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.
Excellent moment passé au restaurant La Selva ! La nourriture était délicieuse, l'ambiance chaleureuse & le service impeccable. Un grand merci à notre hôte Edgard pour son accueil attentionné & sa gentillesse tout au long de la soirée. On se sent vraiment les bienvenus. Nous reviendrons avec plaisir !

Tout était délicieux, service chaleureux & rapide. Le restaurant était plein & le temps d'attente pour recevoir les plats était très raisonnable. Belle soirée, je recommande sans hésite
Hands down one of the best Mexican food experiences I have ever had in Montreal. They have good-quality drinks too. The portion sizes are massive & the ambience is great. Will recommend this 10/10. Tried their chicken tacos & quesadillas!! Burrito was filling too. Their spicy sauce is actually SPICY. So be careful ;)
Excellent découverte, très convivial, un menu à découvrir !!!! C'est pas la premier fois que je viens ici avec la famille ou les amis & sûrement pas la dernière
Fantastic Mexican food, tasty, good portion & full in flavor. Margaritas were so good, we ordered 2. Very friendly service & quick. Well done to all. Highly suggested!
Je suis venu avec Mon Ami après un jour de travail & c'était la meilleure nourriture est expérience, en tant que mexicain qui est né & a grandi au Mexique je recommande cette endroit

Enjoy authentic Mexican food without leaving Mexico - La Selva. The prices aren't high; the main course, Taco Jefe, is around $20, offering high-end Western cuisine with a layered & delicious flavor profile. The restaurant's Nachos are always better than packaged snacks, especially with the perfect dipping sauce - delicious!
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!
