Restaurant Mexicain 365

I visited Restaurant Mexicain 365 to watch the Mexico vs. Ecuador World Cup match with some friends. Our plan was simple: enjoy authentic Mexican food while watching the game.

We arrived around 7:30 PM, well before kickoff, & the restaurant wasn't very busy at first. The food arrived within a reasonable amount of time, & the presentation was nice. Overall, the portions were generous, although the rice served with the Swiss enchiladas was surprisingly small compared to what you'd normally expect.

For appetizers, we ordered the calamari, & they were honestly 10/10-crispy & flavorful.

Four of us ordered the Torta Campechana. It was delicious, but I felt it could have had a little more seasoning or flavor to make it truly outstanding. Still, it was a very good sandwich, & I'd give it an 7/10.

The kids ordered the children's combo with quesadillas, fries, & a churro for dessert. Unfortunately, although we ordered two kids' meals, only one churro was served.

I didn't personally try the Swiss enchiladas, but the person who ordered them rated them 8/10. Another friend ordered the fish tacos & said they were 9/10.

The biggest issue of the evening was the service.

Since it was World Cup night, the restaurant became completely full by game time. I understand they only had one person in the kitchen & three servers, so I can appreciate that they were doing their best under a lot of pressure.

Our server told us it was actually her first day. She was very friendly & polite. However, the service was extremely slow throughout the evening. Drinks regularly took 10-15 minutes to arrive, even something as simple as beers.

One thing I wasn't expecting was the live band. I actually enjoy live music, but I wasn't sure it was the best fit for a World Cup night. They played before the match started & again during halftime, & they respectfully stopped playing when the Mexican national anthem began, which I appreciated. Personally, I would have preferred the focus to stay on the game throughout the evening, since most people were there specifically to watch the match rather than enjoy live music.

Dessert was probably the most disappointing part of the evening. I originally wanted to order the Three Chocolate dessert, but our server mentioned it would take around 20 minutes to prepare. Since I wanted something quicker, I switched to the churros because I was told they would be much faster. Unfortunately, they still took about an hour & a half to arrive. At $3.50 each, I also found them a bit overpriced, & the one I received was quite hard & not as fresh as I expected.

Overall, I think this restaurant serves good Mexican food at fair prices, & several dishes were genuinely excellent. With better organization during busy events & a little more attention to service, the experience could be much better. I'd definitely come back for the food, but probably on a quieter day rather than during a major soccer match.

The flavors are amazing & very authentic! First time I found Mixotes in Montreal, I was really surprised because it is rare in Montreal. The birria was extremly good! This is on my top 3 best mexican restaurants in Montreal. The service is a bit slow but it is ok. The ambiance is good. They are from Puebla & they have cemitas!

A place to go back to. Food is good, authentic Mexican, good hot spicy sauces (green & red) i think homemade recipe, the owner served us well, she is kind & she does serious efforts to learn & speak French or English. I would give it 5 stars if there wouldn't have been some order mistakes & wrong information given. Thankfully most have been properly corrected quickly enough & the first waitress was new, so it's somewhat understandable. Thanks

Amazing restaurant!!! The flavors are truly authentic & the portions are huge. The Cemita Traditional de Pan de Puebla was mind blowing, one of the best sandwiches I've ever tasted! The atmosphere is super relaxed & the decor is nice. The staff is friendly & helpful. Eating here is like a trip to Mexico, I will definitely come back!!

Food here is so delish! Very authentic, family meal! It's sad to see trendy, chain mexican shops close by so full when this place has much much better food ! The food tastes home cooked & made with love. Would highly recommend the pork tacos!

Great great mexican food packed with flavour. If you think that you know taco then you owe it to yourself to try this place. Generous filling. Fresh tasting. Authentic quality. Will make you want to scream'MÁS MÁS!'

Lots of seating & decent service.

This location seems better than the St-Laurent location!
