La Cantina est largement reconnue comme une destination dynamique au centre-ville pour la cuisine mexicaine, souvent saluée pour ses délicieux tacos, son ceviche et sa variété impressionnante de cocktails. Bien que de nombreux convives soulignent le personnel accueillant, le service rapide et l'ambiance authentique comme raisons de leurs visites répétées, certaines expériences sont nuancées par des rapports sur un service irrégulier, une confusion concernant les prix ou les promotions, ainsi que des plats parfois jugés fades ou manquant de fraîcheur. Malgré des avis partagés sur la taille des portions et des lacunes occasionnelles dans la qualité du service, l'établissement demeure un choix prisé tant pour les déjeuners décontractés que pour les sorties de groupe, de nombreux clients appréciant particulièrement les churros et l'environnement animé et décoré avec soin.
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!
Had a fantastic time, food was incredible, service was very good! Had the brisket, shrimp & fish tacos, as well as the Al Pastor quesadillas. The shrimp tacos stole the show, absolutely divine would definitely get these & the brisket tacos again.

Been here twice now & this place never misses. The food is incredible-easily one of the best Mexican spots in Montreal. The drinks are authentic & delicious, & the service is fantastic & super fast. I'll definitely be back. The deep-fried brisket tacos & the ceviche are a must-try!
To be honest after reminiscing on this recent experience i felt compelled to write this review as it left just as bad an impression as taste in my mouth. I went to this restaurant a while ago & left a decent impression with a small group of friends. Upon returning with another to this restaurant I was left very disappointed in the way this restaurant went downhill in my opinion. First of all I found the server to be disengaged with the attentive service given to my table where the water was not given until the meal was almost finished & the limes i asked for when the meal arrived showed up shortly after the tacos were finished. I also found the avocado dip was bland & nachos were whatever & quite expensive for what it was at $19.00 additionally there were no complementary nacos & salsa given which from what I remembered were given the first time i went here. Then lastly the brisket tacos were soggy & tasted & smelled slightly off but didn't think too much about it. Until I woke with slight stomach pains in the middle of the night. Thankfully it passed, however I now link the oddly tasting tacos to the stomach pains & burps of that slightly odd tasting taco & meat. I found that for what this place is save your money & the risk of feeling or getting ill, it's overly priced & there are better quality taco spots around than this in Montréal.
Went for dinner, we had a nice time, the atmosphere was good, the sound levels were good so talking was easy, but the service was slow & underwhelming. I had to ask for plates, no extra napkins were given with messy food, when our drinks were empty there was no ask if we wanted more or something else, I had to catch her attention, the fish tacos & brisket were both okay but lacking depth.. that being said the margaritas, beef taco, ceviche, Huitlacoche quesadilla & Aztek soup were delicious & can't go wrong with churros, overall delicious food & nice atmosphere but service was lacking.
This is a truly Mexican Restaurant. We were a party of 7 & shared entrees of chips & guacamole, chips & Salsa & chips & bean cheese all three were excellent. I had the deep fried Brisket Tacos(4) covered with Cheese & slaw. I am sorry I did not take a photo of all the food as they all looked delicious & there was no complaints from anyone😀
Super nice/quick staff. Solid atmosphere. Thumbs down on the food. Had the fried brisket burrito & it was over fried, flavours did not come together with ingredients like feta. Bean dip tasted like canned Tex mex style beans & again did not come together with the full slices of bacon on the top. Would not be in a rush to return.
