Casa Azul reviews highlight an authentic Mexican experience with a vibrant Frida Kahlo inspired decor, a warm and attentive atmosphere in many visits, and dishes like moles, molcajete, chiles en nogada, ceviche, enchiladas and beef dishes that showcase traditional flavors, along with solid mezcal cocktails and hibiscus drinks. While many praise the ambiance and flavorful food, others note slow or uneven service, portions that can feel small for the price, and occasional dishes served lukewarm or missing elements. Overall, it reads as a beautiful, welcoming spot that can feel like a festive dinner out or a romantic date, with live music at times and plenty of reasons to return and try more of the menu.
I came here for brunch with my friends & we had a really great experience overall. The food was absolutely delicious-everything we tried was flavorful, fresh, & very well prepared. You can really tell they put effort into the quality & presentation.
The place is beautiful & has a nice atmosphere, although it is quite small, so it can feel a bit crowded, especially during busy brunch hours.
The buffet is on the pricier side at $35 per person (plus taxes), & drinks are not included, which adds up. That said, I do think it's worth it for the quality of the food.
One thing that could definitely be improved is the service speed. The staff are very kind & friendly, but the system is a bit slow since you can't serve yourself-someone serves you, which creates long lines & waiting times.
Overall, despite a few downsides, I would still recommend this place for a tasty & enjoyable brunch experience!
Le concept du brunch buffet du dimanche est intéressant (avec un prix sympa) & donne envie, mais plusieurs points sont à améliorer. D'abord, la cuisine manque clairement de saveur. Pour un restaurant mexicain, c'est décevant - on s'attend à des plats riches, relevés & authentiques.
Autre point frustrant : même si on est servi correctement au buffet, plusieurs plats arrivent froids une fois à table, ce qui nuit beaucoup à l'expérience globale.
Côté plats, les chilaquiles sont corrects toutefois étant un plat simple en cuisine mexicaine, ce dernier manque clairement de goût & tout gastronome ne peut pas excuser cet erreur de base. La cochinita laisse bien voir le goût de l'achiote, mais il manque des éléments de base : on ne sait pas toujours que des tortillas accompagneront le plat, & malgré être servis, il faut bien insister pour avoir des oignons marinés ou le citron. Ce sont pourtant des fondamentaux de la cuisine mexicaine. Quant au mole, difficile de juger - il semblait beaucoup trop liquide & on ne s'est pas aventuré, pourtant un plat symbolique.
Les frijoles: un désastre, car je ne connais aucune recette qui ait de la viande haché, en plus comme tout : froid & sans goût.
Le café de olla, bien vu, mais encore au bout il était trop sucré & il manquait quelque chose.
En résumé, un endroit avec du potentiel & une belle idée de brunch, mais la cuisine ne justifie pas encore pleinement l'expérience car elle manquait clairement de goût authentique mexicain. J'espère qu'ils s'amélioreront , surtout au niveau des saveurs & de l'authenticité, toutefois au vue de l'expérience l'envie de revenir n'y est pas.

Extremely disappointing experience. Reserved a large group for a birthday brunch. Arrived at noon to find a locked door, were finally let in after a few minutes of knocking. Staff seemed disinterested in providing us any information nor did they seem prepared for us or any other guests. Server was completely uninformed about the menu & drink options & appeared to be inexperienced & overwhelmed by a single table.
The only option was a buffet. After being seated at 12 the buffet was not ready until almost 1pm. Once it opened they only had a single staff member serving & the line was 15-20 people long at all times with a 20+ minute wait to finally be served. What was meant to be a fun birthday brunch turned in to a long wait, overpriced food, & god awful service.
Bills came & it was time for more confusion as they needed to be reprinted several times to account for erroneous items.
Would not return, would not recommend & would not force this place on my worst enemy.
I don't know who give them 5 stars , we just came from this place , 4 peoples for brunch . Overpriced place . Says a buffet , but was nothing to eat , everything is cold , sweet chicken , no posole , service too long , I took frites but wasn't ketchup, Beautiful restaurant decor . . However, the service was slow & a little confused, but the servers ok.
I think those people never visit buffet choice because what they propose cost not more then 12$ . Very disappointed with menu ( absolutely different from picture ) & prices .Never come again & don't conseil to my friends . Wasting money ..
As a Mexican, discovering this place made me proud. From the decor to the service, everything reflects authentic Mexican culture. I went to brunch (must try ) with my partner & we were really happy to see our culture & gastronomy represented with such care & respect. Paisanos, let's support places like this!
As a Mexican I had great expectations about this brunch especially because I've been here for dinner 3 times.
Honestly this brunch does not worth 35CAD.
They basically offer you tacos dorados (fried tacos), enchiladas, pozole & eggs…
If this place is run by a Mexican they should know that they need desperately offer: fruit, juice, unlimited coffee, bread, & more options for food. There are plenty of options that could be offered apart from their very sad eggs.
I would recommend this place for dinner & nice drinks, but their brunch is basically made of tacos dorados & eggs. All other stuff are sides!
:( so sad our experience was this bad. I hope the owner can take a look at this & make sure local people get a real Mexican experience because our breakfasts/brunchs are much more than this.
On est aller bruncher staff très sympatique. La nourriture étais un peu froide & on attendais beaucoup avant qu'il revienne avec de la nourriture. Je pense qu'il y aurais c'est petit point a rectifier. Mais on as passer un beau moment en famille.

(3) Dans mon Top 5 des restaurants mexicains à Montréal, celui-ci prend la troisième place.
Le brunch, la bouffe & l'ambiance sont excellents. Le goût est vraiment mexicain … crois-moi, je suis un vrai gourmand mexicain!
& que dire de la déco? J'adore la façon dont ils intègrent des éléments mexicains, c'est fait de la meilleure manière possible. J'adore!
A very good experience. The place is very cozy, the staff is very friendly, & the brunch is delicious. During brunch hours, there are many delicious vegetarian options, & the coffee is a must.
Je suis moitié mexicain & j'ai essayé de bons chilaquiles dans plusieurs endroits à Montréal, mais ceux de Casa Azul sont de loin les meilleurs. Ils ont un goût 100 % authentique du Mexique & les portions sont énormes. Je recommande vraiment le brunch de cet endroit, je n'ai aucun doute que c'est le meilleur & le vrai brunch mexicain.
A Delightful Brunch Experience I recently enjoyed a brunch here, & I was thoroughly impressed. The service was excellent; the staff was attentive, friendly, & made us feel welcomed throughout our visit. The atmosphere was incredibly pleasant, providing a comfortable & inviting space to enjoy our meal. As for the food-simply exquisite! Each dish was beautifully presented & packed with flavor. From the traditional Mexican options to the more creative brunch dishes, everything was prepared with care & attention to detail. This brunch spot is perfect for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience. Highly recommended!
