Restaurant Iris offre une expérience mexicaine et Veracruz authentique, avec des tamales et des pupusas qui impressionnent par leur fraîcheur et leur goût. Le mole enchilada est riche et parfaitement cuit, la sauce complexe apportant profondeur et équilibre sans être lourde. Des plats comme Come Back to Life réveillent les papilles avec des saveurs vives et des ingrédients bien pensés, et les portions restent généreuses sans excès. Le cadre est chaleureux et détendu, le service est impeccable et l'équipe est attentive et sympathique, ce qui rend le tout très agréable. Dans l'ensemble, on ressent une constance dans la qualité et l'envie de revenir pour retrouver des plats authentiques et le sazón Veracruzano qui rappelle Veracruz et le Mexique.
Lovely place, the food is delicious & very affordable. (FYI this review was written when Iris specialized in Salvadoran pupusas. The restaurant switched owners since then & is now a Mexican restaurant that I haven't tried.)
From the moment we walked into this Mexican restaurant, it was clear we were in for something special. The atmosphere immediately felt welcoming & relaxed - the kind of place where you can take your time, enjoy your food, & actually settle into the experience rather than feeling rushed out the door.
Let me start with the food, because it was genuinely excellent.
I ordered the Mole enchilada, & it was outstanding. The mole sauce was rich, deep, & layered with flavor - not overly sweet, not bitter, & clearly made with care & patience. You could really taste the complexity that makes mole such a special dish when it's done right. The enchilada itself was perfectly cooked, generously portioned, & balanced beautifully with the sauce. Every bite felt comforting & indulgent without being heavy. This is the kind of dish you think about after you leave.
To go with it, I had a Corona, which paired perfectly with the meal. Cold, refreshing, & exactly what you want alongside bold, flavorful Mexican food. Simple, classic, & satisfying.
My friend ordered the'Come Back to Life', & honestly, that name couldn't have been more accurate. It was fresh, vibrant, & bursting with flavor - the kind of dish that wakes up your palate & makes you feel energized halfway through the meal. You could tell the ingredients were fresh, & the flavors were thoughtfully put together rather than just thrown on a plate.
What really stood out to both of us was how well-executed everything was. Nothing felt rushed or careless. The food came out hot, beautifully presented, & clearly made by people who care about what they're serving. Portions were generous without being over-the-top, & we left feeling satisfied rather than stuffed.
Beyond the food, the overall experience made the meal even better. The vibe was relaxed & inviting, making it a great spot to enjoy good conversation while eating genuinely great food. It's the kind of place you'd happily return to - whether for a casual dinner, a night out with friends, or when you're specifically craving quality Mexican cuisine.
In short:
The food was really, really good.
The Mole enchilada alone is worth the visit, & paired with a cold Corona, it made for a near-perfect meal. Add in dishes like the Come Back to Life, & it's clear this place knows what it's doing.
Highly recommended, & we'll definitely be back.

Small, unassuming hole in the wall restaurant with very warm & welcoming owners! The lady was so cute, the food was deicious & service was on top! Would definitely recommend if looking for mexican food in montreal. Tacos, tamales & others.
I used to visit this place often with my family, almost every weekend. Today, I came with a friend to enjoy some traditional Veracruz dishes, but the experience was very disappointing.
The server didn't take our order until 40 minutes after we sat down, & even then, things didn't improve. After waiting for our food, we realized the waiter never actually submitted our order. At that point, we decided to leave without even having a meal.
To make matters worse, I had to pay for parking twice. As a Mexican, I was left wondering: Was this the server's first day on the job? Were they inexperienced, uninterested, or worse, indifferent?
It's a shame because I always tip well to support my culture. Will I return? I'm not sure, but this was a huge letdown.
