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!
This was my first time visiting this restaurant, & unfortunately, I would not recommend it at all. The portion sizes are far from representative of what you are paying for the plates were extremely small & overpriced for the amount of food served.
We ordered nachos as a starter to share, & the portion was barely enough for two people. On top of that, the restaurant was practically empty, yet the service was still disappointing. We basically had to beg for water because the waitress refused to leave the water bottle or pitcher at the table when we politely asked if she could.
The food itself was overly salty & nothing special. We were also offered a dessert that was basically just sugar, definitely nothing memorable or worth recommending.
Overall, this place was far from being an enjoyable dining experience. Between the poor service, tiny portions, high prices, & average food quality, it is not a restaurant I would visit again.

Vraiment délicieux! Très authentique, pleins de saveurs😋. Barria tacos sont vraiment à essayer! Petit plus, on s'est fait offrir gratuitement des churros!
It was my first time visiting this restaurant, for a wonderful Mother's Day Mariachi celebration dinner, the food was authentic & delicious, along with the atmosphere & staff.
I highly recommend this restaurant for an authentic Mexican experience & cuisine!
Went for a friend's birthday & had a great time. Our reservation didn't work, but they seated us right away & the service was amazing. The food was delicious, from tinga tostadas to pollo encacahuatado, & even an off-menu dish they offered us. Service is a bit slow, so come with patience, but it's totally worth it. I'm Mexican & highly recommend it.
L'une des pires expériences en restauration vécue. Nous étions un groupe de 4 filles qui aimont beaucoup le mexicain & la musique latine. Malheureusement, nous n'avons pas apprécié notre soirée.
Le service était très lent, plusieurs erreurs d'inattentions, en plus de ne pas parler français du tout. Nos plats sont arrivés de façon décallée, difficile de dire ce qui était l'entrée ou le plat principale. D'ailleurs, mon plat principal a été oublié & nous avons du aviser la serveuse, car toutes les autres avaient terminé de manger. Les portions étaient très petites, surtout pour le prix & les plats servis ne correspondaient pas du tout aux photos sur le menu. S'en était ridicule tellement cela ressemblait à de la fausse publicité. La nourriture était plutôt médiocre & deux filles sur quatre ont été malades par la suite.
Niveau ambiance, c'était correct sans plus. La musique était bonne, mais on ne s'entendait pas parlé tellement elle était forte.
Bref, je suis d'ordinaire plutôt facile à satisfaire Pourtant, cette fois-ci, c'était diffile de trouver du positif. Les cocktails étaient bons, voilà.
The experience was absolutely delightful. With every bite, I felt almost transported to Mexico, a truly unique flavor! I'll definitely be back soon, & with a huge appetite 😋
