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.

Best of all Mexican places I've been to in my 9 months in Montreal. We'll return soon for more.

I always enjoy Mexican food. Of course each place varies in quality but otherwise never disappoints. This cafe Cantina was awesome! The wait might be a little long depending on staff & if it's very busy but it's worth the wait for sure! My burrito was quite hefty & very good! I hope to return again soon. Friendly owner too. Works hard. 😎👍

After reading the reviews thought this restaurant would be authentic. Had the chicken quesadilla to go, worse mistake ever, the chiken was almost non-existant in the quesadilla. The rice tasted terrible it was dry & clumpy, the beans were dry & tasteless. I would love to tell you about the salad but there wasn't any despite it being advertised that it comes with the meal. Over all worse mexican experience ever & will not return.
