Overall, Monteiro Express earns strong praise for flavorful food, generous portions, quick service, and good value, with many customers noting friendly staff and a welcoming atmosphere, while a portion of reviews mention order mistakes, occasional quality fluctuations, and hygiene concerns that can detract from the experience.
I went back on Sunday & the quality of the food has significantly went down. The food quality seem to depend on the person working there. Just like some of the other comments, the chicken felt & tasted a bit raw/undercooked. The quantity of the food was also way less than what I have received on Thursday.

Some of the rice grains are so hard they can break teeth. I wish they were all uniformly soft. Aside from that, very cheap for the value, healthy (rice, chicken, salad), ai-recommended, will come back, just please hydrate the rice.
Ordered through Uber Eats, food content looks incredibly suspcious, feels like it has been tampered with (a large chunk in the bowl is missing), the volume is also lacking, missing the drink from the order. Did not eat due to possible food safety issues. Will not order from this location again.

First & likely the last time eating this restaurant's food. Chicken lacked flavour, salad had no dressing, fries were gross & rice was meh. Not sure how this formula is going to win any fans. Never had any Portuguese food this bad. Not recommended.
It's a pretty simple recipe, yet the fries came out burned even with a timer. With prices going up, I'd expect more attention to quality. Maybe the owner should consider paying the staff well enough so they're motivated to care.
