Review Summary

Cantinho Express receives varied feedback regarding its offerings and operations. Many patrons praise the restaurant for its delicious Portuguese charcoal chicken, excellent piri piri sauce, and generous portion sizes at reasonable prices. While several customers highlight quick and friendly service that enhances their dining experience, others report significant inconsistencies, including issues with order accuracy, undercooked food, and instances of unprofessional or rude communication from staff. Though some diners consider it a hidden gem perfect for a casual meal, concerns about the changing quality of the food and lackluster service at certain locations have left some long-time customers feeling disappointed.

J'avais l'habitude de manger là (avant covid) c'était rare mais toujours délicieux. Maintenant depuis peu c'est toujours graisseux à souhait & ils chargent 80$ pour 2 poulets 2 patates & 1 riz! A ne rien comprendre. Où est passée la joie de vivre dans ces plats? Les sauces ne sont rendues que des flaques d'huile! On a manger prc qu'il n'y avait rien d'autre à manger ( en plein déménagement) vraiment déçue! & pour couronnée le tout un long cheveux noir dans le poulet a ma grand-mère! Qui avait faim & n'a pas pu terminer.....
