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.
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.

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.
Loved this place! Michelle our Sunday morning server was bubbling with enthusiasm & a great smile. The music was eclectic & surprising - 1930s Mexican hits?!? Recommended !
Delicious & generously portioned authentic Mexican tacos, excellent service, & outstanding drinks. Forget the snow outside-this place will make you feel like you're in the Riviera Maya!

As native Texans happily in Montreal, we are always on the lookout for a good Mexican restaurant in Montreal. In the 15 years that we have been here, this is the best that we have had.

Fantastic authentic Mexican food on Park Avenue, with a fun & eclectic decor. We've been coming for years & love their Mole Verde Taco Chido & Cubana torta. Their chillaquiles were tasty & abundant, & they have a variety of addictive tacos to choose from. The guacamole & cactus salad are great appetizers. The owner is a baker, & all breads & desserts are his creations. You must try the Mexican coffee, which is warmed by a touch of cinnamon. They've also got delicious horchata, a great drink on a summer day. This is our favourite Mexican restaurant in Montreal, & despite our many visits, have still not tried all the dishes on their menu. Definitely recommended !
Quite tasty, not American "Mexican". They have tacos, however their specialty is Tortas, made on homemade bread & filled with very tasty food. The atmosphere is "hole in the wall". The service was great, not very crowded.
Great authentic Flavors, Service was ok but they were jam packed during lunch, anyone who has worked in the restauration, will understand. Anyhow the wait was worth the food! Generous portions, If you leave there with a stomach-ache its because the Tortas are HUGE, like they should be.
They recelty updated the menu & it's been a year they expanded to the next door business. They have a new flour tortilla section. Pambazos, alambre, Quesadilla flor de calabaza
It's not your typical Tex-mex, fajitas & burritos joint. It's real mexican food.

Perfect Mexican comfort street food done right. I had the torta & the bread which is made in house was so fresh. Owner & the rest of the staff were very friendly (not overly fake friendly) & made sure we were taken care of as they were quite busy.
