Ordered the 3 tacos breakfast… they were delicious, very well served, & more than enough for a big guy. The orchata water was really tasty & the green sauce had a flavour that you can't miss.
Great place to go.

Beau cachet, un bijou bien gardé du plateau 🤭 la bouffe est fraîche & les prix ; rafraîchissants !! Abordables & des bons petits cocktails classiques. On a beaucoup aimé le tartare de thon : on la commandé deux fois 🤭🤪 à essayer !!! Nous y seront définitivement de retour bientôt - on a entendu dire qu'ils ont un bon brunch 🤭
It's my first time in Montreal, & I had Lunch with my husband at La Selva. The food & drinks were both delicious! The service was fantastic! Our server was very attentive & friendly. Would definitely recommend!
Repas délicieux & service impeccable ! Les gringas pollo & boeuf asada sont un régal, tout comme le flan coco avec le caramel aux agrumes. Merci à notre serveuse Mireille ainsi qu'au chef !
Très bonne expérience service superbe, le dessert flan coco est très bon ! Attention juste à la sauce pimentée rouge si vous n'êtes pas habitué ça peut chauffe
Loved the cozy atmosphere! The pulpo a la plancha looked great but lacked flavor. Tacos were okay but small & could've been tastier. Drinks were the highlight, & service was excellent.

Le meilleur restaurant mexicain dans lequel je me suis rendue. Les produits sont frais & la cuisine absolument exquise. Les tacos sont même meilleurs qu'au Mexique. L'équipe est sympathique & efficace!
Absolument rien à redire, allez-y les yeux fermés!
Merci pour ce souper hors-paire, certainement le meilleur restaurant mexicain en ville ! Un guacamole à tomber parterre & des serveuses absolument adorables, accueillantes & chaleureuses.
