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.
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!
Good restaurant in general only one meal I had was a bit bland & lack of taste it was a enchiladas barbacoa. But we also had another meal of tacos which was very good. Drinks also were good.
Only disappointment is my meal but maybe it was only bad luck or the chef on that day.

My mom & I had a great dinner at Tularosa a couple of weeks ago. The quesabirria tacos are some of the best I've had in the city! The desserts & drinks were also fantastic- good value for the price. Service was fantastic as well. We weren't rushed at all (which is rare nowadays) & we were made to feel really welcome. We'll definitely be back & wouldn't hesitate to recommend to others!
I was supposed to visit this spot a while back, but life (& a power outage) had other plans. Shoutout to the staff though they kept us updated the whole time, so we weren't left hanging. Finally made it here with my partner after hearing all the online hype, & let me just say… it was worth the wait.
The place is super cozy, you can eat inside or enjoy the terrasse like you're in a little foodie vlog. I'm pescatarian, & since shrimp wasn't available, the chef whipped up a vegetarian plate for me (promised me shrimp next time... so basically I have a delicious reason to come back 👀). The apps were on point (no corn, but plenty of tasty options).
My partner, who eats meat, was living his best life. Drinks were amazing too though I did catch myself wishing the glasses were bigger because… hello, hydration! 🍹😂
It feels like a family business, which we love ❤? warm vibes, friendly waiter with great recommendations, & just overall welcoming energy. Bonus: it's right next to a dep, so you can grab a little'after dinner something' if you're still feeling snacky.
Definitely going back. Next round, I'm coming for that shrimp. 🦐🔥
A group of 8 of us went for dinner, drinks & dessert & Tularosa did not disappoint. 👌 The service was amazing, the food & drinks were delicious & the atmosphere was wonderful. The waiter & barmaid were so friendly & genuine. Fantastic authentic restaurant.
We showed up early, around 4:30. There were not too many people there yet. We ordered our drinks, appetizer, & food all at once. Drinks were good & served quickly. Guacamole & chips took a while to come out. Guacamole was very tasty but the chips had a lime seasoning that was very sour & overpowering. Steak fajitas were super chewy & bland. The birria tacos were pretty tasty. It was disappointing that the menu online was not the menu we were presented - lots of stuff missing that we wanted to try instead. We asked for a side of rice, but the waiter informed us that they didn't have time to make any today… service wasn't terrible.. I imagine when it's busy it will take even longer to get your food. I had called earlier in the day to make reservations since their website is awful, & nobody ever called me back to confirm.
Tula Rosa was the vibe! 🍽?✨ Drinks? 10/10. Food? So good. That fried cheesecake? A moment of silence please... 😮?💨💖 & the music? Had us dancing in our seats. Loved the energy, the flavours, the whole experience. Already planning my next visit!
At Tula Rosa, we went for a bite,
The food & the drinks were just right.
The service was sweet,
So we stayed for repeat,
A second full dinner? Pure delight!
The food is fresh & flavourful, the drinks are dangerously good. There is a fantastic mocktail menu for those who don't drink alcohol. Staff & owners are friendly & hard working. I recommend the guacamole, the carne asada tacos (my 2 year old's favourite), the pastor tacos,the fajitas & enchiladas. Oh, & the quesabirria. Basically everything on the menu is delicious!!
