What an experience!! It's as if I was teleported to Mexico the minute I stepped through the door. Loud, vibrant, colourful & flavourful. A very must go!! Cheap & generous plates. Don Rigo, the flamboyant owner is at the heart of it all. Make sure to have a drink with him. Cheers 🍻
Loved the atmosphere! It's like being in a restaurant in Mexico! 🇲🇽
Beautifully decorated!!! Seriously amazing for the vibes!
Service was very nice & kind.
🌮Food was delicious & tasty but we felt it was on the greasy side- that is why I docked a star. Very very tasty, flavorful & fresh but was dripping with oil which we didn't like.
By far the best tacos in town ! Flavourful, delicious & very generous portions compared to other taco restaurant. Best bang for your buck. No other taco place comes close to this place. The quesa Birria are my favorite. Definitely a must go if you're a taco lover. It literally feels like Mexico in there.
This place is truly a hidden gem for Mexican food in the West Island. The moment you walk in, it feels like you've been transported to Mexico rather than Canada. The ambiance is lively & full of energy, with vibrant colors & great vibes throughout the restaurant.
You can immediately tell how popular it is. When I arrived around 6 PM for takeout, there wasn't a single empty table, & at least 10 people were already lined up for pickup - I was 10th in line. Within minutes, another 6-7 people joined behind me. Despite the crowd, everything moved quickly & efficiently.
Now, the food - we ordered a Vegetarian Bowl & a Burrito. The flavors were completely different from typical franchise-style Mexican spots. Everything tasted fresh, authentic, & full of character. Service was impressively fast, even during the rush.
The seating capacity is around 30-35 people, so it does get crowded, but that just adds to the lively atmosphere. Everyone seemed to be enjoying both the food & the ambiance.
Overall, this is a must-visit spot if you want to experience flavorful Mexican food & a vibrant atmosphere.
In my experience the best, most authentic Mexican restaurant in Montreal. Not a corporate American Disneyland version of Mexican dining, but the real thing. The decor is vintage Mexicana brought by the owner from his family ranch in Mexico. Colorful & genuine. Even using horse saddles as seats on side. The food is amazing. Fresh & a varied menu. The prices are reasonable & the service excellent with a friendly Latina staff. Also a well-stocked bar which has an excellent reputation for its margaritas.
Seating in winter is very limited & it's always a tight fit. But always worth it!
Pudiera decir que soy una cliente frecuente de este restaurante. Si alguien me pregunta'¿qué restaurante de comida mexicana recomiendas?' Siempre recomiendo este, desde el sabor y el ambiente es una pequena parte de México. La comida es muy rica y la atención 10/10
I felt like I was in Cancun, Mexico. Wild atmosphere & fun. Lots of energy, fun staff, quick tasty food.
Beef Burritos now super amazing to my liking as once upon a time was too salty - but now they fixed the recipe & I had the best mind blowing Burritos in decades with so many condiment options you have to try it out. They won't disappoint you. Food is amazing, so many juices, drinks, & knick knacks. They are so friendly & helpful - high energy & super cool place to visit. Iconic & a Montreal landmark. You have to check it out.
