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.
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.
Chicken bones in the cold enchilada. Tiny portions. (A palm-sized dish of rice with the fajita.) No discernible tequila in the margaritas. Took 1.5 hrs for food to arrive. Didn't bring the appetizer, then tried to charge for it. The only time in my 50 years of living I have not left a tip. Overpriced to boot. Don't do it.

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!!
Food was Ok but too expensive, the service was slow & downstairs we were freezing all night. This was one of the worse experience I had in a long time. I do not recommend going to this place during the cold season.

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.
Super bonne cuisine mexicaine, ambiance sympathique. Je recommande !!
Nous avons pris le plat de viande à partager & il était très copieux. Une bonne découverte 😊
