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.
You put the Atmosphere with those you are with. The Popusas for my taste are the best have gone to other placeses but always return to the Originales. Buen Provecho 😋.
Service déplorable ! Tout est payant, & les plats sont très basiques, trop basiques pour justifier un prix aussi élevé. Les pupusas étaient immondes : de la pâte presque sans garniture. J'ai commandé du chicharron au cochon d'Inde, & c'était fade, sans aucun goût. C'était la première & la dernière fois que j'y mangeais ! Je le déconseille fortement ! J'espère qu'ils verront cet avis & qu'ils s'amélioreront ! J'ai dépensé près de 100 $ pour une expérience désastreuse.
Best pupusas in all Montreal. Mejores pupusas de todo Montreal. I've tried various places & this one is the best by farrrrr. They are tasty, juicy & perfect.

Awesome Salvadoran restaurant with some familiar Mexican picks on the menu as well. The prices are fantastic & so is the quality. Service was very friendly & personable. The interior is well put together, the mural in the corner paying homage to Bukele is unique.
Man, have I missed this place & their perfect pupusas! The food was terrific - my steak was exactly medium-rare & the pork that accompanied it was a welcome addition. Excellent portions.
Being Salvadoran, I confirm this is 100% authentic. Food quality is consistently great. Service is really good & prices are fair for the quality you get. Fully recommended!
Très bel endroit, bien décoré, toujours de de la bonne petite musique typique en background pour mettre l'ambiance!
Les pupusas sont excellents, sans aucun doute les meilleurs dans tout montréal !
Ils sont très généreux dans la viande & le fromage a l'intérieur, le choux maison est excellent & la sauce piquante exceptionnelle!!
Le gérant est très impliqué dans son travail & parmis ses équipes, c'est très respectable. Il fait du beau travail & il a toujours le sourire. Le père, Mr.José est très sympathique également.
