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.

Nice! Got their own take on things but in general in a good way (pretty spicy carnitas for example). The chicken taco was something of a watery, tasteless, disappointment but all other things was nice

If you eat there, the wait can be a little long, during lunch time.
I've ordered take out for 2 during supper time & was out in 8 minutes.

I've only had the veggie burrito everytime I went, & I really enjoy it. My husband takes the chicken or beef one & likes it as well. We go every 3 months or so.

I'd say, it's a hit or miss on the nachos really, depending if you get the bottom of the baril, or a fresh new batch.

Some can say the rice is a little dry, well it kind of is a bit, but it tastes good in my burrito. Expect to pay about $14 per person tops for your meal if you are not taking any entree or drink.

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.
