Restaurant El Amigo

What a gem of a place! Lacking in atmosphere but the food more than compensates. Staffed by a single elderly man who both took & prepared our order. His service was pretty satisfactory, but his cooking was great! Menu had a nice variety of dishes spread between Salvadoran & Mexican cuisine. The prices blew me away with how good they were, I ended up ordering 2 pupusas as well as an entire platter. If it wasn't so out of the way for me, I'd come here on the regular & ensure he stays in business.

I came here at 1pm and was the only customer. The bread was prepared fresh but it is hard to believe that the dish itself was prepared this week! I chose to come because of the good reviews; however, the moment I entered I got doubtful. The environment does not seem clean. Maybe if the store gets cleaner and redecorated more people come and consequently the food would be served fresher.

Really enjoyed the food! Not spicy like I was expecting; but rather very flavourful and delicious! What a pleasant surprise! The owner was so kind too; recommended strongly!

The chimichangas and right over there the steak ranchero:) AMAZING! If you’re looking for an authentic meal this BYOB is the one place I can easily say is like having a meal at their family table. And the black bean sauce!?!? The best I’ve ever had! The chef gave us a container to take home! Hugged the chef before leaving too:) I’ll be here again!

I think it’s pretty ok. The owner is nice, tortilla is fresh. Salad could use a bit less dressing. I feel like the decor could really use an upgrade, seems like it’s from 1980s. Overall not bad, chicken was a bit salty

Loved the food. It was amazing. Couldn’t have had any better. The place is cozy and the owner is lovely. Shouldn’t miss out on this place!

One of the most authentic Restaurant in Montreal that offers dishes from El Salvador. The place take you back in time to the corner restaurant of Central America. Good menu and fresh ingredients. If you don’t mind the luck or air conditioner them is the place for a quick lunch or dinner.

I visited this restaurant for a school event with colleagues. I tried couple of dishes involving rice, beans, pork, shrimps and potatoes. Overall, the food was good with a glass of wine. The ambience is basic.
