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!

Hicimos una prueba para encontrar las mejores pupusas en Montreal y éstas son las mejores. Lo único que tienen que mejorar es la salsa que está muy líquida, pero el resto es excelente!
