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.

Degueulasse c'est ça qu'il y a dans leur salade. A ÉVITER

La salade n'était pas fraîche & la caissière avait une mauvaise attitude, ce qui a rendu le service désagréable.

La caissière était gentille, mais Erreur dans notre commande.
Salades pas frais, poulet & frites huileux.
Le poulet n'était pas bien cuit..On a du remettre au four...
1er fois que je commandais là-bas. Malheureusement, ça sera aussi la dernière fois.... Dommage..

Aujourd'hui j'ai passé une commande & pour la deuxième fois, il y a eu une erreur. On m'a oublié les patates, alors que je les avais bien demandées.
La dernière fois, au travail avec mes collègues, on m'avait déjà oublié le riz (j'avais pourtant commandé patates + riz + salade) & on m'a mis patates + frites + salade… Résultat : je me suis retrouvé à manger quasiment que de la pomme de terre.
En plus, aujourd'hui il n'y avait même pas d'ustensiles : j'ai dû couper mon poulet avec les mains & emprunter une fourchette à un collègue.

Une erreur peut arriver, mais deux fois de suite c'est abusé.
Je suis vraiment déçu, car la nourriture est excellente, mais il faut faire beaucoup plus d'efforts sur le service & la préparation des commandes.

Ordered a chicken family trio, chicken was cut up, the cooking was uneven, some pieces were burnt & there was a chicken leg that was not well done, the meat was pink. Salad was old & limpy, salad dressing was watered down. Fries were cold & tasted reheated. Haven't ordered from here in a while, the standards have really dropped.

Le poulet & la sauce vraiment bon & savoureux. La salade pourrait être mieux car apres avoir trouvé une feuille complete meme pas coupé & un coeur de salade entier dans ma salade ouf. Le staff a besoin de formation. Les frites sont bonne & le riz aussi. Boss former votre personnel. Jaimais beaucoup ce restaurant avant. Les cotes levees sont delicieuses.assiette portions genereuses

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.
