I was excited to try their brunch buffet after seeing some Instagram videos. I was sad to be so disappointed… Their café de olla was served cold & was way too sweet. They do not offer regular coffee instead (only for an extra cost).
The food is extremely underwhelming. I tried the chilaquiles verdes (sauce was meh, & they do not put enough meat), the huevos rancheros & beans (probably the best of everything else), the quesadilla (the tortilla & cheese had no flavour) & the potato flautas (the mashed potatoes inside tested like nothing. I am not sure they even seasoned it). I also ordered the churros. They were good, made on the spot so they tasted fresh. But the dough tastes like the one you buy at the grocery store to make churros at home. So again, for the price, I feel there was no special flavour to them.
I can make way tastier chilaquiles at home… nothing special.
For $35 plus tax I would expect a bit more variety. & if the menu will be simple, at least make good salsas & serve the plates a bit better.
I did like the seating space & decor. Service was good.
First & foremost, the food wasn't even hot. For context, we had the all?you?can?eat brunch option. The food took a minimum of 20 minutes to arrive, & the drinks came about 15 minutes after the food. The waitress never stated her name, & her attitude was unpleasant throughout our visit. She kept serving other tables, including empty ones, while ignoring ours.
Second, the water had a yellow tint & tasted like soap. We never saw them replace the water jar on any table during our entire stay.
Third, the tres leches didn't taste right.
Fourth, when my friend complained about her drink & asked for a new one, the waitress went to speak with the bartender. I genuinely believe she told him not to serve the replacement drink.
Before I forget, there were food items we requested twice, but we never received them.
Lastly, the waitress who took our order at the beginning didn't want to give us the bill. I gave her several glances & hand signals to let her know we were ready to leave, but she never came. In the end, the bartender was the one who brought us our bill.
The only redeeming aspects of the restaurant were the decoration & the bathroom. We actually had a pleasant time doing a little photoshoot because the place is visually appealing.
So, do I recommend eating at Casa Azul? The honest answer is no. Sure, we didn't know much about Mexican food, but that doesn't justify the horrible attitude we experienced during our visit.
Starting with the positive aspects, this place has a very nice decor. The cocktails & agua frescas were tasty. Unfortunately, the food was terribly underwhelming. The'fried seafood' appetizer seemed straight out of a frozen box & a third of it was just fried onion rings. The dishes did not taste flavourful or authentic. I had the shrimp fajitas as a main & it came with whole unseasoned beans that looked straight from a can. (Was expecting frijoles) It was served with only one giant flour tortilla instead of smaller tortillas, which seemed odd for this type of dish.
The service was extremely slow even though the restaurant was mostly empty. All of the drinks took an unusually long time to come. (We received the first one after probably 30 minutes & the rest of the order at later intervals) We sympathized because most of the waitresses were on their 1st/2nd day. The restaurant did not even have 5$/10$ bills to provide change on our friend's cash payment. Overall, it was a disorganized & disappointing experience that came to a steep price. Not worth it at all.

Magnifique endroit mais la nourriture était plus que décevante. Le gravlax de saumon était immangeable, le ramen birria ne contenait pas de birria. Nous avons commandé à 18h30 & avons été servis à 20h malgré avoir fait de nombreux suivis avec les serveurs (que nous devions constamment chercher car ils étaient rarement présents sur le plancher) alors que le restaurant était vide. Outre la décoration, un autre point positif est le concombre dans l'eau.
I was very excited to try this restaurant because the decor was beautiful & I'm a huge fan of authentic Mexican food, which is what I thought I was going to get. Instead, I got an extremely plain & simple'dish' with every part lacking seasoning. I ordered the Pescadilla which was advertised as a fried taco dish, I was expecting a nice saucy quesadilla with some cheese & vegetable toppings. But the dish itself was plain white fish inside plain corn tortillas. With plain lettuce thrown on top & a bit of white cheese. Even the sauce on the side was a plain tomato type sauce that didnt even have spice. I was very confused as I see no universe in which this can be called'authentic' mexican food.
My partner also ordered the Fajita which only came with 2 tortillas along with a skillet of fajita filling & some sides, the beans & rice sides literally had no salt on them, just plain black beans.
This was a very disappointing & confusing experience & although I expect the cocktails must be good/a selling point, I won't be coming back to try them.
EDIT: The dish I ordered- Pescadilla- is supposed to be fried tortillas & not saucy & cheesy like a quesadilla, which I fully understand as Im researching what the dish is'supposed' to look like so I realize I had different expectations.
However, what I recieved at this restaurant was still the most bland & plain version of this dish. From what Im seeing in pictures from elsewhere there is supposed to be some sort of vegetable slaw or SOMETHING inside other than just plain fish.
Trying to justify that what you served is exactly what this dish is meant to be just isn't right. I agree, mexican food isn't meant to be unnecessarily salty, BUT there must be some flavour, & what I ate at this restaurant was very bland.
Pros: Beautiful ambience & decor, good service, great selection of Mexican dishes some of which would be hard to find anywhere else.
Cons: It is of course the food why we came to this place. We really wanted to try Chile en nugada especially after reading the novel'Like Water for Chocolate'. & what a disappointment when it was served lukewarm. Asked the server & he said it was normal as they did not want us to burn ourselves. Yet the molcajete came extremely hot as expected! Also Chile en nugada came without pomegranate seeds which is a must in this recipe. Budget cuts?
& the molcajete mixte which costs $75 also speaks of budget cuts. It was missing the promised grilled cheese & nopales & had only a small quantity of beef, only 3 small tiger shrimps. It did have some cheap filler that looked like potato flautas.
Overall impression: mixed feelings, probably would not come back.
I don't know who give them 5 stars , we just came from this place , 4 peoples for brunch . Overpriced place . Says a buffet , but was nothing to eat , everything is cold , sweet chicken , no posole , service too long , I took frites but wasn't ketchup, Beautiful restaurant decor . . However, the service was slow & a little confused, but the servers ok.
I think those people never visit buffet choice because what they propose cost not more then 12$ . 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!
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.
