Bonne nourriture. Menu varié. À manger sur place seulement. Je ne suggère pas les commandes pour emporter ou livraison (3 mauvaises expériences). Il manque toujours quelque chose... & quand on appelle, ils disent toujours que tout était là... & d'aller jusqu'au restaurant pour aller le chercher.

It was great finding this place while on vacation in Montreal. The food was excellent & the portions were adequate. We had the yuca frita, carne asada & pupusas & they were delicious!

I liked the pupusas, but we found them small compared to other restaurants.
