The atmosphere of this place is really the only redeeming factor that keeps this place afloat as the meal does not seem to remotely compare to what the reviews seem to suggest back in the day.
Saturday evening, this place was empty & I can understand why... I ordered the tortilla soup & this was the most absurd dish. The presentation was anything but lackluster; I wish I took a picture of it to show everyone.
A bowl of barely seasoned water with a scoop of guacamole, filaments of cheese & some tortilla pieces for 16$. I have never had such a horrible mexican dish in Montreal.
I have heard about this place from friends & my expectations were quite high, but I left with the uttermost dissapointment. I took a look at their grocery section & a medium tub of guacamole was... 22$?! Speechless.
A meal for 4 people, no appetizers & 1 churros came to almost 105$. Only empty stomaches & dissapointment. Avoid this place as there are many other places in the area as it seems like management has changed & you can find much much better. Tourist trap? For sure
I was aware of the great reputation of this Mexican restaurant & finally tried it for brunch on a Sunday morning. The vibe was very inviting & the food was just awesome. Everything is home made, right down to the taco chips & tortillas. I tried the veal omelette with refried black beans, rice & guacamole. Everything was so tasty & fresh. The sweet & spiced coffee was also a nice surprise. I will definitely go back to try their tacos.
Overprice mexican food, was good & good price years ago but now we have so many better options around the area, don't waste your money here
A Mexican restaurant along with Mexican store.
We were at the Jean-Talon market & we dropped in this place for lunch looking at the choices the restaurant offered for vegetarians.
The food & the service were good.
It was nice! They treated us with salsa & chips, the service was friendly.
There was a list of vegetarian options on the menu.
It's a restaurant + a small store with Mexican snacks, baked goods & in store made options (like guacamole).
Honestly some of the best Mexican food I've had outside of Mexico. Definitely some of the best chilaquiles I've ever had. Great little spot next to Jean talon market.
Great place to eat Mexican food with a true Mexican flavor. Excellent place, always attentive to what is needed at the table, their food is as similar as possible to a Mexican dish.
I've been coming here for a very long time, & it never disappoints. Hands down, the best Mexican restaurant in Montreal! The flavors are authentic, the food is always fresh, & the atmosphere is vibrant. A must-visit for anyone who loves great Mexican cuisine.
Not real mexican flavors, the rice taste like masala. It is not hard using tomatoes, onion, garlic, salt & water. Why masala?
I am not asking for 100% mexican flavors, i am just asking not to taste indian food.
Just cant go wrong with this place, my favorite mexican restaurant in montreal !
Ordered on UberEats from El Ray Del Taco on May 5th for Cinco de Mayo. The food was mediocre, nothing spectacular. It is definitely authentic Mexican but wasn't outstanding by any means. One of the complaints is on the Chicken Quesadlilla & the Cheese Quesadilla. We realized that between orders, they aren't cleaning the grill they use to crisp & cook the quesadilla. They were both ordered rather plain, chicken, cheese & corn (missing the corn), on one & just cheese on the second one. Both of them had pieces of fried onion stuck to them from a previous order cooked on the same grill .. the kids don't like onions at all & one has an allergy. That was stated in the allergy section of the order. My fiancee had the Enchiladas, which she enjoyed but said the same thing... it was good. Nothing spectacular or outstanding. We realize it was Cinco de Mayo, & they were highly likely very busy, but taking 10 seconds to scrape the grill between orders ensures issues like this won't happen. We may try them again on another day, which is not a Mexican Celebration Day, & hope for a better result.
Based on this order yesterday, it's not a recommendation from us. If we order a second time & it's better, or worse, we will let you know. ⭐?⭐?⭐?
Delicious authentic mexican food! Tacos were very good, the vibe was fun & inviting.
Very delicious mexican food. Watch out, some tables are quite small & narrow.
This Mexican restaurant is a great spot, especially after spending time at Marché Jean-Talon! I've been here multiple times, & it's always a reliable option for a satisfying meal. I usually order the *Burrito Tradicional* with steak, & it's packed with flavor & generous portions. The steak is well-cooked & tasty, though I do find it a bit too salty for my preference on my each visit. That said, the overall quality & experience keep me coming back.
The location is super convenient, right across from Marché Jean-Talon, making it a perfect place to refuel after exploring the market. The atmosphere is lively, & the service is friendly. If you're in the area & craving Mexican food, this is definitely a solid choice!

We were really excited to try this Mexican restaurant, but unfortunately, our experience with Uber Eats was disappointing. The food arrived smooshed, & nothing was warm. While we understand delivery isn't always perfect, this was below what we expected. The flavors were decent, but it was hard to fully enjoy when the presentation & temperature weren't right. We hope the restaurant can work on improving packaging to keep everything intact & warm for delivery orders
The most amazing & authentic Mexican food I've ever had outside of Mexico. The service is friendly & professional. The staff is always eager to answer any questions. You never have to feel intimidated about asking any questions. Great casual atmosphere; Great friendly staff; Great food; Great prices; & Great portions. Overall a GREAT Mexican Restaurant for a great Mexican experience. I rate this place six out of five mustaches.
