If you're looking for reliable Mexican comfort food in the heart of downtown, 3 Amigos remains a staple. We dropped in on a Wednesday evening & were thoroughly impressed by the value & efficiency, making it an ideal choice for a pre-show meal.
The Atmosphere & Service:
Despite it being a mid-week night, the vibe was lively. We were heading to a show & were quite conscious of the time, but the service was impressively quick. The staff was attentive & ensured we weren't rushing through our meal while still getting us out the door on schedule.
The Food & Drink:
• Margaritas: We started with the house margaritas, which were served in their signature'Sol' glassware. They were perfectly balanced-refreshing, tangy, & not overly sweet. The salted rim & lime garnish were the classic touch needed to kick off the night.
• Tacos: I opted for the classic tacos, while my friend had the shrimp fajitas. Both were delicious & hit the spot. The shells were crisp, the fillings were well-seasoned, & they came served with a generous side of Mexican rice, refried beans, & a fresh salad.
• The Experience: The portions are hearty, & the presentation is exactly what you want from a casual Mexican spot-vibrant & satisfying.
The Verdict:
The standout feature here is undoubtedly the unbeatable price. Finding a sit-down meal in Centre-Ville that is this tasty & affordable is a rarity.
Highlights:
• Value: A price point that is hard to beat in downtown Montréal.
• Speed: Ideal for diners on a schedule or heading to the nearby theaters.
• Quality: Consistently good comfort food & excellent cocktails.
Whether you're looking for a casual dinner with friends or a quick bite before a concert, 3 Amigos delivers on its promise of great food without breaking the bank. Definitely a'must' for a budget-friendly night out!
Past by this Wednesday today. By luck, they had fajitas special. That I totally enjoy. The fajitas dish costed $11.95 +tax/tip. Affordable & tasty Je suis passé mercredi. Par chance, ils proposaient des fajitas spéciales. J'ai adoré. Le plat de fajitas coûtait 11,95 $ + taxes & pourboire. Abordable & savoureux.
We had a great time eating here & the food was really good. We had the beef special tacos & the veggie fajitas. The veggies were loaded-not just peppers & onions. The tortillas were soft & tasty. We also liked the peach & classic margaritas. The churros were also piping hot & delicious!

On the evening of May 15th, our family of six embarked on a culinary escapade to 3 Amigos Montreal, & what transpired was nothing short of a delightfully memorable experience, seasoned with laughter, charm, & a generous sprinkle of guacamole.
Upon arrival, we were greeted by a host who can only be described as the embodiment of charisma-an older gentleman with a twinkle in his eye, a sharp wit in his back pocket, & the welcoming warmth of an old friend. His impeccable hospitality set the tone for the evening, transforming our dinner into a lively & laughter-filled gathering.
The food? Sublime. Each dish arrived bursting with vibrant flavors, artfully plated & generously portioned. From sizzling fajitas to perfectly spiced enchiladas, every bite felt like a love letter to Mexican cuisine. The children found joy in the colorful presentations, while the adults savored the depth of the seasonings & the evident care behind each dish.
The atmosphere buzzed with the kind of festive energy that makes time slip by unnoticed, yet each moment was savored. It was more than a meal-it was a joyful celebration of togetherness, wrapped in tortillas & dipped in salsa.
In a city brimming with culinary choices, 3 Amigos stands out not merely for its food, but for its heart. We left with full bellies, light spirits, & a unanimous promise to return.
Service at this place is great, the people is very nice but I was really disappointed by the food. We took fajitas & tacos, & they were okay. Not great, not bad, just okay. The biggest problem was the pina colada. We decided to take advantage of the 6$ cocktail & ordered the drink with our food. We got the food first & waited quite a while for it. When it finally came it looked as if it had been forgotten on the counter & it tasted it like it too. It had a sort of artificial taste & just wasn't good. It's supposedly their specialty & I think we got a really bad batch because that just wasn't good.
Nous avons eu droit à un service chaleureux & le cocktail à 6 $ (Jeudi Happy Hour) était bon. Le restaurant est propre & agréable. Malheureusement, la qualité de la nourriture nous a déçus. L'entrée de calmars était tiède & caoutchouteuse. Quant aux tacos au boeuf, ils étaient excessivement gras, même en tenant compte du type de plat. La quantité de nourriture pour le prix payé n'en vaut pas le coût pour les fajitas. Dommage.

Went with some friends for the 50% off fajitas as per usual & was pleasantly surprised with the coolest waitress. Mariella went out of her way to accommodate my friend's food sensitivities, was super attentive, charismatic & funny. Such great service & would come back just to hang with Mariella
We were rushed out when the restaurant was empty. The waiter hovered over us the entire time. Salsa & chips were such low quality. Never asked if we wanted another drink or if we wanted dessert. Fajitas were eh but for the price so many better restaurants in town. Also asked if there was one TV that could be changed to the Oscars but was immediately told no & put by the window that had a huge draft.
Si vous aimez les plats de style mexicain, les 3 amigos c'est une valeure sure. Les restos sont toujours immenses & la bouffe est toujours au rdv. J'ai pris les fajitas au boeuf & la poêle qui frétille me rapelle de beau souvenir de jeunesse, quand ce type de plat était au summum de sa popularité au QC. Un must si vous ne l'avez jamais essayé. Les Margaritas sont super appréciés des habitués. C'est pas fancy, mais réponds à tout les critères d'une bonne expérience au restaurant. Ah oui, j'ai aussi pris les bannabes frites dans un tortillas & c'est définitivement un plat à partager, car il y a l'équivalent de 2 bannanes & 1/2. Ça fait un excellent petit desjeuner décadent le ?lendemain, just sayin 😉

Hi, I went there last winter with two of my best friends. We were given a cozy table with a nice view of St. Catherine Street. Of course, I had already sat outside with my family in the summer & I loved it, but this cozy table (although it was very cramped & my friend was pregnant) had a great atmosphere. The drinks were served on time & then the main course! Oh, I can't tell you how much I love the fajitas. Delicious as always, full of flavor & juicy & colorful. But I wish they had used more variety of vegetables besides a mountain of onions. Of course, I know there has been inflation & all businesses have their own strengths, but I wish they hadn't compromised on their quality. I recommend this guys at all, specifically their promotions on different days!
L'ambiance était excellente, festive & décontractée. Le personnel aimable, serviable & efficace. La cuisine divine. Aliments frais, cuisson à point, les saveurs au rendez-vous. Belle présentation (des fajitas dont vous êtes le héros ). Faites comme moi, une première un soir de fajitas à 12$ ...
Fabulous place in Montreal. I hate their tacos & they were fabulous. The fajitas were excellent. Our server was super nice & everything was quick. I am going to come back for sure!
