Personalmente recibi una mala atencion y segun las resenas de otras personas les ha pasado lo mismo, segun veo los meseros tratan a las personas como se les da la gana y no les dan la importancia que se merecen. el propietario no hace nada para mejorar esta situacion, si recibi disculpas de su parte pero veo que la situacion ya se ha presentado en casos anteriores y no se ha hecho nada, de la comida no puedo comentar.

Difficile de trouver à Montréal le vrai bon goût des pupusas de El Salvador. Du fromage au chicharrón qui goûte plutôt à de la viande ordinaire. Pour le prix qu'on paie, on s'attendrait à quelque chose de mieux.
