Review Summary

Carnitas Michoacanas Leoncito earns high praise for its carnitas, described as the best in Montreal with an authentic Mexican flavor and a strong value for money. The service is repeatedly praised as fast and friendly, with many noting quick order to payment and attentive staff, while the atmosphere sometimes lacks energy though occasional live entertainment helps. Dishes beyond the carnitas, including micheladas and menudo, are mentioned as standouts and the overall vibe is described as homey and genuinely Mexican. Taken together, the reviews position the restaurant as one of the top spots for carnitas in Montreal, consistently delivering flavorful, real vibes and dependable, welcoming service.

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.

Tienen un servicio muy lento y poco cortes. La comida esta fria y algunos empleados estaban hablando groserias desagradables. La duena deberia poner un poco mas de atencion en eso.
