?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.

Good food - decent portions, love the tacos. Flow of service off - got one appetizer after main course for example. Good drinks - nice terrace.

The nachos were great, but the drinks not of my liking... you can rent the second floor space for small events.

Sympa comme petit resto de quartier mexicain. Bon drinks (Mezcalita bien corsée & sangria fraîche & rafraîchissante), plats bien apprêtés & service souriant & amical. Recommande !

This place has a gorgeous terrace & was able to seat us immediately for dinner on a Friday. I had the mango mezcal margarita which was absolutely delicious! The vegetarian al pastor was super flavorful, & I was so happy to see a vegetarian take on this dish with marinated mushrooms instead of pork. We also got the tres leches which was probably my least favorite. It was a bit dense, & not as sweet as I expected compared to other versions of this dessert. After the quick service we got for our drinks & tacos, I regretted ordering it since it took around 30 minutes to come out. Overall definitely recommend this place for authentic, flavorful mexican food or a delicious cocktail.

THE Best tacos in the neighborhood, & def one of the best I've tried in Montreal so far. Michelada was 👌🏻 We tried the Gobernador ( shrimps) tacos 🌮💚 & the Fish 🐟 tacos. Both were delicious but damn those shrimps were 🤤 Service is sweet & quick, & they have happy hour on drinks everyday, best way to try out the terrasse. Will go there often this summer.
