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.
I recently had the pleasure of dining at 514 on St-Laurent, & I can confidently say-it's one of the best Mexican restaurants in Montreal!
The atmosphere is vibrant & welcoming, the staff are friendly & attentive, & the food… absolutely delicious. From the tacos to the birria, everything was full of authentic flavor & clearly made with love. The guacamole was fresh & zesty, & the margaritas? Let's just say, they know what they're doing!
What really impressed me is that they also offer delivery-& the quality remains just as incredible. Perfect for a cozy night in or when you're hosting friends & want to impress.
It's located on the iconic St-Laurent Boulevard, about a 12-minute drive from Old Montreal. If you're in the city-whether local or visiting-514 should be at the top of your list.

The food was very good! I took the Chilaquiles & requested for more spice! It was amazing. We got free tamale from the owner. Love everything about this place ❤?
The food & service are excellent. The atmosphere is fresh & friendly. I went for brunch in a Saturday & I was surprised by the easy parking on that city block!
The brunch place that preceded this one I did not care for, so it's nice to see a fresh brunch restaurant open up in this great location. A Mexican brunch place is a welcomed twist as this is one of my favourite cuisines. I found the menu interesting as it was mostly composed of Mexican dishes, with a few American dishes thrown in. The menu didn't really seems to have a clear flow to it.
Although I did say I love Mexican food - I am a huge fan of Chicken & Waffles which are not easy to find in the city, so I could not resist to see what their take on that dish would be like. I have to be honest, it was a bit weird. They threw a generous portion of berries onto the dish which looked nice but really did not compliment the rest of the dish. The waffles were alright but the fried chicken wasn't the best, the coating needs work. The quantity of chicken given was appreciated however. Service was very good, & the place has a bright & colourful feel to it. The owner even came around & blessed me with some complimentary pan dulce which was a nice touch. This place has true potential, I think they just need a third opinion on the menu from someone with more industry experience.
Excelente sazón mexicano! Todo estaba delicioso: los chilaquiles rojos con carne, la salsa estaba buenísima. Las quesabirrias estaban exquisitas, me hubieran gustado con un poco más de queso. A mí gusto le faltó un poco de picante para las 5 estrellas. Sin embargo, la duena nos preparó una salsa de habanero al instante. Sin duda regresaremos a probar otros platillos.
