The food is expensive & not that good. Plus, they offer free drinks & appetizers for a 5 star review, which I'm pretty sure is illegal (at the very least, it's unethical).

I always find myself coming back to la cantina. The tacos are really good & I've never tried quesadillas that tasty anywhere else 🤤 the staff is really nice & the place is cozy.

Best Mexican food in Montreal!

We had our annual staff party dinner here & everyone had a blast. The food was all super yummy & didn't take too long to prepare, even for a fairly busy Friday night. I couldn't decide between the Al Pastor Quesadilla & the Brisket Tacos Dorados so I split them with a friend & honestly just buy both, they're both so good! I still can't pick. The chicharron app was another favourite. For cocktails I liked the Mezcal Mule & the Paloma. Lastly, OMG the churros!
