Reviews for La Carreta frequently crown the pupusas as the best in Montreal, with many calling them the best in the world and praising generous fillings and flavorful sauces. The menu blends authentic Salvadoran staples with familiar Mexican picks, and drinks such as horchata are described as excellent. Service is often warm and friendly and the atmosphere welcoming and well put together, though a few notes mention long waits on busy nights and the interior sometimes feeling cold or the volume being a bit loud and some feel it has become more expensive than before. Prices are generally seen as fair for the quality, reservations are advised to minimize waits, and the place remains a top destination in Montreal for pupusas, with reviews also highlighting chicharron, tamales, and consistently good food.
Las pupusas son lo mejor, el sabor con las salsas que ponen uff delish delish !! Los tacos de puerco están muy ricos igual. Mi único comentario es deberían tener más variedad de postres
Delicious pupusas, friendly staff - but expect a wait on busy nights
The restaurant is well located & the staff is very friendly & welcoming. The pupusas & the accompanying salad were absolutely delicious & very reasonably priced.
The downside was the long wait: over 45 to 60 minutes to get a table, & then another 30 to 40 minutes for the food to arrive. This happened on a Friday night, which is understandably one of their busiest times.
To avoid the long wait, I strongly recommend making a reservation through their website in advance.
Despite the wait, the kindness of the staff & the quality of the food made it worth it. Definitely a place I'd go back to without hesitation.
Nous avons découvert la cuisine salvadorienne dans un cadre agréable. Pour un groupe de 17 personnes, le service n'a pas été fluide : les plats ont été servis en décalé, ce qui nous a empêché de manger tous en même temps.
J'adore la carreta surtout les pupusas au fromage, elles sont devenue mes préféré… habituellement je prends les revueltas mais dernierement ça goute bcp au gras de la viande que la viande… les chicharrones aussi les deux dernières fois que noud avons commandées les yuka & chicharron cest plus de gras que de viandes…. Cest la seule chose que j'ai moin aimé dernierement. Apart de ça cest la Horchata est delicieuse!!! L'athmosphere & le service est impecable.
