Mama sofia pupuseria — Restaurant in Montreal

Had this for lunch today, and i have to say: best pupusas I have ever eaten in Montreal, no contest. I have had them at restaurants like La Carreta, and at spots like Marche David, but these were the best flavor, value, and choices. We tried the pork cheese, lorocco/cheese, and the Sofia (has everything in it). The Sofia was our favorite; the lorocco/cheese was good, but the cheese is very rich so don't overdo it! Pork/cheese was also delicious. Unlike some places, the fillings are very well seasoned here.

The prices seemed a bit higher (ex: the Sofia was 4.75 each), but when we got our portions we saw it was absolutely worth it: these were huge pupusas, and they were NOT cheap with the filling. You could very easily make a meal of 2 pupusas with curtido (the tasty cabbage slaw that comes with it) if you aren't starving, and it would probably cost 7 bucks unless you go for the most expensive varieties. They also have a number of other things, such as Salvadoran soup and several kinds of tamales.

I gave this place a 4 for atmosphere because it is a Latin grocer in a basement with a couple of tables, and I know some people prefer more from a restaurant. Personally, I love this type of neighborhood vibe! It was very clean, and the service was very nice. Food was super fresh, prepared in about 10-15 minutes, and packaged snugly so everything stayed warm on the way home.

This is the sort of neighborhood business that deserves to thrive. I will definitely be coming back to this place more as the weather...

I really trusted you all with all the good reviews but this place was very unsanitary. I’ve never published a review before but I felt the need to say something: All the waiters were sick and coughing in their hands and then proceeding to handle our food. It was quite disgusting and my group and I wanted to leave the restaurant. The food was decent but not something that I would go crazy for. Doesn’t deserve the high...

Authentic Salvadorian cuisine with lovely family members serving the community fresh foods, the papusas are made fresh and hot for takeout served with pickled cabbage and red tomato sauce/spicy or non spicy for dipping. Grocery items on shelves replaced the dinning experience since covid-19..

welcoming business friendly services.. Will return soon 😋👌delish Also serve...
