Definitely a fantastic find and #1 visit on our stop list from our Yelp Elite food tour. Many moons ago our family helped a Salvadoran family get settled into Canada and I had the opportunity to try out papusas and tamales. So it was so satisfying to try them again as it had been over 15 years. Their papusas are very light and have a nice filling of pork. Them on the table was a big jar of horchata and by request they brought out a nice (creeper) of a hot sauce that was complex in flavour and a light cumin taste. Also there was a tomato based sauce that evened out the flavour! It was outstanding!
To wash it down was a nice milk based drink that had a slight cinnamon flavour as well. The mixing of flavours was very complimentary and enjoyable.
Eating Salvadoran food makes me wonder why Mexican food is so popular? Probably and evidently because it's border is the US. I think Salvadoran food has opportunity to become a very up and coming trend in foods. It's akin to how Chinese food was the only Asian food and now you see Japanese, Korean & Vietnamese and Indian food starting to grown in popularity! Montreal still has room to grow for Malay or Indonesian.
Overall I need to come back here for a full meal! Really solid, different and delicious!
