Par contre, déconseillé aux personnes allergiques aux arachides. Tout est en contact.

Très décevant.

Aujourd'hui, je suis allé manger seul dans ce restaurant pour manger des pupusas. J'ai attendu plus d'une heure avant de recevoir mes quatre pupusas. Je sais que l'attente a dépassé une heure, car j'avais appelé quelqu'un pendant que j'attendais &, en regardant l'heure par la suite, j'ai constaté qu'une heure complète était déjà passée.

Après cette longue attente, la cuisine m'a offert une pupusa supplémentaire pour accommoder le délai. J'ai apprécié le geste.

Mais le pire est arrivé en mangeant. J'ai remarqué quelque chose d'écrit dans ma choucroute. En regardant de plus près, j'ai réalisé qu'un bon de commande s'était retrouvé mélangé dans la choucroute & avait commencé à fondre. À partir de ce moment-là, j'ai complètement perdu l'appétit.

Le serveur, Salvador, était présent, mais malheureusement, il n'y a eu aucune véritable excuse ni aucun accommodement pour cet incident. Après avoir attendu plus d'une heure & retrouvé un bon de commande dans ma nourriture, je m'attendais au minimum à ce que la situation soit prise au sérieux.

Je comprends que des erreurs puissent arriver, mais retrouver un morceau de bon de commande dans sa nourriture est un problème sérieux, particulièrement sur le plan de l'hygiène.

Très mauvaise expérience. Je suis reparti extrêmement déçu.

My friend kept raving about this place, so we finally went & just wow, the food here is SO good. I still think about it all the time. Do I move back to Montreal for the food? The suburbs are just endless Tim Hortons & McDonalds. Sigh.

Anyways, the vibe here is friendly, cozy, just overall a great spot to share a meal with friends.
