Review Summary

Monteiro Express is widely praised for flavorful grills, fresh ingredients, and a welcoming, efficient service in a great location. Reviewers highlight generous portions, reasonable prices, and a menu that includes grilled meats, bowls, and poutine, with chicken dishes in particular earning high praise. The staff are described as warm, attentive, and professional, making guests feel well cared for throughout the visit. Overall impressions lean very positive, with many calling it a standout halal option in town and a place they would return to. A few critiques mention inconsistency in flavor, occasional table cleanliness issues, and some ordering or pricing hiccups, but these are far outweighed by the strong value, tasty meals, and lively atmosphere that keep customers coming back.

Ordered the chicken bowl with salad, rice, & fries. Calling it'bland' would be generous. The rice & fries had absolutely no flavor, & the chicken was so lightly seasoned it felt like a conceptual idea of seasoning rather than actual food.

So I tried to save it by seasoning it myself & asked for salt & pepper. I was told they don't have any. A restaurant that serves food but doesn't have salt or pepper somehow explains everything perfectly. If even the customers aren't allowed to season the food, I guess flavor just isn't part of the concept here.

Wild experience. Fully deserves the one star. Would not recommend unless you're actively trying to avoid taste.

Not very clean, French fries not cooked enough. Chicken was cold.
Go to poulet rouge across the street instead. I must add to be fair that they have a great potential if they master the cooking of their stuff.
