Ça fait 3 ans que je viens avec mon mari & chaque fois, je commande des pupussas & des tamales, elle sont carrément suculente. Les employés sont très gentil & offre un très bon service.

Je fréquente ce restaurant depuis plusieurs années. Le service est impeccable & que dire que la bouffe, exquise !
Les serveurs ont toujours le sourire aux lèvres & une belle énergie contagieuse.
Je fais le trajet de la rive-sud jusqu'à Montréal pour venir déguster un bon plat salvadorien.
Merci beaucoup la gang du Chaleteco !

Leurs seuls popularité, les popusa, ne sont pas presque pas garnies de fromages. Très décevant pour le prix payé. Ça ne vaut pas la peine.
