Reviews about Mexico consistently praise delicious, authentic Mexican flavors at very affordable prices, noting generous portions and standout dishes like birria tacos, quesabirra, lengua, carnitas, and chilaquiles, plus a large horchata that many say is worth ordering. The location is convenient near the d'Iberville metro station and easily reachable by car with street parking, and service is described as fast, friendly, and family friendly, making it a top choice in Montreal and some call it the best Mexican in Canada. Some comments point to occasional drawbacks, including a special birria option that seems to include less meat and no sauce, extra sauce charges that can affect value, and calls for clearer descriptions or inclusion of sauce to keep the experience coherent; a few reviews mention busy weekends, loud music, or rare concerns about service or cleanliness, but the overall tone remains highly positive with many vowing to return.View restaurant profile
