Cantinho Express reçoit des avis variés concernant ses produits et son fonctionnement. De nombreux clients louent le restaurant pour son délicieux poulet portugais cuit au charbon, son excellente sauce piri piri et ses portions généreuses à des prix abordables. Si certains clients soulignent un service rapide et amical qui améliore leur expérience, d'autres signalent des incohérences importantes, notamment des erreurs dans les commandes, des plats insuffisamment cuits et des cas de communication peu professionnelle ou impolie de la part du personnel. Bien que certains habitués considèrent l'endroit comme une adresse de choix pour un repas décontracté, des préoccupations concernant l'évolution de la qualité de la nourriture et un service parfois décevant laissent certains clients fidèles sur leur faim.
I find myself in a bit of a dilemma while writing this review. After our go-to restaurant closed its doors, my boyfriend & I decided to give its second location a try. Unfortunately, our experience has been quite mixed. The old place set a high standard, though there was an odd situation with a waitress who insisted on dictating tips, that was annoying. Hopefully she won't be back when the restaurant relaunches. This location hasn't been consistent. On several occasions, we ordered the chicken plate only to find it undercooked in various places. Unlike the previous menu, they no longer offer boneless chicken breast, only boneless thighs, which is a noticeable difference in taste. The piri piri sauce seems to lack that rich flavor they used to have. Despite expecting more from their only remaining location, the overall experience was inconsistent, leaving us consistently disappointed. I am not sure if we'll be returning.
This is the worst by far i've had from you! When you barely opened you were soo good & gave great portions & i understand the economy isn't so good these days but i will definitely be going to PFK from now since buying'chicken' from you is clearly impossible now, no all you get for half a chichen is 4 little freaking chickens. PFK definitely does better than you & is way cheaper! You should be ashamed to give service like this & to have your workers justify it with'sometimes the chickens are smaller' or'you ordered more fries therefore the chicken is less'!!!! Wtaf!!! Never again!

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
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.
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
