Amazing authentic Mexican food! Kitchen & wait staff is Mexican. Not the usual fast-food type you get everywhere else. Real neighborhood , family-owned feel. Our waitress was so friendly & knowledgeable on the menu. We followed her recommendations & were not disappointed!

Nourriture correcte, portions généreuses, prix abordables, cute terrasse. Ils ont de la bière ce qui est un avantage lar rapport aux autres reje n'ai pas testé les cocktails. Je crois que le resto a récemment changé de proprio.

Jolie terrasse, serveuse gentille mais la nourriture est dégueulasse. C'est fade j'ai jamais vu ça, surtout pour un restaurant mexicain, aucun des plats commandé ( on était 4) avait du goût on a du noyer nos assiettes de sel. En plus c'est très cher pour ce que c'est. A la quantité de bons restaurants mexicains à Montréal, passez votre chemin.

Comida muito ruim. A atendente era muito simpática, mas a comida estava intragável.

Extrêmement décevant.

Après 1 h 30 d'attente, nous avons finalement reçu des tacos sans saveur, avec une viande sèche & dure comme de la roche. Nous étions quatre personnes, mais nos assiettes ont été servies une à une, avec un délai de 5 à 10 minutes entre chacune. Il est donc impossible de manger tous ensemble.

En plus de cette attente interminable, personne n'est venu remplir nos verres d'eau ni prendre de nos nouvelles pendant toute la durée du repas.

Le serveur a tenté de se rattraper, mais c'était malheureusement trop peu, trop tard.

Une expérience très décevante du début à la fin. Je ne recommande absolument.

Très déçu dans l'ensemble par la qualité du repas avec un Guacamole en entrée au gout fade qui manquait clairement d'assaisonnement, des bières Corona fourni sans citron (lime) ainsi que des tacos Birria servis sans bouillon & avec une viande très sec & sans saveur. Malgré la gentillesse du personnel je ne recommande donc pas du tout cette place compte tenu de la forte concurrence des restaurants mexicains sur Montréal.

I knew this place back when it was called'El Tarasco,' it was great spot for authentic Michoacán-style Mexican food, real regional flavor, not the standard menu most Mexican restaurants in Canada & the US serve. The carnitas were the best I'd had out of Mexico, & I appreciated the effort & care of the Michoacán family who ran it.

Under the new name'Luna Azteca,' the menu has shifted toward a more generic, crowd-pleasing style, & quality has dropped. Recently, we went to watch a Mexico World Cup match, it took over an hour to get nachos & drinks. The margarita was watered down, & the nachos were a handful of plain Walmart-style Tostitos with a small scoop of mashed beans that looked pulled from a yoghurt container in my mom's fridge, but they costed $15. We also got some guacamole with the same type of nachos & the guac was terrible, it had giant onion chunks, like they didn't even make the effort of chopping it properly.

I don't write negative reviews often, but it feels like this restaurant is investing in its Instagram image while neglecting the actual food. Nothing personal against the owners, as a Mexican, I want to see Mexican businesses succeed, but please be honest with customers & don't serve careless dishes that feel like a rip-off.
