Je recommande vraiment Restaurant El Chalateco si vous cherchez de la vraie cuisine salvadorienne à Montréal. Les pupusas sont honnêtement les meilleures que j'ai mangées en ville , toujours fraîches, pleines de saveur. Les prix sont super raisonnables, les portions généreuses, & le staff est incroyablement gentil & accueillant. On se sent vraiment bien dès qu'on entre. L'ambiance & la nourriture me donnent l'impression d'être au Salvador à chaque visite. 🇸🇻❤?
