Alejandro offers a warm, inviting Mexican brunch experience with flavorful, authentic dishes, generous portions, and thoughtful touches like fruit plates, smoothies, and complimentary bread. The vibe is welcoming, with friendly staff who often go the extra mile, though service can be slow when the restaurant is short-staffed and a few orders can be delayed or mixed up. The menu is diverse and mostly clearly executed, with many dishes adaptable to vegetarian options, and the menu accessed via QR codes on the tables is common. Highlights frequently cited include fresh, homemade tasting food, the hot chocolate, and standout items like chilaquiles, omelettes, and various Benedict-style dishes. Occasional drawbacks include a small bathroom, water refills not always provided, sometimes burnt bread, and a few consistency issues. Overall, Alejandro is considered a top choice for brunch and a place many would return to with friends despite a few service glitches.
Super friendly service with a couple unexpected treats before the meal: a nice pecan bread & really good smoothie shots. Food itself was great, I had a nice fusion poutine, (massive) pancakes, burrito, & benedict were all good too. Hot chocolate was lovely! People told us to go to the Village & I figured brunch would be the best time for it - I was right. 10/10 experience.
Our server was really sweet enough, but the food just didn't cut it. Got the enchiladas & it was dry & the I was not a fan of the sauce. The omelette was also not great. 2/3 of our means we didn't enjoy at all. Won't be going back, there are a ton of better brunch places in the city.

My son had me come here -not even my favorite type of food, but place so cute, portions so large, staff so nice, & the nice touches of the fruit & cake served as an appetizer made it worthy of 5 stars.
Very nice brunch place. Easy to make reservation & very fast response. Interesting Mexican fusion menu for decent price. The food combos were nice, unexpected, but I was not so crazy about it. Filter coffee is included in the price. Great service & nice ambiance.

Mexican brunch is such a great niche, every single one of us loved our meals & drinks, the abuelita hot chocolate was DIVINE & even better with a shot of espresso. Prices seemed very fair for the portions & quality. The city has a lot of brunch spots that rely heavily on aesthetic but serve small portions or mediocre food, so it feels like a real gem to find a place which nails each aspect. The staff was great too, felt well taken care of & attended to.
I came here for brunch & it was absolutely fabulous. The server brought free samples of the smoothies for us to try. Everything was delicious & the price was very reasonable for the quality. 10/10
Unexpectedly, this was one of the best meals I had in a recent visit to Montreal. They have a nice outdoor seating area, great for sunny days. I ordered the Encacahuatadas (chicken + black bean enchiladas with tomato sesame peanut sauce). It was fantastic! Though I would have preferred that the dish was warmer when it arrived at table. Also, I thought the orange juice was kind of thin & lacking in flavor. The little mini-smoothie amuse bouche was delicious & a nice beginning to the meal.
Great food, friendly service. You can tell they put a lot of love into their food. Flavourful, & a lots of interesting things to try. Only complaint is a poor tea selection, but that seems to be everywhere in Montreal.
Alejandro is one of my go-to spot for solid brunch offerings where I can always count on authentic Mexican cuisine. The welcoming atmosphere, my friendly paisana 🇨🇴 who has always made sure my guests & I feel right at home, & true gems like the Oaxacan style hot chocolate are particularly decadent. Honestly, everything on the menu is delicious & I can't wait to visit them again during my next MTL adventure ❣️
The food here is AMAZING. I went two days in a row, & got the Escondite, the Eggs Benedict, & the El Sol smoothie. Everything was so fresh & delicious, I seriously can't wait to go again & try more items!
J'avais demander si ils avaient des lattée, ' serveuse m'a clairement spécifié que oui, finalement je me retrouve avec du café filtre & du lait pour 6$, je n'y retournerai plus
