Overall, Casa Azul is described as a warm, beautiful and authentic Mexican dining experience with a vibrant decor that transports guests to Mexico through colorful walls, murals and plant-filled spaces, often enhanced by live music. The food receives frequent high praise, with favorites like mole, ceviche, enchiladas, and tacos, and drinks such as margaritas and mezcal cocktails that many find outstanding, along with house-made salsas and thoughtful touches. Service is repeatedly praised as friendly, attentive and sometimes personal, with staff going the extra mile and the chef sometimes engaging with guests. The atmosphere ranges from romantic and intimate to lively and festive, and portions are generally generous with good value for the quality, though some reviews mention occasional slow service, missteps, or pricing concerns. Overall, it’s considered one of the top Mexican spots in Montreal and is widely recommended for dates, celebrations and gatherings, with many guests planning to return to try more menu items.
Finally, a Mexican restaurant in Montreal that goes beyond tacos & celebrates the traditional cuisine - beautifully executed, elaborate dishes like moles, molcajete, & chiles en nogada, the kind of food that is so hard to find done right.
The drink selection is solid mezcal offering & cocktails that go well beyond basic margaritas.
Service is outstanding: attentive, quick, offered in three languages.
The ambiance is the perfect balance of authentic Mexican vibe without trying too hard. No unnecessary sophistication, just genuinely flavorful, carefully prepared food served in a warm, inviting setting.
A place you come to enjoy real Mexican cuisine, not a simplified version of it.
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.

If I could give extra credit stars I would. This restaurant deserves more than 5 stars. I am visiting a friend in Montreal from California. I never expected to experience fine Mexican cuisine. Casa Azul Montreal blew us away. The atmosphere is perfect for any occasion, but especially a date night I would say, it is incredible. Lots of space, amazing decor & indoor plants. My friend & I ordered: Tuetanos, Tamarind Margaritas, Limon Daiquiri, Passionfruit Mezcal drink, the Fried crispy tacos, & the enchiladas (mine pollo my friend's vegetarian). The staff were all friendly & attentive. The home made chili oil salsa was world class. I even got to meet the chef. He is humble & gracious & that man can cook. Words fall utterly short. You need to visit this restaurant if you want Mexican food in Montreal.
Beautiful restaurant, well decorated. However, the service was slow & a little confused, but the servers were nice.
The big problem is that they are CHEAP! We ordered a ceviche mixto for $25, which was missing a lot of fish & shrimps, but the bigger issue is that we got 2 chips for the ceviche & when we asked for more chips, we were charged $3 more! Ridiculous! We also had fajitas & only got one tortilla. Again, this is on the cheap side.
The food is not bad, not excellent, but for the price, they have to realize that if they keep being cheap, they will not last. The drink were at best okay. Again, they were cheap on the tequila for the margarita. It tasted like a good juice.
Nous étions un groupe pour un anniversaire...
Dans le sous-sol, froid & sans ambiance... salle de bain sans papier de toilette (nous étions au moins 15 femmes), pas d'eau chaude & un séchoir défectueux & sans papier à mains non plus...
Personne n'est venu nous voir à l'heure du repas pour savoir si on voulait du vin. Quand j'ai demandé un café, on m'a répondu qu'il n'y aurait pas de lait ni de sucre...
Rien de bien extraordinaire côté nourriture!! Bons drinks!
Incapacité à recevoir les commentaires des gens insatisfaits... aucun gérant sur place ou du moins quelqu'un d'expérimenté côté service...
Je n'y retournerai pas!
Je connais de meilleurs restos mexicains!!
10/10! So much fun!!! The carne molcajete was amazing, the drinks were incredible & the service was impecable. The restaurant is very beautiful as well. I would recommend this experience to anyone! I highly recommend the mezcal drinks as well as the horchata carajillo (it's the perfect dessert)
Great location & the place is well decorated. There was a singer the night we went, which, I guess made a cozy atmosphere. Although, I believe they should invest their money elsewhere. Apart from these few good aspects, their were multiple issues. The food was bland. I had the chicken enchiladas with tomatillo sauce (Suizas). The sauce was ok, but the chicken was dry & unseasoned. Clearly our plates stayed way too long under the warmer, because the were at best lukewarm, but mostly cold. The service took way too long. We only had one pitcher of water & the waiter said he would get us a a refill but never did. They took forever to take our orders, almost at the point where we considered leaving. Making basic drinks (margarita) was a never ending task.
I believe they should rethink the whole experience if they want customer's fidelity. The reviews seemed to be good overall, but as always, read the good ones, but also the bads, because this is where you get the real tea.

Les drinks étaient trop bons pis le service, super friendly. On a pris des enchiladas pis… wow, c'tait juste trop bon ! Casa Azul, vous nous revoyez certain.
First time coming while visiting family. This place is lovely, the food & drink were delicious & the staff are super friendly. I will definitely be coming back!
Went in because of the happy hour & stayed because of the hospitality, the drinks were amazing & the Chile en nogada was delicious & authentic too, really my favourite mexican restaurant from now on
Decided to stop in for tacos & we were not disappointed. The service, vibe & delicious food & drinks were wonderful! Thank you for a little piece of Mexico in the city. Highly recommend!
I had an amazing experience at Casa Azul. The space was beautifully decorated, including the menus! Our server, Pablo, was very kind & helpful & attentive to our needs. The food was delicious, drinks were phenomenal & I highly recommend the ceviche for seafood lovers, which was very fresh, tangy & well seasoned! Will definitely be back to try more things off the menu.
Amazing food, drinks, atmosphere & service! Will definitely come back & try the entire menu. So many small touches made the experience very special. The servers were the best. Gracias!
Outstanding Mexican restaurant. It differs from the rest by serving quality & authentic dishes. Most Mexican restaurants in the city try to bulk up your plate with extra rice & tortillas. Casa Azul offers well-prepared reasonable portions. *If you're a drinker be prepared to pay close to 20$ per mixed drink.
As a Mexican, I can confidently say that this restaurant is the real deal! The food tastes just like what you'd find back home. The molcajete was an absolute standout-full of flavor & perfectly seasoned. The moles were rich, complex, & took me straight back to my grandma's kitchen. & the margaritas? On point! The balance of flavors was perfect, & they really know how to mix a drink. The staff was incredibly attentive & welcoming, making the whole experience even better. The ambiance truly transported me to Mexico-beautiful décor, vibrant colors, & the music made me feel right at home. If you're craving authentic Mexican food, this place is a must. Highly recommended!
