Review Summary

La Gaviota offers flavorful Mexican fare with strong value for the price, delivering tasty dishes and a welcoming, friendly atmosphere along with attentive service. Reviews highlight standout items like birria and pastor tacos, ceviche, quesabirria, and a good variety of cocktails and margaritas, with generous portions and consistent quality that make it a popular choice for groups and private events in a relaxed, upscale setting or on a spacious terrace. While the experience is largely positive, there are occasional notes of slower service, saltier dishes, or delivery inconsistencies, but overall the restaurant is praised for its consistency, friendly staff, and the ability to accommodate special occasions and private gatherings.

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. :)

Super restaurant de quartier qui offre les meilleurs tacos des miles à la ronde! Service attentif & courtois. La qualité & les saveurs sont toujours au rendez-vous. Essayez le quesabirria & Pastor! Vous ne serez pas déçu!

En livraison, tacos al pastor très ordinaires & gras, morceaux d'ananas pas murs & durs, portion de guacamole commandée minuscule. Ne vaut pas le prix payé malheureusement.

?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.

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.
