Un petit resto du quartier chaleureux où on se sent bien, situé au coeur du Plateau, La Selva est un chouette restaurant mexicain génial pour une soirée tranquille entre amis et / ou famille. Le rapport qualité/prix est l'un des meilleurs en ville. Les portions sont généreuses, vous pouvez manger des excellentes crevettes, poissons et viandes accompagné de riz, salade et fèves.
La Selva propose une ambiance intime et chaleureuse avec un service attentif et des plats mexicains authentiques et généreux qui séduisent par leurs saveurs et leur fraîcheur, du pulpo a la plancha aux tacos Jefe, Gobernador et Gringa Carnita, sans oublier le tartare de thon et le ceviche, ainsi que les chilaquiles et les desserts chocoflan et tres leches; les cocktails bien équilibrés, le mojito au concombre et les margaritas, complètent le repas à des prix raisonnables; le cadre de quartier est cosy et convivial, propice aux sorties en famille ou entre amis, et les intolérances lactose et gluten sont prises en compte; réserver à l'avance est conseillé car l'espace est petit, mais l'expérience offre l'impression d'un véritable voyage culinaire mexicain.
Tacos Jefe, Gobernador, Gringa Carnita, Pulpo A La Plancha, Tartare De Atun 🌮🌮🌮
I think my fiance & I have found our new favourite Mexican restaurant in MTL. We are always on the hunt for good authentic Mexican food & this place really hit the spot. Our recent favourite has gone a little downhill for us as of late so we were so happy to stumble onto this place @laselvamtl
We really couldn't decide on just one thing, we rarely do, so we had to get a bunch of stuff! We got the octopus & the tuna tartare dish to start. Honestly so plesently surprised I didn't think tbh the octopus would be so tender & flavorful as it was. I know Mexican cuisine from what I've seen doesn't feature octopus so often but it was cooked as well as some of the best I've ever had. We saw like every table around us order it so we knew it was a must. Same with the tuna, light, fresh & full of complexity.I didn't expect to have in a Tartare with raspberries!
For me the star of the show was the Taco Jefe. It comes with four corn tortillas that really lend to the authenticity of Mexican Cuisine. Thinly cut ribeye with homemade chorizo an absolute must & then you get the added freshness from the grilled onions & Cactus all tied together with some cheese. Really a 10 out of 10 dish. Super impactful, bold, & extremely good portion very Hardy Taco in itself!
My fiance, her favourite was the'mini' quesadillas, the Gobernador. It was very different from a traditional taco or even quesadilla that I've had it came in a blue style tortilla with shrimp & cheese which I thought would be odd but actually really goes together very well along with some grilled vegetables Chipotle mayo & some guacamole & pico de gallo to tie it all together. I would also opt to ask for their two homemade hot sauces very spicy both of them even for someone who likes spicy but also very flavor forward!
Last but not least we have the Gringa carnita which is layers of pulled pork with cheese, vegetables, guacamole & other goodies packed in between two flour tortillas. Toasted on both sides so they get nice & crispy & the cheese melts evenly throughout!
Merci pour ce souper hors-paire, certainement le meilleur restaurant mexicain en ville ! Un guacamole à tomber parterre & des serveuses absolument adorables, accueillantes & chaleureuses.
Pouvoir faire l'expérience de La selva plusieurs fois fut à la fois un plaisir & une redécouverte. Jamais la cuisine mexicaine n'a été aussi bonne, venant d'une part du service impeccable mais également de l'ambiance électrique. Les tacos au poisson sont excellent & le guacamole vous transporte aux contrées lointaines du Yucatan. Venez en date ou à plusieurs pour une virée au Mexique gustative inoubliable
Really decent Mexican food. I like the option for corn or four tortilla. Guacamole portion is a bit small if you order the dish, but nice you get some with your tacos.
Came into this small unassuming neighbourhood spot for a late lunch. Ordered a plate of carnitas tacos & a guacamole to share. Tacos were generously filled & the carnitas was very tender, flavourful & lightly smoky. The salsa verde was very mild & tangy, meanwhile the salsa roja was deep & perfectly spicy. The staff was very welcoming & catering during our meal. The chef came out to offer us a complementary bowl of frijoles. Overall very good experience with excellent food, I'll be sure to come back often.

I had the pleasure of dining at a fantastic Mexican restaurant that truly embodies authenticity & passion, free from pretentiousness. I ordered the fish tacos, & they were absolutely delicious. The fish was fresh & perfectly cooked, & the combination of pickled cabbage & guacamole created a beautifully balanced flavor profile. The chef-owner generously offered us complimentary frijoles & ensured we were well taken care of throughout our meal. I highly recommend this establishment to anyone seeking an authentic taste of local Mexican cuisine in the heart of the Plateau.
C'était délicieux!! Le guacamole est super bon, nous avons pris en plat les tacos au poisson frit & les gringas au poulet, un délice :) Le service était très bien aussi, nous recommandons a 100%
After years of searching, I think I finally found the closest thing to an authentic Mexican restaurant in Montreal! The guacamole was superb, as were the beef & chicken tacos. The octopus entree was amazing & the coconut milk flan was perfect!

Un coup de coeur....nous avons été surpris à quel point c'était bon. Les trois nous avons pris les tacos au poulet....incroyable. La guacamole est excellente & la mole, le coup de coeur! Je vous le recommande!!
Absolutely excellent experience from start to finish. Cute little restaurant with an open kitchen & well-stocked bar. We were so busy eating, we forgot to take many pictures. The guacamole was amazing (& I'm very fussy about my guac) as was the octopus (pictured). The fish tacos were light fried in beer batter & then served with an amazing mayonnaise with avocado & habaneros peppers. Yummy! The steak tacos were equally good - rib eyes grilled on charcoal & sliced thinly. Great service. Highly recommend.
Cuisine simple & authentique mais seul une variété de tacos sont au menu. Quelques choix d'entrées; la guacamole très douce & pourrait être plus relevé.
Choix de cocktails.
Guacamole & ceviche en entrée & un petit extra de l'assiette de pieuvre offert par le restaurant, c'était excellent !! Portion généreuse en plat principaux j'ai pris l'assiette de crevettes, beaucoup de saveur !! Belle expérience à la mexicaine !! Faut goûter au Margarita 🍹
