They have 6 combo deals ($11.00 to $16.49) if you order before 5:00pm and you get to choose your pupusa/tamale/drink. - Curtido and salsa roja - salsa was thin, watery style - Platano con crema ($4.50) - decent but could have been crispier and more caramelized - Combo #3 ($16.49) - 1 pupusa (de chicharron), yuca con chicharron and a drink (guayaba). Yuca was excellent and came with several chunks of fried pork - Combo #6 ($12.50) - 1 tamal (pollo), 2 pupusas (revuelta and de queso y espinaca) and a drink (horchata). Pupusas were tasty. Chicken tamale was moist and fluffy. Horchata was nicely spiced

Don't skip on the plantain and sour cream starter!! They give you a WHOLE giant plantain that's been cooked to super sweet and velvety perfection. I love these and they're really hard to find! This is now a super favorite spot just for these. Had the chicken breast plate which came with a large salad and rice + beans. The rice was super good, cooked way better than most places. The chicken had some spices on it but there wasn't anything too special about the plate. They have a lot of authentic drinks too, my favorite is Horchata which was spiced just right. Cinnamon and maybe some nutmeg in there. Perfection! The staff was very very nice too, although a bit slow at the end when waiting for a box. At the register, we striked up a conversation about plantains which was enlightening. I'll definitely be coming back for more papusas and plantains.

At quick glance it was well lit and seemed proper. The terrace is cute. I took a tortilla soup and a chicken pupusa. The soup was extremely salty that I basically left it almost full. The pupusa was not flavorful at all and even with the salsa and pickles, I was not impressed. I am hoping that this was due to an off-day or something, as the location itself is promising. But otherwise, I will not be coming back, unfortunately.

The lone waiter on this day was nice, though he could have been more aggressive trying to keep people fed and drinking given how few people were there. We mentioned 2 times that we wanted a pitcher of sangria, but he came out with red. It was pretty, and he mixed it at the table. It didn't have much complexity, though, and usually I like my sangria a little booze-ier. There's also currently a 1L Kronbacher beer special for $10. While well-priced, the food was pretty meh. The guacamole ($6) was small and needed more flavor. The tacos were also not very tasty and wet, so the tortilla part broke very easily. Maybe we just didn't order the right stuff. Thankful for the option on that day, but I wouldn't go out of my way to go again.

We sat down at a long table (the restaurant is a good size and pretty large groups could definitely enjoy a meal here together). We all had some pupusas (with the traditional toppings) and horchata (one of my favorite drinks on a hot day) - delicious. The interior of the restaurant is traditional, charming, and very comfortable. The service was excellent - everyone was so kind and warm. It was a great meal to start a day of exploring the rich food culture of the Jean-Talon area of Montreal. I would happily return.

Behind the restaurants there were several parking spots reserved for the customers. We had several plates to share. A tortilla soup, a fish ceviche, pupusa, a platter with fried pork and manioc to share. The soup was very good, thick and flavourful, very filling. The full portion would make a meal. I had a small one to share. The fish ceviche was sooo good. The freshly grounded black peppercorns and the lemon juice make the dish so fresh. And the chips were crunchy. Pupusa is new to me. I liked it. From the picture you can't tell it has filling inside. The fried pork was ok, and it would be better if with some spicy sauce. I would trade it for some tacos next time. Nevertheless it's my first time to try manioc, and I liked it. This place is a hidden gem.

This review refers to the one item I tried via take-out. Since I heard the chef was actually from…read moreEl Salvador I had to try one of their pupusas; which did not disappoint. It was one of the best I've ever had, since I discovered what they were (sort of Latin pancake or griddlecake) years ago on trip. This one was mixed with white cheese and Loroco (which is a part of a local flower and a classic item to have blended in). The pupusa came with chopped cabbage and a mild tomato salsa that is more orange than red. Both in little plastic baggies which is super authentic. It was also larger (meaning wider) than most I've tried and so at $4 each they are fairly priced. Note: Their menu has several Mexican and Italian dishes on it as well, so it covers a nice range of dishes. The chef was trained in Italy, so that would explain the Italian dishes. They have just put up a new large menu in the front window which is a nice improvement from the rain stained ones they had hanging from the front wall of their terrace before that.
