Excellent restaurant salvadorien! J'y suis allée plusieurs fois, en famille & entre amis. Le service est toujours chaleureux, les serveurs sont d'une grande gentillesse & te reconnaissent après quelques visites. La nourriture est délicieuse (pupusas, plats de viande, déjeuners) & les prix sont très honnêtes. Je recommande vivement!

Définitivement le meilleur restaurant Salvadoreno à Montréal. Prix très compétitif surtout lorsque d'autres restaurants vendent les pupusas à 5$ chaque! Ceci ne sont pas très grands ou trop petits. Leur format est identique aux pupusas traditionnels. Comme boisson , la horchata est 100% authentique. Chez d'autre restaurant il rajoute trop de lait & la couleur trop pâle. Je le recommande à tous.

Difficile de trouver à Montréal le vrai bon goût des pupusas de El Salvador. Du fromage au chicharrón qui goûte plutôt à de la viande ordinaire. Pour le prix qu'on paie, on s'attendrait à quelque chose de mieux.
