By far the best Mexican food I've had in Montreal. The Tamarind Margarita was amazing & again definitely a favorite. Everything we were served was a 10/10 & special thank you to owner Roberto who was an amazing host. We loved our experience & will definitely make this a regular spot.
Absolutely loved this spot! The tacos & homemade Mexican dishes were bursting with flavor , super fresh & authentic. The drinks? Amazing. You can really tell they put care into every detail. The owner is so cool & welcoming, & the waitress Marino gave us incredible service , super kind & attentive. You can feel the good vibes as soon as you walk in. Can't wait to go back!
Great ambiance, the service is fantastic, staff is super friendly & attentive. The food is not your run of the mill fast-food Mexican...it is flavorful & delicious with a beautiful presentation.
We were feeling like some good Mexican food & I had heard about this place in Verdun. I can confirm it is a gem.
The food was delicious & hit all the right Mexican flavor notes we were craving. We ordered nachos as an appetizer, which came with a generous amount of cheese. Very tasty. The main courses were even better of course. The enchiladas were sublime. Definitely take them with the green sauce. There's fresh Mexican cheese & sour cream on top. The medley is mouth watering. The fajitas & other dishes we ordered were also delicious. Everyone enjoyed their food. The best part is that it is all fairly affordable.
Service was quick & the waiter was friendly. The atmosphere is cozy & the lighting was just right. We went on a Thursday evening before a holiday & it was also not too noisy, though the restaurant wasn't completely full.
Would definitely come back & would highly recommend!
I go out regularly with different friends from different groups to explore Montreal's restaurant scene, & this Mexican gem in Verdun was a real treat. The flavors were bold & authentic, & the overall ambiance had a relaxed, welcoming vibe.
The service was exceptional-attentive without being overbearing-& they were very accommodating to my party. While their selection of tequilas & mezcals isn't the largest I've seen, what they do have is well-chosen & definitely worth a try.
All in all, a great spot I'd be happy to return to. Kudos to the team for delivering a great night out!

Flavorful, delicious, authentic mexican restaurant!
The ingredients are fresh, & the preparation of the dishes are just perfectly authentic. The taste of the barbacoa tacos is really similar to the one in Mexico.
The drinks are really good & taste amazingly. Plus, the desserts are delicious.
Definitely recommended!
My only comment is that the waiters were rushing us out.
Amazing authentic Mexican restaurant in Verdun! Both drinks & the food were amazing. We were happily impressed by the ceviche, & their tacos (especially the lamb ones) are to die for. Of course we got margaritas & they did not disappoint!
Great authentic Mexican restaurant in Verdun. Drinks are flavourful, highly recommend trying the Paloma & the Sweet Anita Sour. Service/staff very friendly. Food was yummy, especially the Al Pastor tacos. The guacamole was very tasty as well. Will go back!
I recently had the pleasure of dining at El Sabor de México to celebrate my birthday, & I can confidently say it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment we arrived, the ambiance was warm & inviting, even having English menus, setting the tone for a fantastic evening! We started with the chef's special, which consisted of perfectly crispy mini chicken taquitos. They were a delightful introduction to the meal, offering a blend of textures & bold flavors. Next, we savored their citrus-fresh ceviche, which was light, zesty, & bursting with freshness-a true testament to the kitchen's mastery of balance. For the main course, we decided to share a variety of their entrees, & while everything was outstanding, the Tacos de Birria were hands-down my favorite! The tender meat, flavorful consommé, & perfectly spiced toppings were a match made in culinary heaven. To complement the feast, we enjoyed their mojitos, which were some of the freshest I've ever had. Overall, the food was vibrant, authentic, & full of personality. Whether it's for a special occasion or simply to indulge in incredible Mexican cuisine, El Sabor de México is a must-visit. I can't wait to return!

Very cozy & great mexican place to visit with friends or for a romantic dinner. Tastes like in Mexico. Prices are fair for the quality. Good selection of dishes. Tried Taccos de Birria, Fajitas & Quesso Ranchero. Very good. Worth it
1. You pay a lot for what you get 🙁 2. Mojitos can not be admired, savored nor enjoyed when in clay pots 3. Not enough salsa/sour cream/beans to put in the fajitas & no way to get it out of the ridiculously small SQUARE presentation 3 section dish they put it in. Try round bowls... & maybe a spoon or two? Come on guys. This is not a bad place but, a few things can definitely be improved. Everything listed above & add shrimp tacos to your repertoire & I mean soft shell tacos. I am sure El Sabor will benefit from being on "the hippest street in North America" for a good long time... but this place needs to step it up a bit to be one of the greatest Mexican restaurants in the area.
Great Mexican restaurant 🤩 loved the cactus salad, very refreshing. The porc tacos are yummy 😋 the margarita is one of the best I had. Loved the dessert tres leches, fresh & delicious 🤠 very good service 😁
