Once you have had authentic Mexican food in Mexico it's difficult to compare.
But let's try. The restaurant is very cute. We were immediately greeted at the door & seated because we had a reservation. Even though reservations are recommended there were some empty tables for walk-ins.
We were given 3 menus, one with beverages, one for specials & one for tacos & appetizers.
Once we ordered, the wait was not too long.
I ordered the Ranchero steak tacos. Two corn tacos with Oaxaca cheese, panela cheese, grilled steak, pico de gallo (chopped tomatoes, onions & cilantro), cactus. The steak was delicious & there was quite a bit. But the rest of the ingredients were practically non existent. Because of the quantity of beef, it was quite filling. I also asked for spicy salsa but they didn't have any.
My husband ordered the Cuban sandwich which was grilled pork, ham, Latin cheeses, chorizo, pickles, avocado, mayonnaise & smoked mustard & a Tortilla soup. I tasted his sandwich & it was very tasty. The only issue was that the bread was soggy. The soup was not hot & had little taste. Again we asked for spicy salsa which was not available.
The service was ok but when the bartender & or owner cane over it was great.
Would we go back? Probably not. The location is a bit far from our house & the food was not as good as the other reviews.

So much flavor in every single bite of everything I've tried there. Absolutely delicious. I wish the restaurant was a but larger, but I guess is small size & unique authentic decor is what also makes this place so special. Cuban sandwiches are crazy mouth watering amd messy....never had bette

Tout simplement wow! C'est frais & c'est savoureux, je recommande. Je met 4 étoile cuisine parce que la dernière fois mon sandwich cubano étais détrempé pain tout mou en dessous. Mais sinon à tout coup c'est succulent! 👍🏻🙏🏻

We grew up with both Cuban & Mexican cuisine in Los Angeles, & we make it a point of trying out Cuban & Mexican restaurants worldwide when traveling for work or fun & the uniquely Cuban-Mexican flavors & the quality of the ingredients along with the "just right" preparation of the pork appetizer, the quesadilla, & the most uniquely flavorful Cuban sandwich - this is a must stop for anyone who likes Cuban or Mexican cuisines & is open to innovative new fusion of the two. CubanMex fusion cuisine is getting traction in Florida, New Mexico, Texas, Arizona & of course California, but hands down - this small simple family run restaurant in Montreal is at the front of this trend. I only hope they don't get so popular, that we cannot get in next time. This type of innovation in flavor from immigrants merging their own two cultures is what Montreal is all about!
