Excellent! We were really craving pupusas, as we hadn't been able to find a Salvadoran restaurant since we moved. I ordered the beef soup & pupusas rellenas, & everything was very tasty. The atmosphere is simple & relaxed, & the service was quick & efficient. We'll be back here as soon as we return to Montreal.

Friendly service, authentic food, clean place. Their pupusas aren't quite as good as La Carreta, but other menu items like soups, tacos, plantain & Meat dishes are better.

Je prends toujours les pupusas revueltas, c'est toujours bon. Bonne dimension & bon prix pour les pupusas. Le déjeuner est super bon, typique Amérique centrale : oeufs selon votre choix, haricots bruns, plantains, tortillas & crème sûre. Le jus de horchata toujours bon.
