A small neighborhood restaurant with a warm atmosphere, located in the heart of the Plateau, La Selva is a nice Mexican restaurant and a great restaurant for a quiet evening with friends and/or family. The quality/price ratio is one of the best in town. Come and enjoy the generous portions of excellent shrimp, fish and meat accompanied by rice, salad and beans.
La Selva Restaurant Mexicain delivers authentic Mexican flavors with generous portions, a friendly and attentive service, and a warm cozy vibe that invites return visits. Guests praise tender octopus and ceviche, tacos such as Jefe, carnitas and al pastor, as well as chilaquiles and desserts like chocoflan and tres leches cake. Drinks shine with fresh cocktails and aguas frescas, including horchata and a tamarindo margarita. The menu offers good value and the atmosphere is lively yet intimate, making it a great spot for groups or a quiet night out; reservations are advised because the space is small and in demand.
Je recommande fortement ce restaurant mexicain ! On nous sert d'excellents typiques tacos ! En plus les cocktails Mohito ! & tout cela a un prix très raisonnable!
Amazing food & cozy authentic vibe! Great service too. We went with a big group & had many different dishes & drinks & they were all really great. 10/10!!!

Everything was excellent & well priced. We had best tacos we've had in MTL : Tacos carnitas & Tacos el pescador were extremely fresh & abundant. Drinks were great. I had Tamarindo margarita & horchata. 10/10!!! Definitely recommend!
This is the best Mexican food I've had since moving to Montreal. We had the octopus appetizer, which was delicious & cooked perfectly. The tacos de asada & tacos de carnita were great. The flan de leche de coco was incredible as well, & we also enjoyed our cocktails. The service was attentive & friendly. Looking forward to coming back!
Sin duda los mejores chilaquiles que eh probado, me recuerda a mi México querido. Son bastante basto y los puedes escoger con la proteína que tú elijas aparte de tu huevo 🤤
Je pourrais dire que c'est le meilleur restaurant mexicain au coeur du Plateau Mont-Royal. Les plats ont une excellente présentation & les portions sont généreuses. Le service est excellent. Je n'hésiterais pas à le recommander.
Great mexican food in Montreal! Delicious cocktails & a wide selection of drinks (bar tender was more than happy to make me a paloma but substituting mezcal for tequila, which is delish). Got the tacos jeffe & they were delicious, & the tres leches looked amazing (too full to try it). Great service, nice ambience, wonderful food.
My friends & I came here for my bachelorette party & we had a wonderful time! Thank you very much for the warm welcome, friendly service, & delicious food! We especially enjoyed the octopus appetizer, the carnitas tacos, & the cocktails!
