Restaurant La Gaviota

This is by far my favourite taco place in the city. I've come here at least 5 times & it's just consistently excellent.

The ceviche is a dream, the tacos are so tasty (literally all of them, but the pescado, birria, al pastor are standouts), & the housemade hot sauce is killer. The cocktails are also great (personally a big fan of the pina colada), & they run a 5 à 7 happy hour with good prices.

The ambience is amazing - they play great mexican music, & it's not wayyy too loud (which is an issue I've often encountered in this city). Easy place to have a conversation!!

Cannot recommend this place enough. Definitely worth a visit to Outremont to try it. :)

Wow! Un des meilleurs restos mexicains où j'ai mangé. Tout était excellent, du cocktail, à la ceviche au birria. Succulent! J'y retournerai! En plus, ils ont une grande salle au 2e pour recevoir des groupes.

The Birria tacos were genuinely the best tacos I have ever had. I can't wait to come back & order more. 10/10 recommend!

?You should really check out La Gaviota. The birria & pastor tacos are incredible, they're packed with flavor & absolutely delicious. On top of that, Paola provides the best service; she's always so attentive & friendly. They also have an impressive selection of beers, wines, & cocktails. It's the perfect spot for a great meal & a drink with friends.

Best tacos I've had probably ever! I couldn't stop coming back here during my last Montreal visit. I highly recommend the Birria. The service was great too!

WOW! I had heard that Mexican (or Latin) cuisine could reach heights, but this was amazing. I normally find tacos boring, but this birria taco was the best I have ever had, the first I really liked, & when dipped into the sauce, was even better! Simple, but amazing! It really wowed me. I will not rest until I try everything on their menu!
