I had the steak tacos, they were not bad, but they were OK. I've had better steak tacos at other places in Montreal, with handmade tortillas, more meat & better price.
However, I had the cantarito & it was great, my friends also loved their cocktails. I would go back for drinks & small bite but not necessarily for dinneView more

Belle expérience souper
Très belle ambiance & décoration
La cuisine est bonne mais les portions tapas sont petites pour le prix. Cependant les tacos sont savoureux & on sent la qualité
À apprécier partagé pour une meilleure expérience encoreView more

Décevant! Si ont ne prend pas le menu 5 services.. il y a quelques entrées mais pas toute disponible & seulement des tacos à manger..c'est pas le typique mexicain c'est pour cette raison que j'avais très envie de l'essayer mais le menu est trop petit..a part ça parmi les cocktails qui était disponible celui que j'ai pris était bon.. les desserts bof. Il y à plein d'autres resto mexicain bien meilleur.View more

We went to Caifan in Montreal for a bachelorette & did the tasting menu with drink pairings-it was absolutely worth it. Every dish was fresh, flavourful, & balanced. We left full & completely satisfied. The staff made the evening feel special & took amazing care of us from start to finish. Perfect spot for a celebration or a night out-highly recommend!View more

Très belle découverte avec un excellent service. Les tacos sont petits mais à un prix raisonnable. C'est facile d'essayer plusieurs choses sur le menu. Les cocktails sont beaux & bons. Je reviendrais!View more

Un excellent moment grâce à Arturo notre serveur. Le menu experience avec 5 dégustations était incroyable. Cela faisait longtemps que nous n'avions pas manger dans un restaurant mexicain aussi bon.
Je recommande ++++View more

Update : le menu a changé :( plus de fruits de mer ni de poisson. Beaucoup moins de choix d'entrées.
Ce soir était notre quatrième visite, pour mon anniversaire cette fois. Nous revenons pour nos plats préférés: la pieuvre & les crevettes, & les mescalitas au top. Même les desserts sont à ne pas manquer (la crème aux oeufs & le gâteau au chocolat blanc!) Le service est toujours bon & la musique aussi!View more

Went to celebrate a birthday! Eventhough, I booked a table online ... I sat at the bar waiting for my table to clear up.. took about 15-20 mins. The server was super nice & warm. The food was excellent.. we were pretty hungry so the lack of our table being ready was made up by the food.View more

My new fav Mexican spot in MTL.
The food is crazy good. Well balanced & full of flavour.
The menu is perfectly curated. Every dish is well thought of & you don't have random items in the menu that don't make sense. It all goes so well together.
The drinks are amazing. Their signature cocktails offer flavours I haven't seen anywhere else. & even their classic margarita has zest in it?! Never occurred to me but definitely the best idea ever.
I'll for sure come back & tell everyone about it 💖
Oh & they have a pastor trompo ppl! A MUST!!!View more

Overpriced, & not worth it. Hipster & tourist trapView more

J'ai été au Caifan pour ma fête avec un groupe de 16 personnes. C'était ma deuxième fois dans ce restaurant, & mes convives & moi avons été bluffés!
En somme, un excellent rapport qualité-prix avec le menu dégustation (obligatoire pour les groupes) à 65$/pers. pour un repas 5 services aux saveurs explosives, créatives & un beau voyage culinaire. Le service était un sans faute, entre notre serveuse attitrée, Ève, & Arturo, le manager.
Les restrictions/allergies alimentaires ont été communiquées en avance & respectées, le menu change de manière hebdomadaire & a été partagé par Arturo quelques jours avant la réservation, on a pu amener & souffler un gâteau de fête, & tout le personnel a été très patient & à l'écoute.
Je recommande l'accord mets-vins à 40$ car il inclut non seulement des vins mais aussi des cocktails ;)View more

Positive point
-food were fresh & good enough
-waiters were really nice & try to do their best
-the decorations is really nice & warm
Negative
-first off we booked a table & when we got there there was no table available so we had to sit at the bar 🙁
-service is disorganized, definitely not short staff & yet not a smooth flow.
- food was correct , it was warm & fresh but i expected more flavor in my food especially with such a small menu.
-food was so not impressive i did not try their dessert but after appetizers & tacos i wasn't expecting much from the dessert section
- mocktail was good, well balance but 75% of it was ice 🧊
Overall not a bad experience, if you like more fancy vibe & cocktail it's not a bad choice.
However if you rather find a good & simple mexican restaurant there is better place within montreal.View more

A must visit. We go to Mexico annually & to different locations. The Pastor here is one of the best we have had. The cocktails menu is also top notch with a large variety to choose from. Service from all staff was amazing.View more
