Restaurant El Amigo — Restaurant in Montreal

To be honest, some of the worst food I’ve had world wide. The family decided to try the restaurant as we were looking for pupusas in Montreal and came across it. No one inside (first hint to skip) but we gave it a chance. Parents ordered horchata and it tasted like water with flour (not authentic taste, grainy) the pupusas had zero flavour and was mainly just flour with no contents inside. My partner ordered calamari as it looked nice on the menu, when it came it looked nothing like it and was clearly frozen bag calamari store bought and super oily. All in all, we expressed our discontent in a friendly manner and was received with a oh well sorry. Wouldn’t...

I have been here three other times and the food was delicious! Yesterday, Saturday February 21, 2015, was my th time after a very long time. The food was excellent the atmosphere was very nice also. It is a hole in the wall but the food is genuine and authentic El Salvadorian cuisine. I had with me my daughter and a friend of mine which was her first time and she absolutely loved it. The owners are wonderful down home people. If I would go there again??? A definite YES!!! The prices? Very affordable. My daughter and I together came to$29.00. The plates are full and overflowing. I didn't finish my plate and my friend took her left overs home. El Amigo...

This is my favourite restaurant. It's called "The Friend", and I feel like it's my friend. I love to go here with my -- you guessed it -- friends, and have a nice meal. I like that it's BYOB. I like to have a drink with my meal, but I don't like paying $10 for one mass-produced beer. This place lets me have a few mass-produced beers with my meal, and they don't charge me any extra to do it. I always smile when I walk past here, because I remember all the good times I've had in these walls. I like to eat here on my birthday, because your birthday is a special day when you get to do what you love. And what I love is eating...
