Les avis sur Restaurant El Amigo soulignent une ambiance chaleureuse et familiale, des portions généreuses et des prix attractifs, avec une carte qui privilégie des plats salvadoriens comme les pupusas et les quesadillas. Certaines critiques vantent le caractère authentique et copieux des plats, d'autres affirment que les pupusas manquent de garniture et que le curtido est peu frais et que la salsa est trop liquide. Des commentaires évoquent aussi des plats parfois réchauffés et pas assez chauds au centre, ainsi qu’un service qui peut être débordé lors des grands groupes et l’absence d’eau à table. La décoration peut sembler simple voire démodée et l’accessibilité en fauteuil roulant est limitée, mais l’ambiance reste réconfortante et l’endroit permet d’apporter son vin ou sa bière; la télévision diffuse des drames en espagnol et l’expérience est souvent perçue comme conviviale et proche d’une cuisine familiale, propice à revenir avec de bons compagnons pour goûter d’autres plats.
You wouldn't expect it walking by but this place is a gem. I can't believe how long it took me to find it & I only went on a recommendation. It's usually empty, & the food is awesome!

This is my favorite mexican/salvadorean restaurant in Mtl. The food is always amazing. The portions are big & the prize is very fair. I always go there at least twice a year for the last 5 years. It never went down in quality throughout the years.
We walked pass & decided to try this restaurant. Great portion of food. Its my first time trying Mexican-Salvadoran dishes. Tastes are good for every dish, i just feel like its not that flavorful for me. Theres only one uncle took the order, prepared the food, friendly service. The atmosphere is old fashioned, not fancy but overall is ok for a quick stop.
The food here brings back the memories of when i was an exchange student in the states! My host family cooked me mexican food almost everyday. When i had my first bite of the black bean, it really remind me of my host family. They cooked me the beat mexcian food that i have ever had in my life. The chef is the server too. He is really lovely & helpful.
Came across this place when strolling around the neighborhood for food. Living in Central America for 3 years this place hit the spot & not very busy. Pupusas were really good. The carne was great. Very nice owner. Reasonable $$ will be back

Great portions for the platters ! Authentic Salvadorean meals, however i do not recommend the pupusas.... They were extremely thin & next to nothing filling ! Sad. Everything else was good.
Fantastic food. Too bad they try to force you into servicecharge after you have paid. Hell no, i am not paying service charge after i have paid bill in full.
What a gem of a place! Lacking in atmosphere but the food more than compensates. Staffed by a single elderly man who both took & prepared our order. His service was pretty satisfactory, but his cooking was great! Menu had a nice variety of dishes spread between Salvadoran & Mexican cuisine. The prices blew me away with how good they were, I ended up ordering 2 pupusas as well as an entire platter. If it wasn't so out of the way for me, I'd come here on the regular & ensure he stays in business.
Really enjoyed the food! Not spicy like I was expecting; but rather very flavourful & delicious! What a pleasant surprise! The owner was so kind too; recommended strongly!

Super bon comme restaurant pour nourriture latine! Pas cher non plus! Je recommande 100% ☆☆☆ Le propriétaire est super sympa aussi, souriant dès qu'on arrive dans le restaurant :)
