Love this place our whole family comes here for every since birthday, celebration & anytime we want delicious pupusas! We've tried several spots for pupusas before & nothing compares to this place! This is as close as it gets to authentic pupusas from El Salvador! Also the staff is amazing always really nice & attentive! Also love how they always have YouTube from El Salvador playing, making the whole thing feel put together!

Absolutely delicious food! Everything is flavourful, authentic, reasonably priced the portions are good. they have very interesting combo meals that allow you to try multiple things & have a drink included in the price. I got a delicious & fresh maracuja juice, a pupusa & enchilada. Warm & friendly
service.

I took my Salvadoran boyfriend there for dinner so that I could try authentic Salvadoran food. He was absolutely blown away by how good the food was, & how authentic it was, & a true representation of his food & culinary heritage. We were there about a week ago & he brings it up every day saying how he would like to go back sadly we live in Vancouver so it's pretty unlikely. We'll be back anytime soon, but we will return every time we're in Montreal.

Friendly service, authentic food, clean place. Their pupusas aren't quite as good as La Carreta, but other menu items like soups, tacos, plantain & Meat dishes are better.

Excellent Salvadorean restoraunt in Montreal! A must visit for authentic latin american food 👌 Recommend taking different platters (such as pupusas)to share with friends or family with yuca on the side & trying out drinks like horchata also!
