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.

J'ai déjà mangé des tacos birria auparavant, mais ceux-ci étaient les meilleurs tacos birria que j'ai jamais goûtés. Le boeuf était tendre, juteux & plein de saveur, le fromage était parfaitement fondu, & le consommé de boeuf était absolument délicieux.

Nous avons aussi commandé des tacos au poulet effiloché, & ils étaient vraiment très bons. Les plats sont servis avec du riz, des haricots, de la salade & du guacamole. On ne peut pas faire plus authentique que cet endroit - les propriétaires viennent du Mexique.

Le service était rapide & les serveurs étaient très gentils. Nous avons aussi pris un mojito à la mangue, avec de vrais morceaux de mangue à l'intérieur. C'était excellent!

I ate here with my family (Mexican family) & it was super relax. It is the usual price for mexican food & I was wondering if the 3 tacos for 20-ish$ was going to be enough food, but I was surprised by the size, the portion & that it came with rice & beans & pico de gallo. The tacos have guacamole inside (the good one) & I was super full after eating. I definitely recommend if you are looking for the Tacos Enrike for the size & taste.

I was surprised that the food was very mild, but I guess that's what Montrealers expect when they go to a Mexican restaurant here. Still the tacos were delicious. The tortillas were warm & crispy without being dry, everything well seasoned & tasty. Next time I will ask to bring the heat as well.
