Le menu en ligne du midi ne correspond pas à la carte. Aussi si vous y allez pour quelque chose de spécifique, vous pouvez être déçus! (Tacos birria non disponible à cette succursale le midi même s'il est sur le menu midi en ligne, & non c'est pas possible de les faire….)
Great tacos & margaritas, & excellent service! Will come back to explore the rest of the menu, but from what we had & saw this is a perfect blend of Mexican & a twist of Oriental fusion....

Had a great experience seated at bar during lunch hour. Yona provided excellent service & was friendly amd generous with his margaritas & Mezcal. Tacos were superb. Highly recommend!
très bel endroit en plein centre-ville, & bien situé car la rue est moins achalandée. Endroit bien décoré avec un service professionnel & sympathique. merci pour les tacos & la salade de mangue!
Honestly this is the best tacos we have had, it's become a tradition for us to come & have the tacos, because that's just how good everything is, & the service is amazing.
My family had such a wonderful dinner experience here. We tried a mix of four different tacos, & every one of them was absolutely delicious. We also enjoyed the mango salad, along with the chips & guacamole, which were all fresh & flavourful. To finish off the meal, we had the churros with Nutella - such a perfect dessert! Our server, Yona, was incredibly friendly, attentive, & on top of everything throughout the evening. We'll definitely be back & would highly recommend this restaurant to others.
Nowhere else I'd rather go for tacos & margartias while in Montreal. My office is just up the street, so whether it's popping in for a quick lunch bite with a cheeky margarita or coming here with a big group of friends, the food, culture, vibes & staff are so lovely!! Yona, the bartender, even gave me a complimentary tequila shot because i had to go back to work! Highly recommend.
Amazing tacos & definitely one of my favorite taco spots in Montreal!
This was my second visit & both times were absolutely delicious & amazing. I tried the shrimp tacos, two beef options, & two chicken tacos everything was fresh, flavorful, & not heavy at all.
Special THANKS to Earli for being so kind, cheerful, & professional.
& THANKS to Eric as well, he was very welcoming & friendly, & even helped us with his recommendations. They both made the experience even better, even though the restaurant was really busy both times 💘
Amazing! Went for dinner on a whim & I am so glad to have stopped by. Jonah was very kind & helpful & the food was absolutely delicious! The wings were so flavorful & loved the shrimp tacos! 10/10 would return again!
The restaurant has great fusion Mexican vibes to it. The food tastes good but it could've been better, it's American Mexican, not traditional. The portions are really small, you really have to go with App, Salad, Tacos & Dessert to fill yourself.
A packed spot often means 👌for one reason or another.
This place is all the reasons: atmosphere is awesome, decor is amazing, the vibe is pure enjoyment.
The service is quick, friendly & non-intrusive & that is a fine line to balance.
The food is why you'll come back, over & over again. FYI: the pollos hermanos tacos & the El Chapiflor are 🫠
Yona & Charlie are the best servers & they were very friendly!!! Staff very aware of our needs & also i arrived way after my peers & they still served me food with great seevice!!! 10/10 fish tacos are increible also the churros is probably the best!!!
We had a great experience at Escandite Union. Tried a mix of tacos including the al pastor, chicken, shrimp, plus the Baja 2.0 & a mushroom taco…everything was on point. Flavors were fresh, well-balanced, & clearly made with care.
We also had guacamole with chips, cornbread, & a couple of margaritas…no complaints across the board. Everything came out quickly & tasted great.
What stood out just as much as the food was the service. Friendly, attentive staff who made the whole experience easy & enjoyable.
Good eats, great service…definitely worth a stop if you're in Montreal.
Je suis passé prendre des tacos à emporter car j'étais en jetlag & ne voulais pas rester longtemps au restaurant.
Les serveurs ont été très sympas, m'ont servi un verre d'eau pendant l'attente & m'ont conseillé sur la commande.
Les tacos étaient excellents, pas très gros mais j'étais prévenu.
Had cheese & shrimps tacos, shared tortillas with guac & some churros. Really not impressed by the food. There was no cheese on the tacos, the guacamole lacked flavor & churros were a bit raw in the middle.
Service is good & the ambience is fantastic
