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.
Service is very slow. Food is mid, I asked for my asada steak medium rare & it came to me basically like shoe rubber. Originally I wanted tacos & rice but they dont come with rice, so the waitress suggested this plate because she said I can'build my taco' but no it was basically a steak platter, no tortillas came with it. So I was a little disappointed because I really wanted tacos.
Not once did the waitress come to see if everything was okay with our food, I would have complained about my steak before hand but I couldn't. When we finished our plates, we waited a long time & we had to call her to get her to take our plates & ask for my dessert & bills. The tres leches cake was good though....
I am pleased that they didnt charge me for my plate, but Mexican food is my favorite & I was very disappointed.
Unfortunately I will not be returning to this restaurant again.
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.

Fuimos mi pareja y dos amigos , hibamos con mucha expectativa por los buenos comentarios antes visto , pero nos llevamos una gran decepción , primeramente por menú era muy basto en cuanto a las opciones y no se si es realmente un restaurant Mexicano ya que yo pedi un dis que chicharrón en salsa verde pero en realidad eran carnitas en salsa , todos los demás platillos , tacos dorados y quesadillas estaban frías no había salsas quedó mi crema , el postre era arroz de leche el cual estaba crudo e insípido. El servicio pésimo y aun así se molestan porque no les dimos propina , por ser la primera vez que fuimos fue mala experiencia y no regresaría.
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.
A cocktail place i guess? Clearly not a'food' place as the dishes were pretty mid.
The tacos dorados were basic & the Mixto Molcajete shared 70$ plate had too many fried things & not enough vegetables considering there were supposed to be some (there was guacamole & beans but that's the bare minimum). Not worth it at all considering the price.
The atmosphere is nice but that is pretty much it. The service took forever.
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.
We went there for a birthday party. The venue was nice, the staff friendly...
However, the margarita at 12$ was tasting basically like to supermarket frozen can mix.
The waiter asked us what choice we made from the group menu. Two guest asked for the'Taco Bar' option. Its only once everybody was served that these 2 guests were told that the'Taco Bar' option is only possible if EVERYONE takes it.
The food was below average for a restaurant like this. The Enchiladas where so vinegary. Portion was small.
A comment that was heard around the room, & it pains me to repeat it,'Tres Amigos has better food, for better price'. Yikes.
Calamaris where good.
No one came to ask us if we wanted wine, the water was never filled up, plates where removed rapidly.
dessert was ok (whipped cream was a sort of a knock off cool whip).
We where downstairs so the cold temperature is understandable, but only 1 roll of toilet paper in the bathroom & no hand towels for 22 persons is questionable.
Bills took 45+ minutes to be brought to us only to found out that the delay was du to the 15% tip that was hand-calculated & added to every bill (even if on the menu it was CLEARLY printed out'Tax & Tip NOT INCLUDED')
One guest asked tge manager to remove the 15% tip he was forced to pay to no avail.

Our team organized a taco evening at Casa Azul (20 people). We enjoyed every moment. The food was excellent & generous. The service was outstanding. They arranged the reception hall downstairs for us, & the decor was fantastic. They also provided us with a sound system & a microphone. This place is highly recommended for events.
We visited Casa Azul yesterday for my birthday & were truly impressed. It's a Mexican restaurant with a unique & refined twist, & I must say - the food was absolutely delicious!
The beef tacos were exquisite - packed with flavor & cooked to perfection. But what truly stole the show were the spicy margaritas - seriously, to die for!
What made the experience even more special was the outstanding customer service. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Our waitress, who had short hair, was incredibly friendly, professional, & made us feel so welcome - it was honestly refreshing. The entire staff was helpful, attentive, & patient.
Bravo to the whole team!
I can't wait to go back - especially if there's live music or shows in the future.
Nous étions à la recherche d'un souper mexicain & nous sommes tombées sur ce merveilleux restaurant.
Le service a été très convivial & rapide. Ils nous ont accueilli avec de l'eau au citron & au concombre, ainsi qu'un thé (vraiment bon), ce qui est attentionné de leur part.
Nous avons pris le nachos (à deux), 3 tacos chacun & des cocktails. Le seul bémol était le prix de nos 3 tacos (15$ avant taxes), considérant qu'ils étaient assez petits. Cependant, ils étaient succulents & valaient le prix! L'entrée de nachos & la portion des tacos suffisent à nous rassasier.
Bref, très belle première expérience & nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir!

La comida es deliciosa! Los ingredientes frescos y sabrosos. Te sentís como si estuvieras en México. Probamos los tacos y ceviche.
El ambiente es muy lindo, adornado al estilo mexicano y tienen música en vivo también.
Los tragos de tequila y mezcal son ree deliciosos.
100% volveremos!
Eating at Casa Azul is like being transported directly to Mexico without having to pay for the flight to get there.
From the beautiful murals on the walls, to the hand made alebrijes scattered throughout the space, & the tall archways windows lined with plants - the space felt so filled to the brim with warmth & endless pockets of joy.
It's incredibly rare to discover a restaurant that's so good it makes you want to write a review about it, but it just so happens that the food at Casa Azul is review worthy.
From the very first sip of the Hibiscus fruit infused tea to the very last bite of the al pastor tacos I ordered, I found myself saying'this is sooo good!' Over & over again.
Our server Pablo made us feel so welcomed & cared for - I would almost go as far as to say that it felt like being with family.
I'm so grateful to have discovered Casa Azul & I can't wait to go back again soon to discover even more of their incredibly delicious food.
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!
Vraiment cool, l'ambiance est superbe, le service impéccable. La bouffe est authentique, donc les tacos sont une seule bouché donc a ne pas prendre si vous avez très faim, mais les saveurs & la qualité est bien présente.
Dans une grande salle aux hauts plafonds, avec à l'occasion des bandas sur scènes, Casa Azul sert une rare sélection de plats authentiquement mexicains, notamment des moles bien relevés & de délicieux tacos. On peut passer le queso fondito qui manque de répondant. Les cocktails sont en revanche sympas, mezcal en force. Le service l'est tout autant, même si l'on aimerait qu'il soit un peu plus véloce. Une belle adresse en somme pour explorer la riche diversité culinaire du Mexique.
El sábado pasado mi familia y yo disfrutamos de una buenísima cena en este restaurante tan acogedor. Margaritas ricas y tacos deliciosos! Muchísimas gracias a todos que nos sirvieron!
Our server was lovely & even brought us special tea on the house! The food was delicious, especially the mole enchiladas & the veggie & chicken tacos. Would visit again!
