Review Summary

Cantinho Express receives mixed feedback across reviews, with many praising the chicken as flavorful, tender and juicy, the sauces appealing, and portions generous, especially for take-out or delivery when it arrives hot and fresh. Several diners call it one of the best grilled chicken options around and note reliable dining experience and helpful staff, though other comments describe indifferent or unfriendly service, occasional slowdowns, and issues with order accuracy such as missing potatoes, rice, or utensils. The ambiance is described as plain or dim, but the food itself is often highlighted as the standout, including strong sides and consistent quality on repeat visits. Some critics report inconsistency over time, noting changes in taste or style and instances of undercooked chicken or overly oily textures, which dampen the overall experience for those attempts. Overall, Cantinho Express is seen by many as a solid option with standout chicken and substantial portions, yet service and consistency can vary, so experiences differ by visit.

We reserved for our christmas family party for pick up.
When we got home with our food it was still piping hot! Food was super fresh chicken was tender & juicy! The sauces on chicken was delicious! The little round potatoes were a huge hit at our table!
We highly recommend cantinho's for delicious Portuguese chicken!

My sister-in-law placed an order online & sent her husband to pick up the order & everything was already paid for, but her husband had placed the order & they were going to give me what they wanted until they confirmed the pickup. The woman told me to pass the order on as if I was going to steal it.

Went there with a work colleague for lunch. I don't know why it is a 3.9. I think the food was very good. I've had the chicken breast. I've had the burger & I've had the sandwich & every time it was delicious. You have a choice of mild medium or hot sauce. I took the medium which is not hot at all as far as I'm concerned but very delicious. I really don't understand the place doesn't look like much from outside but it's really really good food. I suggest that & I'm a picky eater, a little bit picky. This place is really really good. I'm going to share a picture of our meals. The picture you're going to see is the chicken breast or the chicken leg with the you have a choice of three sides which are all delicious. The service is not super super fast but it's okay they take care of you. They talk to you. They're overall very serviceable & professional. Like I said, the place doesn't look like much, but it's really good. One of those places cover. It's one of those hidden gems. I like to call it so if you go there & you try it & you like it the way we do leave a comment for them. Give them a little five star to help them because they're worthy of a high score online. Having gone there & experienced it more than once I can really say so. Don't hesitate guys go try it out. It's on Henri Bourassa & it's very good

The food is good, but customer service is very bad, & the representative agent on the phone had a very bad attitude,she was aggressive, & the same thing was when I came to pick up the food .

You call in an order to be ready for pick up & once you get there you wait like as if you never ordered. Why bother taking an order of you're not going to do it & have it ready?
