Je suis allé au Montero sur Rachel & au mon dieux. Je me suis senti super bien accueille par la dame au comptoir. C'est rare de voir ça pour de vrai. 11/10 mon expérience. C'est recommandé!!!!!!!!
Came in at the end of the night as they were stacking the chairs away & the service & food were still 10/10. The poutine is great, they grilled the chicken to order.
Superbe découverte. On prévoyait manger dans un autre restaurant mais la file était trop longue. Un bon feeling pour Monteiro comme « second choix ». WoW!!! Tellement content. C'est délicieux. Prix vraiment très abordable, service impeccable & très rapide. Juste du positif.

Monteiro - Portuguese Flavor, Fast & Full of Heart 🇵🇹🔥
I was invited to the Rachel location of Monteiro to try their $10.99 Express Menu, & honestly? It was such a cozy, flavorful surprise. This Portuguese spot is family-owned, halal, & uses fresh, never-frozen chicken & you can taste the care in every bite.
Every plate is customizable to your spice level, so I tried one of each sauce to really get the full experience.
Here's what I tasted:
🍗 Cuisse Express (BBQ Sauce) - Juicy grilled chicken leg with that sweet-but-balanced BBQ glaze. The fries actually taste like real potatoes (always a win), the salad had a light, refreshing vinaigrette, & the rice gave Spanish rice energy.
🍟 Poutine Express (Mild) - My top pick. The fries were golden & crispy, & the combo of squeaky cheese curds, juicy chicken, & rich gravy hit every comfort note.
🌶? Piri Express (Spicy) - This one's for the rice lovers. I went all in with the spiciest sauce, & it delivered bold heat with just enough creaminess to keep things balanced. The sweet corn in the veggie mix paired beautifully with the beans & rice… cozy, filling, & full of flavor.
🧄 Algerian Sauce - I used this for dipping fries & it was so good .. garlicky, spiced, & rich without being overpowering.
🥤 Drinks - I usually go for passionfruit, but the Sumol orange soda surprised me in the best way. It's sweetened with sucralose instead of sugar, so there's a little extra sweetness at the end.
🍮 Pastéis de Nata - Soft, buttery, creamy. A lovely finish to a spice-filled meal.
📝 Side note: I'm not usually a rice girl, so I naturally leaned toward the options with potatoes & they didn't disappoint. If you're not into spice, go for BBQ or mild, but if you like a little heat ? Go for spicy .. The piri piri brings it.
