La bouf est bonne, le fromage n'est pas un vrai squik squik en grain & il en ajoute jamais assez pour la poutine.
Il y a souvent des erreurs dans les commende, oublie les sauces & etc.
Des fois le poulet yer sec sec.

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.
