This place is the best.

It was walking distance from the hotel I was staying at and a friend recommended I go there for some good Mexican food. They have a great menu, with almost anything you are in the mood for. The quesadilla I got was great. Just the right amount of cheese and it came with guacamole that was delicious. The drink menu is a bit expensive, but the service was good, my food... plus

I've probably walked by this restaurant over 1000 times in my life. Never even thought of walking in until last night. My friend wanted Mexican and we were right near there. Walked into the place and it was almost full.

I ordered nachos to start and they had a great twist on them. Not too sure what the spread on them was but it was great! My main dish was the shrimp tacos and they were really... plus

We came here on a Sunday night, around 5:30, and it wasn't super busy. We were both starving, and decided to give it a try. I ordered the mango margarita (pretty good) and the shrimp tacos (forgot the official name, but the one with sauteed shrimp). The boy got a mojito and chicken tacos. The plates came with 4 tacos, as well as beans, rice, and a tiny salad (tomatoes, baby romaine, and Italian... plus

Stay away from this place in my honest and humble opinion.

My fajita was too salty, with lots of cheese, no flavor and spice to it. Rice were not fresh and I can go on and on for every single thing....

I had Mexican food at a lot of places, that was definitely a shock for me.

Very good place for such a tacky name. Food is quite authentic and good and the atmosphere is nice. There lunch specials are a steal!

Been here a couple times. I liked the chicken burrito the first time but wasn't crazy about the enchiladas the second time. Nice atmosphere and location and good service. I will continue my search for a great Mexican restaurant in Montreal.

Huge meals, great vibe, lame margaritas

This tiny little restaurant on the corner of St. Laurent and Sherbrooke is a landmark for students and partygoers on the street, yet we had never been after almost a year in Montreal. After a weekend at the Osheaga music festival, we decided to give it a shot to fill our bellies before returning to the banality of normal life.... plus

Great food

The food at this place was incredible. Service is slow with only one server when we were there, but holy smokes the food is worth it. True Mexican food. The soups are so fabulous I could have had that for the meal. The flour tortillas were fresh made and the food was top notch.
If you are in a hurry,... plus

Don't Waste Your Time and Money

We visited this restaurant last year during Grand Prix week and we quite enjoyed it, so we tried it again this year. We went on a Tuesday night and the place was empty when we first arrived. In spite of this, the service was very slow. They had only one waitress on staff and she also seemed to be making... plus

My family and I checked-in at the Hilton down the street, and we were starving. We also were in the mood for some yummy cocktails.

We ordered the shrimp, tilapia, and pork (both kinds) tacos, as well as the chicken quesadilla and chicken burrito. Seriously, everything was amazing. The margaritas were okay; the shots were better. But beer is the best way to go.

Az, the owner, was super... plus

I was expecting small portions but I left this place full and with leftovers! (And that's saying a lot when I never take home leftovers, even from Greek and Italian restaurants where they tend to make it a mission to stuff you to the max). But the amount of food you get does depend on what dish. My companion ordered tacos and there didn't seem to be many of those on his plate. I ordered the... plus

Did not feel the alcohol in my drinks

after a few margaritas and a meal, i still didn't feel any type of alcohol, so i said let me try their XXX MARGARITA WHICH HAS A TRIPLE SHOT OF TEQULIA, still nothing and after all of this and a meal my bill came out too 50 dollars plus tip, not worth it, sorry

Local Flavor

Great restaurant for a quick meal and close to the Hotel 10. Service was friendly and food was fast.

A big bath of grease and fat

The worst Mexican we've ever had, attempting to rival McDonald's for lack of quality and excess of grease, which tasted as though it were scraped off a sewage pipe. The steak burrito was a wrap with stewed beef swimming in cheese and sourcream, which came for $13.50. To be fair, it came with a side salad, which was nice. The... plus

Went to this place last night with friends. An ok lookin place at St Laurent & Sherbrooke. The food is Ok too. Nothin phenomenal. Maybe coz places like El Rey Del Taco have set pretty high standards for Mexican food for me in Montreal. Service is super slow. They do have a long list of cocktails on their menu. Their Guacamole was ok. Also tried their Tacos al Pastor. I found the pork to be a... plus

The best Mexican food I've ever had

If you want authentic Mexican food you have to try this place. Very friendly staff and the food is amazing. I've tried a lot of places and this place beats all of them! I had this plate called Cochinita and my husband had the Pastor I can easily say it's the best. It's a small but very cosy place so... plus

Great little spot that takes you away to Mexico. :) we took the Sopa Azteca (it's a spicy taco soup) and the Sopa Tlalpeno (not spicy, with chick peas, zucchini, avodaco) which were both delish, then the Tacos Arrachera and the Burrito Asada.

Both mains were quite good - I think the taco was better. The burrito is heavy, but if you like beans, cheese and cream you'll like it.

Montreal is a long way from Mexico

I know. Eating Mexican food in Canada. There are so many restaurants in Montreal, serving traditional Quebec food. Why even try to get Mexican food in Montreal? But on this trip we had two 14 year old boys and a teenage daughter, so we were looking for something we knew they would eat. Mexican
It was a blisteringly cold Friday... plus

It used to be really good. Now that they changed staff, it's a totally different place. Avoid it at all cost

Super staff & super food

They were closing up for the night when three of us knocked on the door and they were happy to serve us. I was dining with a boy from Brazil and a girl from Finland, so the waitress shared her travel stories with us, and after a great meal of shrimp, vegetables & rice wraps, they gave us each a... plus

This place is good. Not super, and not bad either. It's one place you can get good, standard Tex-Mex dishes that also has a full bar and seating. Margarita pitchers were good, as were the tacos. It was good, but next time will be checking out Le Tequila Bar or Itacate for comparison.

real food

Food was real and reasonable portions. Drinks were very overpriced! Tacos were great and freshly made. A little pricey but delicious.

I first tried this place several years ago shortly after they opened, and then it was quite tasty and worth going when in the area. However, lately I think it survives on location alone. The margaritas are a joke, we order a jug of them and we kept looking at each other seriously questioning if the bartender made them non-alcoholic for us! Watered down joke. While some part of the menu can be... plus

One of my favorite Mexican food places in Montreal

Been here many times and always love their food. Great service, the ladies are lovely. Drinks are strong and great! Good portion sizes for the food and good value. Always love this place. The only downside is not TONS of seating... other than that I love this place. Quality is always fresh and amazing!

Delicious fish tacos

I thought the fish tacos here were incredible! So juicy and the sauce wasn't too overwhelming. The rice and beans they serve you were so good and definitely added a kick to the meal. The overall dish was great, and for what you get for the price you pay, there are no complaints whatsover . Tried the fish and the... plus

Amazing Mexican

SOOO GOOD :) Great find in Montreal. Nachos were amazing. Tacos were some of the best we have ever had: steak and veggie. Definitely recommended. So glad we had dinner there, surprisingly Montreal has great Mexican food!!!

Good food, great presentation

I stopped by Tequila Taco House for a quick bite during the Montreal Jazz Festival. I was really impressed with the quality and presentation of the food. Before I had even ordered, a pretty little dish of 5-colored nachos drizzled in white cheese appeared. I had the sopa Azteca (I believe that was the name) - very spicy but when... plus

Great Value

My wife and I enjoyed a great meal here. The food and the service were excellent. Authentic Mexican food at a great price. 4 Margaritas(2for1), 1 app. and 2 mains for under 50 bucks! It was a beautiful evening and they had the front wall open, great people watching too. We may return again tonight with the kids.

Really sweet and accommodating servers, a little more expensive than expected, but the Alambres tacos were tasty and I left feeling pretty full and satisfied.

Good food, Great drinks

I was delightfully surprised by the food and drink at this small corner restaurant. The staff were extremely accommodating for my group of 4. The food was delicious, a mix of Mexican and Latin American. The best was the margaritas and tequila section - fantastic! I would definitely go there again and again!

This is a neat little hole in the wall. My wife and I came here about half hour before they closed desperate for something to eat.

The food was okay, I'd say really good if it were not for all the other amazing places in Montreal that have set my standard for that city so high.

I got the Carnitas Tacos; good but the pork was a little tough and they could have used more seasoning. My wife had... plus

Great surprise find

I was in Montreal overnight for a show, and happened to walk by this restaurant. Some in my party weren't convinced by the outer look, but my sister-in-law and I thought it looked like a good place. We were all very pleased! The restaurant is quite small, but has a great atmosphere. Service was excellent, and we got good recommendation... plus

Yummy Mexican Food

We went in March 2013. Good Food, big portions. Really friendly waitress. A bit overpriced, but so is the rest of Montreal.

I had dinner here for the first time two days ago and I'm already craving their Tacos Dorados! In fact, since I walked out of that place I have gushed about it to at least four people. The number would have been higher had I had more friends.

Their menu was somewhat confusing to me because I wasn't familiar with Mexican cuisine; sadly all I know of it is the yellow boxed Old El Paso kits I... plus

Not bad not great

It was an o.k restaurant, not the greatest. Food was not spiced enough so it was a bit anaemic, and I found it a bit expensive for those portions. The service was a bit slow, there was one waitress for the whole place (not a very big place, but she had about 5-6 tables at the same time and it... plus

Nope, I do not recommend

My meal was extremely bland and not at all typically mexican. It was the plainest corn niblet rice with beef surrounded by arteries and fat, four miniscule tortillas and a dollop of salad for 12.95. I could have made this at home, it would have been better and a lot less cheap. The place was freezing cold and the emplacement... plus

Good, but could be better

Went with fiancee, minimalist decor, small place, busy street corner so parking is an issue. Food was good but not as tasty as one could expect for a typical mexican restaurant. It lacked in spices and overall spicyness......
Price is ok for the food you get, expect about 15$ per full plate. I ordered a mexican wine.... they didn't had... plus

We went to this restaurant on a quiet Wednesday night and were hoping to get some good Mexican food after reading the reviews. First off, the margaritas are a joke. They are the most watered down cocktails that I've ever had anywhere. Secondly, the guacamole that we ordered as our starter never arrived. And worst of all, the enchiladas that the bf had contained small pieces of plastic (and who... plus

Not exactly the most authentic Mexican food, but the shrimp tacos were effing yummy!

Very good, authentic Mexican food in Montreal

I really enjoyed my meal here. I have been to Mexico several times and this place felt genuinely authentic (as opposed to 3 Amigos, which is much less authentic but still very fun and good value). The prices were very reasonable. I would go back. The pitchers on margaritas were amazing!

Nice to see a place more mexican than tex-mex. The food was not as spicy as I would have liked. The guac was great. I had the Tacos Asada and enjoyed it a lot. I told the waitress that YELP was what brought us there. She had never heard of YELP, which I am finding is pretty common. I let her read a few reviews on my phone, and she seemed pretty pleased with what most of you said about the... plus

I'm originally from Austin, Texas. In Austin, this place would be pretty ordinary. In Montreal, where there is a serious lack of south of the border cuisine, this is a god-send for those craving the taco.

I recommend the guacamole and any of the taco plates. The Tacos Asada and the Tacos Dorados are pretty tasty. I haven't tried the enchiladas, as they are fairly expensive (In Texas,... plus

Delicious, friendly and a great price

YUM! We chose this spot on a recommendation of a friend and we were not disappointed. The food tasted fresh and was so flavourful! The atmosphere of the restaurant was cozy and welcoming and the food was absolutely delicious. The prices were good which was an added bonus! We're adding this place to our favourites! Try the margaritas!

2nd time there and it is amazing. Food is great and the service was awesome!

Superb

Food was excellent, Tortilla soup was fabulous. Probably best Taco and Burrito we have had. Service was excellent and very good in recommending items off the menu in particular the mango margarita. Was busy for a mid-week but well worth the wait for a table.

One of the best options for true Mexican in Montreal

Finding good Mexican cuisine in Montreal is quite a difficult task, and that's why ever since I found this place it became my preferred choice when in need of authentic tacos or fajitas. The place isn't necessarily the prettiest or best decorated one, but definitely the food is totally worth it. I personally recommend the Beef Fajitas, which are ridiculously... plus

Came here on a sunny Sunday afternoon. Lots of choices for a vegetarian and the prices were right. Even though the place was busy, the service was great, fast and my food was quite tasty. My shrimp tacos were yummy but could have been spicier though given the warning they came with!

I'd definitely come back and I'd have to say that it's better than the other Mexican options in the city.

This was my very first meal upon landing in Montreal and getting settled at my hotel.

It was quiet for a Wednesday afternoon and we were seated quickly. The waitress did her best to switch to English since we knew no french.

I had the Carne Asada tacos, my husband had pork tacos. The rices that came with each dish didn't seem like the kind you would get at a mexican restaurant but it was... plus

Authentic Tex-Mex

We arrived around 8 pm and we were seated on arrival. The restaurant is well located on the corner of Sherbrooke and St Laurent. Parking can be a pain in the butt in this area, but we managed to find a spot. The place itself isn't all that big, on the quaint side.
We ordered guacamole with chips appetizers. Beef... plus

decent mexican food at reasonable prices.. would not be my first choice for mexican..

disorganized service (several mistakes and problems)

Dry and loveless tacos for $13

stodgy greasy chips with oversalted guacamole

A cheap looking plastic menu with cheap tasting plastic food.

AVOID! Go to Grumann.

Very casual atmosphere and some very good street-style tacos. Can feel a little pricey (although certainly in line with prices in the rest of the city) for street tacos, but totally worth it. Their margaritas aren't bad either.Would recommend for Day, night or late night snack. They have a standing bar along the window so you can be in and out in a hurry if you need to.

GREAT food and service

Absolutely wonderful, authentic Mexican cuisine. Best that I've experienced in the city! Small place, not elaborate or fussy. Reasonably priced with HUGE portions: An appetizer, main course AND dessert might be too much! I paid for all 3, and with the tip, the bill came up to $34. (Dessert came home with me!)
All persons in my group (5 of... plus

Can't say I agree with previous reviews. I found the tacos lacked taste / spice, and the service was very slow. Sure it is a cheap eat, but for good Mexican food I would go somewhere else.

Maybe I caught them on a bad night? Still don't think I will go back.

A small place on the corner of Sherbrooke and St Laurent, it has a nice laid back atmosphere. I've been twice and enjoyed it both times, but they changed the menu between my two visits, and they no longer have the fish taco on the menu, but it is still available in limited quantities if you ask. Good value a little bit south of the busiest spots on St Laurent.

In town for a conference, my sister and I took a break to walk around Montreal on Friday afternoon. On our way back, we wanted to grab a quick dinner before the evening sessions started. We happened up on this restaurant on our long walk back. Albeit skeptical at first because of their external decor (as others have noted!) that includes a laminated menu pasted on their door, we decided to give... plus

Great little spot. It's certainly not fancy, but it isn't priced fancy either. In a montreal world of 3 Amigos and Mesa 14 this place pretty authentic. The food was tasty and the drinks were really good.

I would go back!

Excellent tacos at an excellent price. The tortillas were soft and fresh and the filling (beef) was tasty and good. The beef was fresh and was nicely complimented by the bacon and sausage. The rice side was also excellent and I love the corn mixed in with the rice. The nachos / tortilla appetizer came with 2 fabulous salsas: one red and one green. Both little bowls were empty, we ate it all.
... plus

Absolutely terrible.

I just went there for take out and got the chicken fajitas. I waited for an hour for my food, and was given free taco samples while I waited. This put the edge off of waiting a little bit. I get home, extremely hungry and ready to eat the chicken fajitas I once loved from this place.

I unpack the bag and see they forgot to give me my tortillas. I call and complain, the... plus

This place was pretty good. We got burritos, and they were tasty. I do wish that they'd had a fan or some AC or something, because it was hotter than hell in there and I could see an AC unit that they weren't using in favor of opening the doors (which didn't do much because it was just as hot outside and there wasn't a breeze), but I'll still go back for a burrito occasionally. We didn't drink... plus

Authentic food with genuinely friendly service

This is a great little place just south of the main strip on St Laurent. generous portions of prepared to order food-tacos particularly good.
Service very friendly -genuinely concerned that we had an enjoyable meal.

Great authentic food

Found prices reasonable - about thirteen per person, including soup or salad and I believe coffee as well. Water is flavored with lemon which we loved. Soup was best soup I've ever tasted! Tamarind salad dressing that comes with salad was interesting. Food was pretty good, decent portions. Interior is nice as well. We tried the margaritas but we really... plus

Great, authentic food

Ate here last night after reading some good reviews. Had the tortilla soup and tacos dorados. Soup was amazing and tacos were a good healthy portion. $27 with a beer and tip so a little on the pricey side compared to tacos alasador in toronto but it was of course much larger restaurant. Overall it was worth it so if... plus

Great tacos. After reading all the other reviews we thought we would give this place a try. Don't judge a book by its cover comes to mind when you see the storefront. Walking up to it we were at first skeptical that this place would have yummy tacos-- it looked run down and dark..

The tequila tacos were great, fresh salsa made it pop. The guac and chips were good as well.. Freshly made chips... plus

Authentic Mexican Food in Montreal

Wow… What a pleasant surprise!
My boyfriend and I stumbled upon Tequila Taco House because we were staying at the nearby Hilton Garden Inn. All I can say is THANK GOODNESS we found this delightful little restaurant.
I absolutely LOVE Mexican food – authentic Mexican, not Tex-Mex, and Tequila Taco House is the real deal!
I ordered a burrito and... plus

Searching for an authentic Authentic Mexican restaurant in Montreal--- look no further! Great food fantastic service and Salsa I'd wait an hour for.
Plus for veggie lovers, staff is very accommodating and will substitute beans in most dishes for you.

Have to agree with most of the posters here - this is the best Mex I have found in Montreal. The cornerstone to the place being the fresh tortillas and salsas. The server was super nice and brought more salsa without being asked. The atmosphere and prices are a bit 'bistro' for my needs in a taqueria, but I'd go again.

Excellent Mexican food! As close to the real thing as I've found in Montreal, it's decently priced and the staff is super friendly. Also very fast service.

Great food a little pricey, but the tacos were Awesome! Street style 'taquieras' which means soft shell mini tacos with anything meat with cheese and guac-o-mole. I lie

Since coming from San Diego, CA, my husband and I have hunted for authentic Mexican food in Montreal. After going to Carlos & Pepe's (worst Mexican food ever, even the salsa was terrible), and then 3 amigos (marginally better), we didn't have much expectation for this place, even though it was highly recommended.
The location is very easy to find, as it is next to Lolita's, and the decor was... plus

A great Mexican restaurant! Great service! food was really delicious!!!

Decent Mexican food in Montreal? Yes way! It may be, by default, the best Mexican restaurant in Montreal. I have very high standard when it comes to Mexican food, having spent 3 years in California.

The food was quite flavorful and felt quite authentic. I had the beef fajitas. Our waiter was very nice and attentive although he messed up my order. Anyhow, I will be back whenever I have a... plus

Great comfy place

Good place to grab a quick bite - pretty authentic, friendly service , open late!

I now have a new "favorite restaurant

I like this restaurant so much that I've been there for lunch three times in the last two weeks and now I have a new "favorite restaurant".

Tried to go. Even got a seat. Poor waitress is overburdened (lot of guys watching her, but no one helping). 20 minutes

Tried to go. Even got a seat. Poor waitress is overburdened (lot of guys watching her, but no one helping). 20 minutes and not a menu in sight... and a minute after that and we weren't either.

Good real mexican food for good price

Good real mexican food for good price.
The soups are great.

This is the best Mexican food I've had in Montreal, and I know what Mexican is supposed to taste like, I'm from New Mexico. Everything is made in house, including the superb tortilla chips. The guacamole here is fresh and the chile is delicious. This place puts 3 Amigos to shame and it's open until 4am.

These little hole-in-the-wall places are very easy to by-pass when looking for a nice place to eat. If you skip over places like this, you can often miss out on some good food, so after passing by this place over the past several weeks, I ventured inside.

I decided to go with the tacos banderos or aka their version of fish tacos made with marlin and a serrano pepper, onion, and tomato salsa.... plus
