Service was amazing-everyone was super friendly & welcoming, & everything came out quickly. They took the time to answer all our questions without making us feel rushed, which was really nice.
The food was the highlight though. The house-made chips & guac were so good I could've just eaten that & been happy. The birria tacos were unreal-loaded, flavorful, & definitely no skimping on portions. Same with the cochinita enchiladas, which were super filling & came in a really generous serving.
We somehow made room for dessert & got the deep-fried cheesecake-definitely big enough to share (& worth it).
We left completely stuffed & happy. Definitely a spot I'd go back to over & over!
Had an amazing experience at Tularose Restaurant! The food was fresh, flavorful, & beautifully presented,those shrimp tacos were unreal. Great atmosphere & super friendly service too. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to!
Les tacos, la guacamole & les margaritas cadillac sont excellents! On est loin du Old El Paso. Les tacos sont tres bien garnis, 3 tacos chacun a été amplement suffisant avec l'entrée de guacamole & croustilles.
Parfait endroit pour souper avant un spectacle au Théâtre Desjardins!
Nous avons choisi ce restaurant pour sa proximité avec la salle de spectacle théâtre desjardin (on dit à notre serveur que notre show est à 20h il nous assure qu'on aura le temps de manger ).
En arrivant à 18h50 on nous assoit a une table, pas de menu, pas de couvert, pas d'eau.
Ce sont nos voisins de table qui ont donné les menus.
On prend notre commande 15 minutes après...
& là...on attend & on attend & on attend.
On interpelle plusieurs fois le serveur ( qui fait la caisse , la plonge, le service etc) , il dit' ça arrive , ça arrive ).
Finalement nos plats sortent à 19h45 ( alors que le resto était vraiment pas complet )..
On mange en 7 minutes.
Franchement pas agréable.
Je peux même pas dire si la bouffe est bonne vu la rapidité avec laquelle on a mangé;(
Aussi l'aération dans le resto est mauvaise
On sent vraiment la bouffe en sortant.
Maybe the best Mexican food in Montreal. I've had every one of their tacos & they are all amazingly good. Drinks & appetizers are also top-notch. Staff are incredibly friendly & welcoming. Can't wait to go back.
A really festive atmosphere. It actually felt a bit like Mexico! Great food & service. & especially for me, a good selection of vegetarian choices. Definitely going to be a regular spot for me now.

Un service impeccable & un repas succulent! Très à l'écoute de leur clientèle, j'ai vraiment beaucoup apprécié ma soirée! Merci! Seul bémol qui n'en était finalement pas tout à fait un, la taille de la table pour deux personnes ou les drinks n'entraient pas avec la nourriture & les verres d'eau, le problème a été résolu rapidement!
Had the best experience at Tularosa in Lasalle ! Firstly the hostess greeting us so nice. Food was exceptional!! Authentic Mexican food !! I can't complain one bit ! Awesome ! They make their own chips & the avocado dip is out of this world! Thk you I will definitely bring my family here !!
