated decor and a TV showing Spanish programs, offering a warm, grandparents' home vibe. Bring your own wine or beer, and reservations by phone are common; accessibility for wheelchairs is limited. Overall, Restaurant El Amigo provides hearty Salvadoran fare and a memorable dining experience, with a mix of hits and misses that diners weigh as part of the charm.View restaurant profile
