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.
Gros coup de coeur pour ce petit restaurant (±25 places) de quartier. Menu pas trop exhaustif mais l'essentiel est là. Ne pas hésiter à le visiter si vous passez par là. Je recommande.

Très chouette petit restaurant, découvert un mardi soir. La serveuse Mireille était très accueillante & aux petits soins. J'ai rarement mangé d'aussi bons tacos pour un prix plus que raisonnable + je vous conseille fortement le mojito aux concombres c'était Delish !
Awesome restaurant ! It's a small & quaint restaurant that feels really authentic, the vibe was great & the music not too loud which was really appreciated. I had the vegetarian tacos & they were really good with rice on the side. The cocktails were not like the ones you see everywhere, but really good cocktails I had never heard of ! The service was also really good, the waitress was really nice & efficient. You can definitely see she knows what she's doing ! Anyways, love the place, will come again & would definitely recommend to anyone in the area !

À chacune de mes visites à La Selva, le service est aussi impeccable que la nourriture. Point positif autant pour l'ambiance du restaurant que pour le sourire de la serveuse !!
Je conseille à 1000% & ne manquerait d'y retourner... Mention spéciale au mojito concombre à 6$ en Happy Hour & au tacos poisson.
Nous étions un groupe de 4 un soir en semaine & nous avons adoré ! Le service est amical, la cuisine est très bonne, les cocktails sont excellents (spéciale mention mojito aux concombres & mezcalita). Les prix sont très abordables pour goûter une multitude de saveurs. L'ambiance cosy du restaurant vous fait sentir comme à la maison. Bravo aux cuisiniers & à la serveuse, nous reviendrons sans hésiter !
I went for a birthday. The service was great. The food was ok. I tried the steak tacos the meat was a little too salty. They gave a dessert for the birthday & was excellent.
La nourriture était excellente. Prix raisonnables. À mon avis, le resto mérite un petit rafraîchissement, mais sinon rien à dire. Personnel chaleureux & respectueux. Je reviendrai bien évidemment.

Very nice little Mexican restaurant, serving mostly soft shell tacos. The dishes are quite filling! Most places I've been to serve just 3 small tacos that leave me wanting more, but here the plates are large enough to actually be a meal.
When I think of all these people standing in line , in the cold, to get into l'Avenue at lunch… Go get a brunch at La Selva! It's two blocks away! All four lovely brunch choices are available on week ends .We tried all four & could not decide which one was the best!
Pretty good Mexican place. Really liked their tacos, but got one of their specialty that looks like quesadilla & it was like 50% onions inside & that was way to much, not super appetizing. I would try it again though.
