With its colorful decor, warm hospitality, and unbeatable flavors, Restaurant Le 514 is the perfect place to gather with friends and family for an unforgettable brunch experience.
Reviewed as a lively and authentic Mexican spot, Restaurant Le 514 earns praise for flavorful dishes like chilaquiles, enchiladas, tampiquena, tacos al pastor, and pancita, along with standout cocktails and a warm, welcoming atmosphere that suits brunch, dinner, and karaoke nights. The service is frequently described as friendly and attentive, with guests noting generous portions and vibrant decor that evokes Mexico. Some reviews mention occasional service delays with larger groups, cold dining rooms on certain nights, and prices that feel steep for small portions or simple chips and guacamole, suggesting room for consistency and value improvements. Delivery can preserve taste well, and many readers call it one of the best Mexican experiences in Montreal, a place to return to for the flavors and the lively vibe.
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!
Vraiment délicieux! Très authentique, pleins de saveurs😋. Barria tacos sont vraiment à essayer! Petit plus, on s'est fait offrir gratuitement des churros!
If I could give Restaurant Le 514 more than five stars I would. Starting with the cocktails - the bartender is a creative genius - then moving onto the chips & avocado crema (just the right amount of heat & so delicious) & finishing with the fish tacos (the best fish tacos I've had in my life - light & crispy & full of flavour) & pozole (full of pork & super hearty) - everything was perfection. Super friendly & attentive service. Can't recommend enough.
J'ai été souper au 514 un mardi soir avec ma soeur. Les tacos al pastor étaient délicieux (juteux & tendres), & j'ai pu commander une salade pour les accompagner. J'hésitais entre les tacos & les enchiladas. Je suis hyper sensible à la nourriture piquante, alors j'ai demandé quel était le niveau d'intensité de la sauce à enchiladas verde & roja. La serveuse m'a gentiment apporté une cuillère de chacune pour que je puisse y goûter. C'était bien bon, mais trop brûlant à mon goût, alors j'ai pris les tacos. Ce qui était un excellent choix. Les assiettes, comme le décor, étaient aussi très esthétiques. J'y retournerai certainement :)
The food here is so freaking good, I had the baja crispy fish tacos & they were so delicious. Great dine in experience with comfort & atmosphere & good music too! It wasn't loud when i went there but there was an event
Alors bon restaurant dans l'ensemble. Les 2 gros points noir:
-1 très froid, il serait intelligent d'investir dans un vrai chauffage car un tout minuscule pour chauffer tput un restaurant quand il fait -20 dehors c'est pas terrible. Nous avons eu très froid & nos enfants aussi.
2- Exxxxtttrreeemmmmement cher pour ce que l'on a dans l'assiette meme si faot maison. On a pris 2 plats de tacos & 1 entrée chips guacamol très simple, 1 toast guacamol sans goût avec 2 oeufs au plat sans assaisonnement sur le dessus & 2 jus de pommes 150$??!!!!!🤯😵😵 nan mais sérieux. Faut revoir vos prix
A fuir pour nous. Pourtant nous adorons manger mexicain. Mais là pas possible les tarifs pour 3 pauvres tacos dans l'assiette

Hoy hemos estado en este maravilloso y riquísimo restaurante! La comida (pozole, pancita y tacos de cochinita, dos limonadas y crepes a la cajeta) estaba deliciosa y Valentina ha sido un encanto! 100% recomendado!
Had the cajeta crepes & some pastor tacos & they were so good! Prices are good & you definitely get what you paid for, big portions & good taste. Service was super & very friendly. We loved the vibe, the music was so fun :)

This place is a hidden gem! The food is fresh, flavorful, & clearly made with love. The tacos were packed with taste, the guac was super fresh, & the enchiladas were to die for. Great vibes, friendly staff, & margaritas that hit the spot. Can't wait to come back!
As a Mexican, I can confidently say this is the best Mexican restaurant in Montreal. The flavors are authentic -like home - with prices that are more than fair. The atmosphere is warm & lively, striking that perfect balance between casual & special. It's become my must-stop spot every time I'm in the city. The chef is always kind, present, & genuinely passionate about sharing the true taste of Mexico. Whether you're craving tacos, enchiladas, chilaquiles, agua de horchata, or just a little piece of home, this place delivers every single time.
I'll admit we came here because we were staying around the corner, it was raining, we had a dog, & they have a patio with a roof. Stroke of luck. Staff were wonderful, & the tacos are awesome!
First off I want to just say that the food is amazing. The guacamole was very good & the tacos I had were great, especially the hot sauce. The margarita I had was also very good. But this was where it stopped.
The menu in this place is just lost. We were told to scan the QR code but then we were also given a different paper menu that was brunch but we couldn't order the dishes that had eggs. Please just make a menu that includes things such Enchiladas etc. along with the taco menu online.
Next, $18 for 3 tacos with no side is a bit steep. They were very good but perhaps some rice & beans to call it a complete meal? Also, $14 for a small amount of guacamole & chips that was smaller than the picture really was disappointing.
My wife & I were part of a big group & we shared the guacamole, each had 3 tacos & had 2 margaritas & our bill was $100. & the worst part is that we left hungry, as most people did at the table.
The service was also a bit disjointed. Most of the people got tacos & from the first main to the last I would say was 20-30 minutes. There were also hot appetizers, nachos, that arrived after the mains.
This place has all the potential to be a great restaurant, they have delicious food, good drinks, & great location, they just need someone who can take it, revise the menu & work on the service/timing.
