Manana's homemade habanero chili sauce will make you sweat even in freezing weather. The rich buttery sauce blends perfectly with the aroma of chicken, & the sautéed onions & bell peppers soak up the oil & sizzle in your mouth. Paired with a soft taco, you'll be so full you won't be able to zip up your jacket afterward. When I paid, I specifically asked the waiter if they sold that chili sauce, & then... I bought a bottle to take home & enjoy! $9/bottle
Pedimos 4 platos para compartir entre 2 y salimos casi rodando, el pozole estaba buenísimo y los tacos de camarones mejor aún!
La propietaria estuvo súper atenta y muy amable durante toda la cena, si volvemos s Montreal... Volveremos aqui
We had the best meal we've had in the two weeks we've been visiting here in Montréal. The waitress was lovely, food was delicious & the ambience great. We shared guacamole & tortillas then had chicken enchiladas, chicken fajitas, shrimp tacos, chicken taco salad bowl & fish tacos. Definitely recommend!

J'ai adoré ma sortie à ce restau authentique! Tout était délicieux. Mon seul bémol est que les portions sont minuscules pour le prix: environ 26-27$ pour 2 petits fajitas c'est bien peu considérant qu'il y avait peu de poulet & BEAUCOUP d'oignons & poivrons verts. Mon amie était aussi déçue d'avoir seulement 2 petits tacos au lieu de 3 comme on voit ailleurs. Néanmoins, repas délicieux & service courtois. Peut-être juste ajuster soit les prix, soit les portions.
Petit restaurant sympathique,musique latino,nappes colorées,terrasse donnant sur la rue St Denis.La serveuse accueillante,joli sourire,très efficace.Les prix un tantinet plus chers que d autres restos mexicains autour mais ça valait le détour & surpassé nos attentes.Le Margarita 17$, grand verre à deguster.L entrée ceviche ,belle présentation,piquant & très bon selon mes amis.Nous avons essayé l entrée de cactus gratinés ,bon, mais la sauce tomate & le fromage camouflait le goût subtil du cactus.En plat principal,la salade de quinoa,avec haricots noirs avocats ,tomates patates douces,crevettes grillées était absolument delicieuce.Quelle belle surprise! Mon conjoint a prit l enchilada végétarien & a bien aimé.Nos amis les tacos au poisson & l autre aux crevettes & on tous deux bien aimé.Le goût y est.
Nos voisins de table ont dit la même chose des tacos au boeuf.Nous étions sur la terrasse ,mais nous retournerons bien sûr cet automne pour apprécier leur bel ambiance & décor intérieur.
Wow! Le service était des plus chaleureux, le restaurant est adorable, & la cuisine délicieuse! J'ai pris les tacos portobello & je me suis régalée! Les drinks étaient également très bons! Je recommande 1000x
This was incredible, I still am dreaming of this place. Everything is homemade, from the salsa & hot sauce to the tortillas & sour cream. Everything is very well seasoned & goes together perfect. We had the steak tacos, steak fajitas, & enchiladas de Mexicana & we were absolutely in love. The margarita is delicious & uses very top quality tequila. The service was amazing, there were always people walking by that could help you but weren't overbearing at all. Will definitely be coming back often, I was blown away.
The service was excellent, a very friendly waiter. As a starter, I had a vegetarian soup which was delicious & the tacos were a bit spicy but good quality!
Not the most impressive Mexican restaurant I’ve tried in the city. The best thing about this place is probably the convenient location & décor. Steps away from Sherbrooke station, it is very accessible. The interior is colourfully decorated with murals all over the place. Unfortunately the shine of the decorations does not carry over to the quality of the food. The quantities are quite poor for the price – only two tacos per serving with a shy amount of meat. The chicken fajitas were served with corn tortillas instead of flour which is more standard for fajitas. The chicken was cut far too thick, it was in chunks reminiscent of Chinese food rather than thinner cuts. The ratio of vegetables to meat was not good either, the fajitas I was wrapping were dominant in vege which was unsatisfying. The seasoning was just unimpressive as well. The rice was super bland for Mexican rice & the “salad” was like 5 pieces of lettuce & some chopped carrots that weren’t even mixed. Only came with 3 tortillas as well so I had to buy a fourth. I asked for their hot sauce. It was a house-made habanero sauce & was quite good, but it was not flowing. I had to open up the bottle & clean out hardened residue at the top that was blocking it from coming out - no customer should ever have to do this. They had no horchata but with how mid the food was I’m sure that would have disappointed me as well. Service was alright but a bit ingenuine at times. Server got wrapped into conversation with another customer outside & delayed our bill by a bit. This place needs to revamp their recipes, they have the potential to be a lot better than they currently are.
