Unfortunately, my experience at 3 Amigos was disappointing. From the moment we walked in, the restaurant felt unclean-the floors were sticky, & the tables hadn't been properly wiped down. It wasn't a great first impression. The bathroom looked nasty.
Service was another issue. It took far too long for a server to even acknowledge our table, & once they did, the overall attentiveness was lacking. We had to wait quite a while just to place our order, & getting refills or follow-ups was just as slow.
When the food finally arrived, it was overcooked & excessively greasy. Everything we ordered seemed to be drenched in oil, which made it heavy & unappetizing. The flavors were not bad, saved by cheese mostly.. but the poor execution made it hard to enjoy. It felt like the kitchen wasn't paying much attention to quality control.
For the prices they charge, I expected much better service & food. Unfortunately, between the unclean environment, the long wait times, & the disappointing meal, I can't say I'd return anytime soon. There are definitely better restaurants out there that provide a much better experience
Went there for fish taco's & they were just ok. Have had better but also had worse. We went back a couple nights later at 9:30 & was turned away saying they were closed. Google says their hours are open to 10. Very disappointed

I don't know about others but Amigos Poblanos Del Mar is the best seafood pasta I ever had! From this time onwards my visit to Montreal will always include this pasta from here!!
Service was great. Food was absolutely delicious. Group of 5 people with food allergies & picky eaters & everyone raved about their food. Our plates were full of delicious food. The prices were great. I cannot recommend The 3 Amigos enough.
Je suis une habituée de ce restaurant, les plats sont vraiment bons ainsi que les cocktails.
Par contre j'ai été extrêmement déçu du service de la jeune fille cette semaine. Service beaucoup trop long, la présentation des quesadillas n'était pas la bonne, & le plat de mon conjoint était extrêmement salé de gros morceaux de sel (saumons à l'avocat). Aucun geste commercial !!
Payer 158$ don un tips de 15% mérite le respect ou des jeunes respectueux!

We began with complimentary chips & salsa. The chips were fresh & crunchy, but the salsa lacked flavor & could have benefited from more seasoning & spice to elevate the dish.
For drinks, I had the Mambo Mojito ($11.95), which was refreshing & perfectly balanced, with a great mix of pomegranate, mango, & mint. My friend went with the Don Julio Margarita ($15.95), which was strong & smooth-ideal for those who enjoy a potent margarita with a bit of bite.
For the main course, we ordered the Smash Burger (double beef patty, lettuce, red onions, tomatoes, cheese, Ancho Chile aioli, served with fries). While decent, the burger didn't wow us. It could have used more sauce or some jalapenos for extra flavor. We also tried the Shrimp & Steak Fajitas, which, unfortunately, were not as flavorful as expected. To make matters worse, the waiter forgot to bring the tortillas, so by the time they arrived, the fajitas had cooled down. Although the waiter apologized multiple times for the oversight, the issue was compounded when dessert was offered as compensation, but we were still charged for the churros.
We ordered Churros with Nutella for dessert ($6.96), which were tasty but didn't stand out as anything extraordinary. They were a nice touch, but the experience left us feeling that the overall meal could have been more consistent.
Overall, 3 Amigos offers a lively, fun experience with excellent drinks & a few solid dishes, but it falls short in food consistency & service. The mistakes with the fajitas & the unaddressed issue of the dessert charge left something to be desired. It's a good spot for a casual meal, but there's definitely room for improvement in both food quality & service efficiency.
