Amaranto Monkland: Entrées: les quantités sont ridiculement petites surtout pour le prix. Guacamole: format mini c'est une cuillère a thé & pour le format petit c'est l'équivalent d'une cuillère à soupe, pour le prix ils nous prennent vraiment pour des cons. Tacos: ils sont sec. Le une étoile va à la margarita glacée qui était très bonne. Aucune climatisation, ni ventilateur à l'intérieur on mourrait de chaud! & quand on arrive pour payer: on nous informe que le seul moyen de paiement accepté c'est le virement interac!!!

They don't have a card as a payment method & they don't warn that they don't have it! I'm a foreigner so I don't have a Canadian bank, & they only warned me after having consumed on site, if I knew I would never have eaten there

My amigos, I hope you take time of your day to try this because it's the best birria tacos I've ever tried in my entire life. The consommé feels like it's hugging your soul, caressing & healing all of your inner wounds. The conbination of flavors makes you realize the 8th wonders of this world can also be in a bite, closer than you think !

A bit annoyed

Server was rushing us since we took more than 40 sec to order for 4 people. Kept trying to close the order fast, answering 0 questions . Just take that it's good.

Came 0 times while we were eating to ask us if we needed service . Just at the end to make us pay ,cash or E transfer only

Food was ok , Birria was good, the rest was just ok

The serviced killed it for us
Seems there was 0 managers. Just employees that wanted to close up fast .

0 reason to go back

Really wonderful place on Monkland. We've been going since the old location & they have a very cute terrace now in their new one. The tacos are consistently good & very authentic, their margaritas & agua de Jamaica are perfect, & the service is always friendly. We're very lucky to have a nice local restaurant like this one close by.

Nous n avons pas été avertie du manque & des changements apportés à l'assiettr.Au lieu de 4 tacos, on a reçu 2. AUCUN goût mexicain. 0 épice.Même les sois disant sauces piquantes ne l'étaient pas. Arrive le temps de payer. On ne nous avait pas dit que seulement cash ou transfert étaient acceptés. On ne nous y prendra plus & le message sera bien circulé parmi tous nos amis de Monkland!

Petit restaurant mexicain familial.
La carte est restreinte & de qualité.
Le service était impeccable & de bonne recommandation.
Nous reviendrons pour sur.
Attention les paiements ne sont qu'en cash ou Interac mais le restaurant vaut grandement la peine de faire l'effort

Superbe restaurant de ndg, terasse improvisé vendredi midi.

Spécial du midi est très intéressant, 3 tacos, une entré & un dessert pour attachez vous bien 20$$$$

Le tacos avec bouillant a côté était très bon, le service a l'écoute. Nous étions dehord & quelqu'un du commerce a vue que nous avions chaud & nous avions même pas a demandé ils avaient allongé le parasols.

Donc pour deux avec un drink chaque & pourboire 100$ , mais facilement moins cher avec un autre bruvage.
