LaTorteria

Mexican Latin American Tacos

Review Summary

LaTorteria is noted for bringing Mexican style sushi to Montreal, with strong praise for Aguachile and Norteno and anticipation for the promised platanito, while the tacos are generally flavorful and stand out compared with many spots in town where flavor is lacking, though the pineapple in the pastor tacos could be cut more for easier eating. The tiny, cute spot is praised for fresh, juicy pineapple and tender al pastor with bold flavors, with exclamations like super rico and even claims of best tacos ever and a hidden gem. Dishes such as the torta cubana with pork are described as delicious and generously portioned, horchata is mentioned as shareable, and service is noted as friendly. A later update notes meat freshness dipping in one review, but overall the sentiment remains strong and LaTorteria earns high recommendations.View restaurant profile

Review Summary

Overall, Norte delivers good drinks and solid burritos, but the food shows inconsistency with a chicken quesadilla that looks like a taco and birria tacos that lack cheese and dipping broth, and prices that feel high for what is offered, leaving some guests disappointed.View restaurant profile
