I was looking for a good spot to have some drinks before going to dinner.. extremely happy we stopped here! The bartender Cali (spelling) & owner were absolutely amazing! The drinks, the vibe, the hospitality, & atmosphere were above my expectations. If you're looking for some drinks, food, or just some social time this is a perfect spot! We'll definitely make another stop here, even if it's a slight detour, on our next trip through Montréal..

Best of Montreal! Best tequilas, best location, best vibe! Amazing fresh maracuya raspado, birria quesadillas, hot totopos & salsa - thank you Daphnee & team for your welcoming smile & spirit. Gorgeous bada33 runs the place with such good energy you will feel like you came home to a happy friend serving you homemade love. Forever fav CANTINA CONCHA
Amazing!! We had the Tinga quesadillas & they were outstandingly delicious!! 😍
The vibe & ambience is also amazing, full Cumbia music & most from Mexico, fun & chill vibe! Also the waiter was very kind & very hospitable!
One advised thing for them maybe, is something my Mexican girlfriend said when she got her Margarita (which was also very good):'They should add chili or salt on the rim of the glass'. But overal definitely 5/5 stars no doubt!! (& prices are reasonable, definitely not overpriced of something)
If I could give 100 stars / 10 I would. This place is amazing. The owner Daphne is a superstar. Very attentive very educated in her craft & will tailor your drinks to your liken! Tell her what you like - she'll surprise you with her creations. She explained to us the effort & care that goes into all of her ingredients from citrus to chilli's & she takes great pride & passion in what she does. Beautiful vibe inside, real feel of Mexico. Cannot recommend this place enough! Irish living in Toronto - visiting Montreal for the weekend & will be back!
Fan-tas-tic spot in Old Montreal! The vibes are vibing, the cocktails are cocktailing & the staff got great joking skills! A great spot to not fall into the touristy-traps of our lovely city. 10/10 100% recommend. Hold my beer, call your mom, & head onto Cantina Concha! Kk bye!!
