You will find a typical Portuguese restaurant at O Cantinho.
You will travel to the Algave's hot beaches, Lisbon's cafés, you will enjoy the nostalgic sound of Fado and smell the flavors of spices as you will enjoy tasting the best Portos.
Cantinho Express is frequently praised for flavorful chicken, great sauces, and generous portions, with many orders arriving hot and fresh and customers often recommending the place for its delicious Portuguese style chicken; however reviews vary on service and consistency, with some reports of order errors, undercooked items, and less favorable visits tied to slower service or changes in management affecting perceived authenticity.
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!
I have been a customer for several years. I mainly order now with Door Dash. Food always arrives hot & delicious. Great charcoal chicken & spiced just right

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..
Last time I go to this place, worst customer service, after paying 42$ for a family trio the quality of food & service was not the same as when we started going there when they opened.i paid extra for the patatoes & with extra sauce & they didn't want to put the sauce on the potatoes when i said that i asked for it & paid extra they said the potatoes don't come with the sauce, which i was surprised cause we have ordered the same thing several years. The owner comes out & i told him the situation & he was rude & condescending, his name is Carlos & told me if i was not happy to not come back. Whenever i go there it seems everyone is miserable to work there or extremely rude all the time, doesn't make you want to go back. It also comes with the owner that is not respectful in any way to to customer that is a loyal one to say the least. Not going back! Last time!!! Their is no more customer service. Not recommending this resto to anyone.
Haitian people tookover the business & the food they are making isn't like what I remember in the past when White people & Portuguese people was running it, It's not Portuguese, It's Creole food that pretends to be Portuguese, Cashier is very rude, Place look dim, dingy, kitchen is a mess, cooks look tired & miserable, Chicken, Fries decent, Rice horrible, I don't recommend there to anybody, It had seen better days when it first opened after Harvey's Restaurant left there.
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.
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
