Le serveur fait erreur sur la facture & parle avec les employers au lieu de prendre le temps avec les clients ! La comida es excellante al menos !

Me gustaba mucho este restaurante, toda mi familia y yo hibamos a comer, pero desde hace algunos meses todo cambió, cuando fui la última vez me decepcionaron, las pupusas bien pequeñas y no tenían nada de relleno, era solo tortilla , y las pupusas de queso, todo el queso salido de la pupusa y quemado.

Très bon restaurant! Cuisine très goûteuse & ambiance agréable! Tout ce que j'ai mangé était très bon & c'est plaisant de goûter à des plats salvadoriens (si vous y allez, les pupusas sont incontournables!). Bref, j'y retournerai, c'est certain!

C'était notre première visite à ce restaurant & nous y retournerons sans aucun doute. La nourriture était excellente & fraîche. Les pupusas sont excellents, bien meilleur que dans le resto le plus couru à Mtl, pour ne pas le nommer. Les yucas & le porc frit étaient également excellent. L'huile à friture était neuve & cela paraissait dans la nourriture.
La serveuse nous avait averti d'un service plus lent à cause du manque de cuisinier mais honnêtement nous avons eu nos boissons à l'intérieur de 2 minutes après la commande & notre repas principal, 10 minutes après la commande. Cela me semble plus que très raisonnable. Un petit resto sympa à visiter!

Quelque chose à la fois délicieux & différent ? C'est ça leur menu!
(à chaque fois que j'y vais,je dois absulement prendre leur "platanos con crema" : Une délice!)

La cérise sur le gateau ?Les prix : Tous leur plats sont abordables & si vous y allez en groupe,ils ont des "combos" pour 3-4 personnes qui valent vraiment la peine.

Seul point à noter : Ce resto n'est pas du style "dinner romantique" ou "formel".

------------
platanos con crema,Yucca,...Now,if you want something different & delicious this the place!& yes, i love their prices too lol

I think their vibe is more friends gathering/group than romantic or formal dinner but i looooove their food :)
