On a dîné pour notre dernier soir à Montréal au café Cantina notre fils avait ce jour là 17 ans. Je pense qu'il s'en souviendra longtemps il a adoré & nous aussi d'ailleurs. Tout était parfait. N'hésitez pas à vous y arrêter ou y faire un détour si vous séjournez à Montréal, & que vous souhaitez manger Mexicain. J'imagine que les locaux connaissent bien cette adresse sinon je leur suggère d'y aller.

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 ?

Food was delicious & fresh! Got the enchiladas mix vege & quesadillas mix vege. Ambiance was perfect, very cute spot, the music wasn't too loud as well which is hard to find. Service was fast & nice too. They are also having an event on Feb 14th dancing & live music. Lots of vegetarian options too.

Très frais & délicieux, mais un peu cher. Les prix, pour moi, étaient déjà un peu élevés avant l'inflation actuelle.

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
