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.
Très bon restaurant ! La nourriture était excellente, fraîche & bien préparée. Le service était rapide & les employés étaient vraiment gentils, respectueux & accueillants. On voit qu'ils travaillent fort pour offrir une belle expérience aux clients. Je recommande fortement !
Je donne 10/10 à ce restaurant ! La nourriture est vraiment délicieuse, tout est frais & bien préparé. Le restaurant est propre, beau & l'ambiance est agréable. Les personnes qui cuisinent sont très gentilles, accueillantes & on voit qu'elles mettent du coeur dans leurs plats. Le service est excellent & j'ai adoré mon expérience. Je recommande ce restaurant à tout le monde !
Unfortunately, it seems it has been hard to keep up with the demand at such a low price. Portions have gotten outrageously out of control, & by that I mean small. Standards have gone down. The low prices are noble but the amount given & quality has simply gone down.
I usually go to a different Monteiro restaurant, but since this one was close to me I decided to try it & it was very disappointing. I got Bol Piri Express.
The portion was extremely low than what I usually get, & they did not put any toppings. There was barely any sauce which made the whole bowl just stale & dry.
Surprisingly the chicken was cold & smelled so terrible, like it was made in the washroom. Waste of 25$
It's a shame because looking at the reviews it seemed like the place would be as good as the others, but upon entering it was empty (which makes sense now) & even the worker had an attitude.
Overall a very dissappointing experience, definitely to avoid.

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.
