Resto Los Planes

Service très lent, manqué de saveur, salade de chou déjà sur la table et pas fraîche. Il y a d’autres meilleur restaurant Salvadorien à Montréal.

Los planes is my first experience with salvadorian food and definitely not my last.
The food is fresh and made to order. The pupusas are little pieces of heaven especially if you add on top the tomato and the homemade spicy sauce. Try the horcheta drink on the side, it’s the perfect complement to the spiciness of the dish.
I can’t believe I’ve waited all this time before trying pupusas. Don’t make the same mistake I did and just go!
Did I mention this place was incredibly cheap?

Love this pupuseria. It is just delicious. Pupusas are light and packed with flavor. Other pupusas I have tried have been greasy and heavy. Now I will never go any other place because in Los Planes, I have found my pupusa match. Love love LOVE the homemade hot sauce. I literally eat it on everything. However, it is VERY spicy and not for the faint of heart.

Definitely a fantastic find and #1 visit on our stop list from our Unilocal 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! Montréal 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!

I would have never found this place had it not been the Unilocal foodie tour, but I’m so glad I got to try it because it’s definitely near the top of my list for authentic cultural food in Montréal.
The family owned genuine feel just makes this place that much more endearing, and you can almost imagine that you are in El Salvador at someone house and their mom or grandma is cooking and serving you food. The pupusas were super tasty and the toppings and garnishes are generously given and equally tasty and homemade.
This is by no means a fancy place, you would not want to go here for a romantic dim lit dinner, you would come here for genuinely great food that makes you forget about what the tables or walls look like, because you’re busy enjoying the flavours in your mouth.
I will definitely go back.

Tres bon restaurant, la bouffe est typiquement salvadorienne! Et ils servent des dejeuners incroyable toute la journee!

Superbe endroit pour manger de la nourriture typiquement salvadorienne ou mexicaine.
Le resto n’a l’air de rien de l’extérieur, mais l’intérieur vient tout juste d’être rénové.
À essayer, les pupusas, les tacos fritos et les enchiladas.
Tout y est excellent et vraiment pas cher.
