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.

Cantinho Express, situé à Montréal-Nord, est un endroit idéal pour les plats à emporter. Leur poutine au poulet est délicieuse, mais l'expérience de manger sur place est moins favorable. Si vous recherchez une bonne poutine à emporter, c'est l'endroit à essayer!

We ordered with a bunch of friends so we tried various items on the menu. The chicken poutine was very tasty & the chicken filled with flavor. However, we ordered extra cheese & there was barely any cheese at all. The 1/4 chicken plates we're honestly just ok, nothing exceptionnal. The last item we got was a chicken salad & that was completely dissapointing. It was drowned in oil. Bottom line, the chicken itself tastes great but the rest is so-so.
