We've eaten at the Mtl El Gordo & always appreciated the good, simple food & excellent cocktails. We were very disappointed by the St-Lambert experience. Our margaritas were not spicy at all, as ordered, & tasted like straight lime juice - no tequila, agave, or dicernable flavour at all. The avocado, tomato & feta salad was mushy & flavourless. The tacos (fish & beef) were soggy & already falling apart when served. The staff were young & it's not their fault they haven't been properly trained. He who appeared to be the Manager was at the bar, shoes off, watching videos on his phone, when his team still needs help & training to ensure consistency in product & service. We're not likely to go back & would not recommend.View more

Food here is great. First time we went was for cinqo de mayo. We were seated in the dining side. The booth was very odd to sit in but that's ok. All the food was great besides the calamari which was very underwhelming. Cocktails were also delicious. The music was mostly authentic Mexican but unfortunately switched to terrible reggaeton style as the night progressed. Churros are yummy. Unfortunately the second time I booked, we were seated on the side with the bar. The bartender shook his drinks like you wouldn't believe. I felt like a was being pranked on a show. I couldn't hear or think & neither could my mother, mother in law or grandma. Poor ladies! He kept shaking & shaking drinks so aggressively for really no reason at all. No cocktail needs to shaken that long & hard for each drink it was insane. Food again was delicious & the spicy brownie is literally very spicy! Actually not pleasant as the spice isn't tastey just uncomfortably spicy. Unfortunately the day I bring my mother's & grandma they decide to play loud bumping reggaeton all night. Between that & the shaking drinks we pretty much couldn't hear eachother talk the whole time. My baby didn't seem to mind 🤣 I'll go back but only on the dining side or outside. Never near the bar & that bartender again please! & also just play authentic Mexican music. At least until like... 830pm so people can just relax & dine not feel like they are at a club.View more
