Ta Chido Snack-bar mexicain serves authentic Mexican fare that many reviewers rate highly, with standout tacos and tortas such as the pulled pork torta and the torta pierna and al pastor tacos praised for flavor, freshness, and generous portions. The ambience is described as casual, lively, and eclectic with authentic touches and a small patio that enhance the dining experience. Service is mostly friendly and efficient, though a few guests note occasional delays or lapses like slow seating or missteps with glassware. Drinks and cocktails receive solid appreciation and the overall value and consistency of the food keep bringing guests back, with many calling it one of the best Mexican spots in Montreal. The place is regarded as a must-try casual destination for authentic Mexican flavors, even as some reviews mention occasional service hiccups and not every dish shining equally.
There's a display case full of King Kong & assorted vintage gorilla plastic toys. If that doesn't grab you & melt your heart, you're the real monster.
Family friendly, close by, run by total sweethearts, full of charm.
I get a couple of tacos & a boozy drink & I bump into friends & it's easy. My lady gets something different each time, what am I , her boss? She gets what she wants. My kid eats well too, he gets the Azteca Soup which is great.
Went for lunch today with my girlfriend & ordered the al pastor tacos. Best tacos I've had in Montreal so far. I am used to California Mexican food & this place rivals even the best I've had in SF or LA.
Nous avons pris deux sandwiches tortas & c'était absolument délicieux ! Le poulet effiloché est savoureux & parfaitement assaisonné. Les sandwiches sont frais, goûteux & très bien équilibrés. Même s'ils sont copieux, ils ne sont pas lourds du tout pour l'estomac, ce qui est vraiment appréciable. La sauce aux haricots noirs est savoureuse & agréablement surprenante ; elle apporte une touche crémeuse qui rehausse encore plus le sandwich. Honnêtement, c'est le premier sandwich sur lequel je m'extasie depuis que je suis à Montréal ! Je vous le recommande sans hésiter : tout y est, le goût & les bonnes portions !
Très bon repas authentique!! J'aimerais certainement revenir & je vous le conseille fortement ! La quantité dans les assiettes & la qualité des mets est excellente!! Les cocktails aussi !! ( Melanie )
Super bon petit restaurant où on y mange d'excellents tacos authentiques. Rien de compliqué, pas d'accompagnement, SIMPLE. Côté service, rien de négatif à dire, le staff est sympathique, mais ça été assez long à attendre dans l'entrée pour avoir une table (on nous demande d'attendre de se faire donner une table), même s'il y en avait plusieurs de libres. Beaucoup de cossins dans le resto pour une ambiance hyper casual & style'maison'. Bref, on bon petit spot à découvrir si c'est votre vibe!

Update after 3 years: disappointed on the service tbh, we went inside the restaurant & waited for about 5 min to be greated. I wasn't sure it was open as I didn't see no one but yea some people were seated outside. Once I saw someone I asked if it's open, a hey said sure theirs people in front. No apologies for the wait...then we were brought dirty glasses which were changed. I took the soup Azteca, the soup was not as it used to be...it was cold & tasteless...the taco were tasteless I took the Chicanone with papas...I forced myself to eat. Sadly I won't be going back.
Older review:Good food, authentic Mexican food. Great drinks. Good service I was very pleased I will go back & even bring a friend ☺?
This casual mexican restaurant in mile end has a small patio & a well-decorated interior. Taco for taco the prices aren't great but the general menu prices are alright. The food was pretty good but with the abundance of Mexican restaurants in the city, it didn't particularly shine for me. Service was pretty inattentive as well. Had to wait quite some time for my bill after I finished my food. Could have easily left without paying but that's not something I do.
