| - OMG, I love this place. I've been here over a dozen times and have never had a bad meal. The pupusas are the absolute best (range from $2.10 - $2.50 each). Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and they come piping hot. You can hear them slapping the dough in the kitchen when you order them - so you know they are made fresh to order. My favourite are the chicken and cheese ones. I have to admit that I usually just gorge on pupusas but I have ordered other things here as well:
Chicken Tamales - $2.30: Good, but nothing remarkable (I'd rather have the pupusas).
Campo Combination Plate (chicken taco, chicken enchilada, rice, beans and salad) - $12.50: Very tasty with lots of chicken. The salad is iceberg/romaine though, not real mixed greens.
Calamari - $7.75: Tender calamari rings fried to perfection. Not rubbery or chewy at all. One of the best places for calamari.
Seafood Paella - $18.25: Lots of seafood: calamari rings, shrimp, fish and mussels. Calamari rings were so tender, shrimp were large and tasty, fish tasted fresh and didn't smell fishy, mussels were a good size and delicious. The only slightly negative thing was that the rice was a little on the dry side, but it still tasted really good.
This place is on a little side street in Little Italy and looks like nothing much from the outside. It's a mom and pop joint with tasty authentic food. Most of the customers are Spanish-speaking and many people come for takeout. Prices are good and portions are generous. Service is polite and competent.
If you love pupusas and are in Montreal you have to check this place out!
