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.

J'avais déjà mangé des pupusas à d'autres endroits & je ne peux pas dire que c'était mon plat favori. Mais ici !? Wow !! J'en ai mangé cet après-midi & j'en mangerais encore !! Les prix sont vraiment très bien & je vais devoir goûter d'autres plats car tout avait l'air très bon. Les gens sur place sont vraiment gentils & quelle que soit l'heure, il y a toujours des gens attablés qui mangent avec appétit. Il ne manque que le permis pour vendre du vin ou pouvoir l'apportez nous-mêmes !!
