Delivery experiences can include extras like spring rolls, pastries, and a soft drink, contributing to perceived added value. Service is often praised as fast and friendly in a family owned setting, though a few reviews raise concerns about professionalism or reliability of offers. Taken together, Épicerie Costa appears to be a solid option for large portions, hearty flavors, and affordable pricing, especially for those seeking a mix of Haitian inspired dishes, with some caveats about consistency and authenticity across orders.View restaurant profile

Review Summary

Across the reviews, Tassot Créole is described as one of the best Haitian restaurants in Montreal by some, with food praised for bold flavor, freshness, and spice, including fried goat and a perfectly spicy macaroni, along with strong notes on the banana, rice with beans, and pikliz. Service is repeatedly described as friendly, attentive, and professional, with several reviewers noting prompt delivery and a pleasant dining experience. However, there are caveats: a few delivery orders arrived with the wrong rice or drink, and some portions were judged not to offer value for money, tempering otherwise high praise. Taken together, Tassot Créole is recommended for those seeking authentic Haitian fare, despite mixed feelings about value and occasional delivery issues.View restaurant profile
