Review Summary

Carnitas Michoacanas Leoncito draws praise for an authentic Mexican vibe and delicious carnitas, with fast, friendly service and solid value for hosting at home gatherings. Many reviews call the carnitas the best in Montreal, and the menu also shines with tacos de costilla and tacos al pastor along with other dishes, while micheladas are highlighted as especially tasty. The atmosphere is often described as being like being in Mexico, though some note the place could feel livelier with a bit more music. The staff are attentive and the service is quick, making the overall experience flavorful and reasonably priced.

Super service, generous with the food (chips, salsas, & we left with some more salsa!)
Will come back :) the birrias & consomé are good, I have a preference for the plain tacos

1.0

Bad experience overall. The carnitas had no flavor; they tasted like boiled meat, & all the tacos were lukewarm or cold. We ordered some maciza, & it was full of fat. The best part of the meal was the totopos. Make sure to ask for your receipt & check your bill at the end, I still have the impression that we were overcharged.
