Mon commentaire d'il y a 6 ans est toujours d'actualité :
Un très bon repas (copieux) à un prix très raisonnable, dans un lieu sympathique & sans prétention.
Service attentionné mais juste ce qu'il faut pour se sentir bien.
Accessible très facilement car en face de la station de métro Beaubien.
Bref un « sans-faute »

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.
