We lived in the neighborhood & big fan of mexican food & when we saw this new place walking around we decided to give it a chance!

The cocktails are super good & the birria tacos are our go to for a quick lunch on the weekend. Specially with the patio during the summer, you can soak in the sun with a cocktail & good food.

The staff is always amazing specially the indian guy that always remember us & give us great service all the time. Keep it up guys & a go to place if you live around the neighborhood or just passing by.. you can stop for good food & cocktails!

We went to this restaurant at 1pm, a groupe of 6. They brought the salsa & tomatillo salsa to the table, then brought the nachos to nibble on before ordering. The waitress took our orders & they had a lunch special which consists of either Guacamole or pico de gallo with nachos as an entrée with our meal, in addition to 1 Churro at the end for dessert. The ambiance is good, not noisy. The food was very good, typical of good quality food as in Mexico. The Birria tacos was so delicious! 3 tacos & I could only eat 2, very filling & lots of meat, slightly good spicy. The Tacos al pastor & the fish tacos were very good also. Tacos with cactus leaves also good. The horchata was good & refreshing. The pico de gallo was delicious with plenty fresh cilantro. The churro was good, but not fully fried, the inside was still not fully cooked. We will definitely return soon to try other choices. Good typical Mexican food. The only thing I have to mention is the black door, the entrance from the street to the restaurant. There is a black door & on it is written 5626 which is the address of the restaurant. It is very hard to pull & open that door! When I arrived, I tried to open it, there is no good grip on it to pull. For an instant, I thought this is not the entrance & I was going to leave. I waited till someone came out of that door so I entered. My friends had the same experience trying to open that door. I had to go myself to the door & opened it so they could enter!
To the Owner: please fix that door handle or change the handle to have a good grip to be able to pull it open to enter the restaurant.

A super authentic Mexican gem. Everyone working was warm & welcoming. The food is excellent. No matter what you get, you won't be disappointed. We had the shrimp quesadilla, the birria tacos, fish tacos, & the chicken tacos. Everything was a 10/10.

Amazing! The best Mexican restaurant in town. The food is amazing. My husband & I had the chicken enchiladas, the birria tacos, & the refried beans & they were delicious. The staff & owners are super kind & welcoming. The restaurant is clean, comfortable with a vibrant decor. We are so happy that they came back to Monkland!!!

It's good, but way too expensive for the tiny portions. A 10yr old can make mexican food

Super authentic Mexican spot, with lovely owners & amazing food. They are so hospitable & are experts at what they do. Star of the show are the birria tacos, but nothing you get will disappoint.

Went last-minute for dinner last night. Amazing! We had the birria tacos, guacamole with their homemade tortilla chips, & ceviche. All were extraordinarily good, & the prices are low. Also had their Chia lemonade. Best Mexican food I've had in Montreal, & really lovely people running the place as well. Highly recommended!

Found this place randomly walking on Monkland & it was amazing. It's a family run mexican restaurant that has really authentic foods.

We ordered the guacamole with homemade chips, esquites & tamales. Everything was super flavorful & seasoned well. The portions are generous & the dishes are cooked well. You can tell they know what they are doing for sure. The owners are also very friendly & explained the menu thoroughly.

If you like authentic mexican food & rich flavours, definitely visit them.
