Review Summary

Cantinho Express receives polarized feedback regarding its Portuguese-style chicken, with many patrons praising the flavor, generous portions, and delicious piri piri sauce. While some frequent visitors consider it a hidden gem for quality charcoal-grilled meals, others express frustration over inconsistent food preparation, including reports of undercooked chicken and errors in takeout orders. Customer service experiences vary significantly, ranging from friendly and professional interactions to reports of rude staff and indifferent service. Although the food is frequently described as a great value, concerns regarding hygiene, menu changes, and declining consistency have left some long-time customers disappointed in the current state of the establishment.

Nous sentions l'odeur du grill à quelques centaines de mètres. Nous n'avions pas le choix d'essayer. Nous avons été très satisfaits. Le burger Angus grillé sur le grill prend un peu le goût des autres viandes portugaises grillées sur le grill. C'était vraiment excellent. Recommandé pour un lunch rapide si vous passez par là!
