Review Summary

These reviews present Café Cantina as a standout Mexican spot in Montreal with fresh, flavorful dishes, generous portions and affordable prices. Dishes such as burritos, quesadillas, tacos and vegetarian options are praised, alongside a tapas style menu and very good margaritas. The interior is described as nice and the terrace in summer is a plus, with friendly staff and good music contributing to a welcoming vibe. The place is often called a hidden gem where nearly every item is appreciated and many diners say a return visit is likely. Occasional cautions include slower service at busy times and a mix up with a takeout order on one occasion. Overall the impression is reliable quality, a lively yet relaxed atmosphere, and strong value making Café Cantina a frequent choice for those seeking a satisfying meal.

Hidden gem in Pointe Saint Charles with an amazing $25 tapas menu that includes a delicious margarita or beer. Highly recommend the quesadillas, burritos, tacos, & bowls. Chips & guac are also great. Plus, has a nice terrace in the summer.

I love this place! Great margaritas, nice food for very decent price, & not too busy. A nice place that I highly recommend.

They have a Tapas & Margarita menu for 25$, so worth it!

Cafe Cantina is a true gem! The ambiance is warm, the food is delicious, & the service is exceptional. I visited on Valentine's Day & enjoyed the scrumptious enchiladas, delightful margaritas, & the vibrant atmosphere with beautiful murals. It was a fantastic experience! Le Café Cantina est une vraie pépite ! L'ambiance est chaleureuse, la cuisine est délicieuse & le service est exceptionnel. Je suis allé là-bas pour la Saint-Valentin & j'ai savouré les délicieuses enchiladas, les margaritas délicieuses & l'atmosphère vibrante avec de magnifiques fresques murales. Ce fut une expérience fantastique !

Restaurant Wow ! Cool à souhait, très bon, frais & généreux. Les plats sont frais, copieux, goûteux avec une ambiance low key. La margarita est à 6$ de 5 à 7 & elle est divine... what's else ?
