I found this restaurant a couple months ago & have been going back every chance I get. The food is great (I particularly like the steak tacos) the decor is really nice, & the overall atmosphere is very comfortable. If you can make it for a Salsa or board game night I highly recommend!
Absolutely incredible. The Al Pastor tacos were succulent as well as the Cochinita Pibil Tacos, which had really good pickled onions on top. The staff are kind & hospitable, & there is a massive TV screen with the World Cup on it. Service is incredible. The bartender is very skilled, awesome drinks & the Tres Leches was also very good, topped with star fruit & strawberrys.
Atmosphere is nice as well as it is on a bustling street, but not too loud either.
Amazing restaurant.
Even though the restaurant was practically empty, it took them 15 mins to come & take our order, no one offered us water, which is a basic courtesy in Montreal, especially on such a hot day. There was also no salt or napkins on the table. We had to ask for them & were given only one napkin per person.
The food was disappointing. The tacos were very greasy & overpriced for the portion size & quality. The only thing we actually liked was the lemonade.
The waitresses were friendly, but the overall service & food quality did not justify the prices. We will not be returning.

Gotta admit I walked in with low expectations but wow. The margaritas were super yummy, the tacos were so flavorful I want more. The waitress was very friendly & attentive. ¡Bueno trabajo!
Had an incredible time here with a friend while on a business trip to the city. The horchata was top notch, the nachos & shrimp tacos were delicious, & the tres leches cake transported me back home to South Texas. The manager was also kind enough to treat us to some bunuelitos on the house! I will return here the next time I am in Montreal.
Muy decepcionante la experiencia.
Visitamos el restaurante durante la transmisión de un partido de la selección mexicana y, lamentablemente, el servicio y la organización estuvieron muy por debajo de lo esperado.
Las bebidas tardaron demasiado en llegar. En particular, mi mezcalina de jamaica llegó tibia, diluida y sin el sabor que uno esperaría de este tipo de cóctel.
En cuanto a la comida, mi platillo fue servido mucho después que el resto de las personas en mi mesa. Cuando finalmente llegaron los tacos, estaban fríos. Al comentarlo, los regrese y yo misma hable con el chef, el cual tomo mis tacos, les agrego cebolla frita y me informaron que los había preparado nuevamente; sin embargo, eso no fue verdad, porque yo vi lo que hizo. Posteriormente me trajeron otra orden, pero los tacos llegaron tibios.
La falta de organización fue evidente durante todo el servicio. Los meseros parecían sobrecargados y desorientados, lo que afectó la atención a varias mesas. Incluso observamos que una mesa cercana nunca recibió los tacos ni las papas que había pedido. Al final, les ofrecieron unas papas que originalmente habían sido preparadas para otra mesa y que habían sido rechazadas.
Si el restaurante decide ser anfitrión de eventos tan importantes como los partidos del Mundial, sería fundamental contar con una mejor planificación operativa y suficiente personal para atender la demanda. La experiencia tiene potencial, pero la ejecución y el servicio necesitan mejorar considerablemente.
This is a real Mexican restaurant with dishes that go beyond the usual street food. I was pleasantly surprised to find regional specialties on the menu. I finally found a Mexican place that doesn't feel like a beachside taco shack.
We chose to try this restaurant because they had a stand down. It smelled really good outside in the street during the month of June when there is the mural festival in San Laurent Street . The advertise said three tacos for $15 with a free soft drink. We should've probably tried this offer , but thinking the qualities is the same if we sat in the terrace, we decided to go by their menu, which was different from their street sell. The terrorist looks nice & with the music festival it had a good vibe to sit there, but the food wasn't tasty/authentic, we weren't served with water nor utensils until way after our food was served, (a waitress, literally passed by our table with a picture of water & looked at the table without serving us water), my tacos was just a very soft tortilla bread & beef. No tomato/onion/cilantros/… anything! The guacamole was like a light green liquid (nothing like real guacamole) & didn't taste good, the nachos we ordered was not hot & the cheese wasn't melted. Looked like they just grated the cheese over some nachos & some randomly salsa sauce & brought right at the table. We added beans as a side dish, & it came cold & tasteless. & to just make this experience even worse, we had to wait so long after we asked for the bill , & it wasn't even crowded. I'm still posting some photos that I took so you wouldn't fall for the appearance of the restaurant. Save yourself time & money & try another Mexican restaurant. Even the chain industrial Mexican restaurant (3 Amigos) comes way better than this. (to be absolutely fair. The only thing good about this dinner. Was there small salad on one of our dishes, which was a simple salad, but ended up as the best part of it, compared to the quality of everything else)
Our experience a group of four people in this restaurant was not good! Summarizing our experience: weak service in a empty restaurant, small portions, watered-down cocktails & extremely sweet dessert. I payed $52 dollars only for my food: chips & guacamole that seems for 1 person $15,tacos birria (dried & small) $20 & a margarita cocktail $16. I I went home hungry & feeling unsatisfied. Nobody in the group liked the food, & we all left hungry! I definitely don't recommend this place!
