Review Summary

Monteiro Express is widely regarded as a go-to spot for affordable, generous, and delicious meals, particularly favored by students and local workers for its flavorful chicken and quality poutine. While many patrons consistently praise the friendly, efficient service and fresh ingredients, some experiences highlight inconsistency in food quality and cleanliness depending on the staff on duty. Overall, the majority of visitors feel the value is exceptional, though a small segment of reviewers suggests there is room for improvement regarding hygiene and culinary consistency.

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.

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.

Really, never in my life I had such an aweful meal. Chicken & rice were enormousely salty. Lettus salad was bitter too. It was impossible to eat the food. My throat was burning by too much salt. The food is too expensive even if it is sold for free.

Amazing high quality food for only 10$!! It also comes with amazing customer service. When I get the bowl, I always ask for half rice & half salad, & even though it's not on their menu they always say yes with a big smile. This just shows how friendly the staff are. Highly recommended

I tried both the rice bowl & the poutine bowl, & while both were good, the poutine was definitely my favorite. The flavors were much better compared to the rice bowl. As for the drinks, I wouldn't recommend the pineapple one-it tasted too much like cough syrup. The orange was okay, but not great. The atmosphere was nice & chill, though it can get crowded at times. Overall, the service was good, & I got my food in under 7 minutes. Parking was on a different rd where the parking was free. It was halal yes.
