I was so full but couldn't stop eating! Very chill & laid back atmosphere, nice house music, our hostess & server were accomodating, friendly & informative...the food was out of this world...Def going back..can see myself becoming a regular here! Go on out & support our local businesses, the price is right too!!!!
Nice place. Nice staff. But the food was average. $13 for the guacamole appetizer!! $20 to $25 for a very average main course. It's tacos lmao. Taste was lacking. Size was a concern considering the $25 price tag. My server was amazing. Wasn't worth anything close to that. Do better.
The food at Tularosa was undeniably delicious, showcasing authentic flavors. However, the portion sizes were noticeably small by North American standards, which made the overall dining experience feel somewhat unbalanced, especially considering the price point. While I appreciate paying for well-prepared cuisine, the cost felt rather high for a Mexican restaurant.
Unfortunately, the service did not meet expectations. Our server appeared inexperienced, & we waited quite a while before receiving any attention. Although she was polite, the lack of attentiveness & efficiency detracted from the overall experience.
In summary, Tularosa offers great-tasting food in a pleasant setting, but there is room for improvement in portion size, value, & service quality.
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!
We've been to Tularosa twice now & it's quickly become our favorite Mexican restaurant in Montreal. As a Mexican-Canadian family, we're pretty picky when it comes to Mexican food, & this place truly delivers. The food is fresh, flavorful, & rooted in authentic Mexican cuisine, with a modern touch & the chef's unique twist.
Service is always friendly &, in our experience, fast. The atmosphere is cozy & welcoming. Portions are generous, & prices are fair. Will definitely keep going back!
This spot has grown popular fast, so it's a good idea to book ahead.
It was just OK, We were not served our meals at the same time. I got my meal first, & then we got the appetizer & only when I was almost done. Did my husband get his main meal… Just a little strange, The waitress was very nice, & although I am perfectly bilingual she did not speak a lick of English, & since the meals are all named in Mexican, we had trouble understanding what everything was but all in all it was just OK, Will we return? No …. Lunch cost of the two of us 71,50 including tax & tip, which I find very pricey for lunch
