Hands down les meilleures pupusas a MTL. Le curtido & sauce tomate sont on point! (C'est rarement que les 2 sont bons) belle ambiance & staff super poli

La comida aquí está sabrosa, me gusta la sopa de mondongo, si es el sabor casero, venden mucho, a veces toca esperar mesa. Pedí un plato con carne asada, pero la carne no era la mejor me toco con un poco de pellejo y era dura de cortar, el guacamole no es el verdadero porque no tiene chile jalapeno, no pica nada y el picó de gallo, tampoco tiene chile, no saben mal pero es bueno saber que no está completa la receta. Los meseros son amables, pero no van seguido a ver que necesitamos. Pero a pesar de todo si volveré, los precios son razonables. Es uno de los mejores restaurantes salvadorenos que conozco hasta ahora aunque sus pupusas no son las más sabrosas, las de frijoles están sabrosas, el curtido está bien, pero su salsa de tomate no es sabrosa es muy insípida y líquida.

Resto familial avec de l'excellente bouffe 💗 les déjeuners sont incroyables & leur café me rappelle celui de mon pays natal. Je recommande hautement le déjeuner complet (oeufs, tortilla de maïs, fêta & avocat) avec 3 options, soit les frijoles, le plantain & le chorizo. Aussi, l'option au dessus est le plat El Despertar avec un tamal en plus! Quand il y a beaucoup de clients qui arrivent le service est ralenti mais le personnel est très gentil. J'y retourne c'est sûr!

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.
