Delicious authentic Mexican food. Margaritas were great. We ordered the enchiladas with mole sauce & it was incredible. Food tasted very fresh & you definitely get more than enough with one portion

This place is an experience. Best to make reservations & plan to stay a couple hours. The food highlights for me were the guacamole, margaritas, mango juice, churros, & the selection of Mexican candies & other things for sale. My sister loves the mole sauce & has been back for it a few times, & I do believe it is good, it's just that I'm not a huge fan of the sauce in general. The staff were great & the decor was well done - I felt transported to a festive warm happy place while it was February in Montreal.
Soupe Azreca & enchiladas mole très bon ! Cuisine typique .Marguarita très bon . Service lent mais sympathique. Manque peut être un peu de musique pour l'ambiance . J'ai bien aimé . J'y retournerai .
It's a beautiful & authentic family owned restaurant. They will make your food fresh from scratch, so be mindful that it will take time & the food won't be ready in 15min. Our whole supper was about 1h30. But it was totally worth it! Just get a drink & enjoy the ambiance. The food was delicious. The mole sauce was on point. & be warned that the portions are big! I was full after the appetizer. The servers & owners were very kind. & they have so many beautiful plants! Edit: their churros are extremely delicious!

We ordered from this restaurant during COVID & enjoyed their Mole sauce dishes. You can't get Mole easily, so that's a real plus. More recently, we went in person. Food & service are good, & the decor & ambience excellent. You feel you're in Mexico; that's a great feeling, particularly in the middle of winter!
Delicieux! Le service est un peu long & les chaliquiles étaient trop mous mais super ambiance & la sauce mole était très bonne. Parfait endroit pour manger avant d'aller au Théâtre si on y va à l'avance.
Les saveurs sont parfaites ! La sauce mole est savoureuse ainsi que les margaritas. La rapidité du service s'est grandement amélioré dans compromettre la qualité des plats réconfortants "fait maison".
Le ceviche en entrée était exquis, le Mole Poblano était sublime, très généreux en sauce. C'est une expérience de goût nouveau pour moi, tout en étant un plat très ancien. Il y a bcp de complexité avec plus de 30 épices & 5 sortes de piments séchés. La forte présence du cacao apporte une amertume qu'il faut apprivoisée & qui amène une toute autre dimension gustative (mais quiconque est amateur de bitters comme l'aperol spritz ne sera pas surpris). Le service fut pour nous très rapide, probablement parce que nous sommes arrivés dès l'ouverture à 17h, & très courtois. Nous y retournerons pour découvrir d'autres plats typiques de la gastronomie mexicaine.
P.S. Je pense que le cacao ma donné un high de caféine 😆👌😎

Food was amazing! Ordered Enchiladas & Mole Verde & everything was very tasty, the portions were very good too. Im from Mexico & I can honestly say the food brought me back there. The rice was great too. The only reason why Im not putting 5 stars is because there's currently a lack of employees everywhere & sadly this restaurant suffers from that as well, resulting in long waiting time (took 1hour & a half for us since the moment we sat down until the moment we received our food).
Si vous voulez goûter aux repas iconiques & surtout authentique de la cuisine mexicaine, venez ici!
Le service est un peu lent, mais c'est parce que les plats sont fait maison & avec tradition. Pour finir, l'ambiance & agréable & l'endroit est bien décoré. Nous avons commendé 3 poulets au mole poblano (sauce au chocolat: très recommendée), 1 poulet almendrado (sauce aux amandes) & un plat de trois tacos frits avec de la crème sure. Ça goûte comme chez nous & nous sommes d'origine mexicaine. On a aussi bu un el diablo fruité & frais, puis un el azul plus corsé. La Guadalupe donne ce qu'elle promet.

Je mange régulièrement à la Guadalupe & c'est à ce jour le meilleur restaurant mexicain que je connaisse de ce côté-ci de la frontière & je m'y connait en cuisines & cultures latinos.
C'est un restaurant agréablement décoré à la mexicaine ! Le personnel est très gentil & courtois, ils vous parleront du Mexique volontiers.
N'ayez pas peur d'essayer des plats avec du Mole, cette sauce au chocolat épicé (mais pas trop)onctueuse, & inventée par les aztèques. Elle fera plongée vos papilles dans la véritable tradition mexicaine.
