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.

The food quality here was completely unacceptable. The french fries were heavily overcooked, dry, & distinctly burnt. To make matters worse, the burger bun was so incredibly stale & dried out that it was literally cracking & breaking into pieces the moment it was touched. Total waste of money. Would not recommend.

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.
